I'm sorry, Suze.

Thank you so much love: you are always so supportive.
I have a migraine.
And no, I should not be online, but I am so sick and tired of being sick.
Trying mind over matter and of course Nick is helping me.

Lots of fluids and a dark room and a cold compress should help too.
Will help.

Gilmer

I'm sorry. Sounds like you definitely need to lie down!

Saskia

I hope you feel better soon, Suze! Migraines are most definitely no fun :-(

venuscat

It's subsiding.....still there, but more the after-shadow now.
Not sure how else to phrase that, and I tend to lose my words when I've had a knock-out migraine.

Thank you.

How is Ms Maddie today?

Mags1

Suze , speedy recovery xx

Itchy

Dee,
You are right!!!!
Thanks for the reminder. So I won't be a bad example could you please delete the offending sentences?
I know better, my bad.
Again, my apologies and thanks for the reminder. I can do that, or in the words of Yoda:
"Do, or do not do, there is no try."

Good morning Overs.

Great picture of Maddy, Sassy.

Moved another tonne and a half of walling stone yesterday. The stones were stuck together with frost, burrrr.

Have a good one everyone.

FBL, I am glad your boss loved the book! It is wonderful to view the work achievements we have reached since becoming sober. Likely, none of us would even have had jobs if we had continued drinking.

Suze, so sorry that you have to deal with migraines. I have known several folks whom have dealt with them all of their lives. I can't even imagine the agony that you must be going through.

Lots of wind and rain expected today, but rather mild mid 40's F temps today. I will take the rain over snow any day. I don't have to shovel rain!

Have a great day all!

Well, I CAN deal with them now star, because I am sober. And I rarely get them these days. It was probably a hormone thing; being a chic is not always fun.

I'm OK now, just really tired. An early night for me I think.

And thank you ~ I have been whining about one health issue or another for months now. I started to get pretty depressed; I kept telling myself this is the price you pay for all of the years of self-harm. It may be, but beating myself up for it is counterproductive. (If Nick reads this, he is going to say ah ha, because he has told me this over and over).

Whatever damage I did is over now. I'm sure I will continue to get healthier as my sober time continues to build. And I have a lot to learn about looking after myself. In reality, I've been sober for a little more than 3 and a half years out of 30. Of course there are going to be ups and downs. I need to keep learning how to be a grown up, and letting go of the fear of doctors is one of those things I really need to work on. I am my own worst enemy....I wait too long when something is wrong, worrying that I will be told that this time it is big. That's dumb. And child-like. I need to do better.

Hmm, sorry for the diatribe...

How are you feeling?
Is your cold/bug any better?

And OY Andy, that sounds like VERY hard work. Bet your muscles are pretty awesome.

How is Mrs Andy? Isn't her birthday coming up? Not sure why that's in my head.

Love to all of the Overs. ♥

Treerat66

Wow, you have a good memory 10th of February. Glad you're feeling better.

venuscat

Now I know why I remember.
That's my birthday too.

And thank you Andy. ♡

FBL

Suze, glad you're feeling a bit better. I've had to overcome my fear of the dentist/doctor the past few years. I've made tremendous progress in that area, but I've had to work at it for sure.

Now that the book is complete, I have to figure out how to put it all together into one massive PDF file and electronically send it to the printer...no more just printing it out and sending a hard copy like the old days. Oh well, more new tricks for this old dog to learn

Have a Marvelous Monday, overs!

Dee74

congrats on completion FBL

Saskia

That's great, FBL!

Suze, I went through the same doctor/dentist fears. I had so many physical problems for awhile that I had to get used to seeing multiple docs. I thought I was a wreck. It was terribly depressing. Some of those problems are gone, some not, but now I don't stress about what I can't control - much of the time.

Thanks, Andy - and Maddy is a very sweet cat, too - quite a change after my feisty one.

Have a good Monday to all!

venuscat

So I guess you need to put the book into one file so you can export it FBL?
Again, so very happy for you.

Thank you for sharing guys.
I really appreciate the feedback.
I tend to think very badly of myself for my fears.

Love and goodnight. ♡

Sorry to hear you are feeling so bad, Suze. Hoping today will be better. Sending Love and WEL wishes your way!

Good Morning Overs!

This morning is still very windy but we were lucky in the swath of tornadoes and damaging winds from Mississippi and Georgia down to Florida. Others not so lucky.

Andy, work carefully and pace yourself.

FBL, I'm sure you're up to the tasks of learning more new things. you'll continue to amaze yourself.

Hoping everyone else is doing well today.

Well tomorrow I get my left eye done. Excited for that but not for the drive. Back is still out. That'll be the next thing I tackle.

GOOD Day to all those mentioned and not.

stargazer016

Good luck on the left eye Kris! Isn't it odd seeing the world almost split screen with one good eye and one not so good one? The only bad thing about my second eye procedure was that it was a mid afternoon appointment, and I was starving by the time it rolled around!

Glad things are better today Suze! I think that a lot of us probably feared going to a doctor because we were afraid that they would find out that we were drunks and try to make us quit. Actually, quite the opposite happened to me. I told my doctor that I had quit drinking, and it has never come up again in a conversation over many visits since. I wonder how much training the typical doctor gets in addiction recognition and treatment?

Keep safe everyone!
