Class of March 2016 part 39
Okay PR - the picture of that cookie made my mouth water....going to make a sugar free peanut butter version this afternoon
Purplrks - that meeting sounds really cool!!
PJ - liking your use of emoji's.........also reminds me that I haven't been to any yoga classes in a while...
Well just back from a walk with Charlie....still no sun but the weather forecast predicts that it will come out exactly one week from today....lol....wow thanks Mother Nature
Morning Bobbie!!!

Morning Bobbie!!!
Jemma - so glad you are better! And the pictures friends of mine have shared of various women's marches looked amazing. Sort of wish I took DD to the one in Chicago yesterday, but I don't do so well with that big of a crowd.
PR - I'm going to save that skillet cookie recipe! DD literally just asked me if we could make brownies or a cake today. Maybe we'll make that! I do have a cast iron skillet I don't use nearly enough
Purple - your meeting sounds so great! Nothing better than dogs and outdoors!
AK - just in case you're not keeping track. Today is day 21! Three weeks! Yay for us!
I had trouble falling asleep last night...don't think I actually fell asleep until 2:30(?). So I slept in. Feels like a waste of a day, but at least I didn't sleep in AND wake up with a hangover. I'm sipping on my smoothie and hanging out with DD before tackling laundry and vacuuming.
Have a great day Misfits!

Sort of a crap day emotion wise. Maybe it was the sun going away again. Or maybe it's just, ya know, emotions. I was at Target and passed the booze section. I didn't even really consider buying anything. Instead of fighting AV, it was more of a "drinking isn't an option" and a sigh. A win I suppose. Even if I feel less than cheery about it.
CH- literally it is NOT all beer and skittles, is it? For me- it is quite often just moment by moment sanity- back to kiddie basics- HALTS(ad), even more basic- slow breathing. Jeez- I am glad I am not in charge of an oil tanker. I get stressed when people do not flush the toilet. AND THEN- shouting at the toilet does not seem to MAKE the toilet change it's behaviour. Well done. You realise in Aust. we do not have Target- it is ' Tar- get' - pronounced- tarzhhey. Frenchy sounding. Also one of the supermarket biggies- Coles- is actually Les 'Co'.
Good morning!!
Up and at em' early today. I have a day long retreat with work that I am already feeling apprehensive about. I am still in the phase where part of managing not drinking is through controlling my environment and ensuring that I am setting myself up for success. Today, unfortunately, I have no idea what the day holds, so I have no way of pre-planning and obviously I am a little freaked out by that. I guess my only recourse is that I just don't drink...no time like the present to try that out on people. Wish me luck. (sorry for the little rant so early in the morning)
PJ - water balloons are stressful! Water filled sacks of plastic being thrown at you...I think it would be weird if you didn't flinch. ��

Good morning! Was a busy and pleasant weekend. Back to work.
Sam, let us know how "I don't drink" works for you. Have fun at your retreat.
Phoenix - shouldn't you be moving soon?
Purple - your Slash doll is amazing! Love that cigarette hanging out of his mouth.
CH - I've had a few of those days lately myself. I hope I am on the other side.
Peaceful Rain - your cookie sounds awesome!
Hey - Spacegoat! Hope you're doing well.
Have a fantastic Monday, People!
I have to say - water balloons don't stress me out. or feather dusters.

The only thing that stresses me out about water balloons is filling them while a herd of children watch. I can never fill and tie them fast enough. Impatient buggers
Sam - good luck at your retreat. I feel the same way about needing to feel in control of my environment right now. Learning to be more flexible and go with the flow will come with practice, I think. Sending good vibes your way.
I was not looking forward today. I didn't fall asleep until after 1:00 (mind would not turn off), and then tossed and turned until my alarm went off at 6:30. I still managed to get up at my new goal time so I was in the office before my boss got in. DD was a rockstar this morning getting ready...didn't have to nag at her once. Feeling tired but okay. Had my morning fruit/veg smoothie and already had a cup of coffee. I can usually only handle two cups or I start to feel sick. I forgot to bring my oatmeal to work, so I may hit lunch a little early.

Hey everyone! Still sober today thank goodness....feeling pretty bleh since I haven't been to the gym in about a week. Got kind of an experiment approaching: I have two vacation days coming up in a couple weeks ~ Two days off? In a row? What's Purps gonna do??? I'm trying not to let my AV shift things in to party mode and have a plan instead....I'd like to be able to stay sober without having to work 7 days a week in order to do so!
