Keep hanging on, Caramel! Maybe review some stuff in your toolbox? (I should do that too!)

Yes, definitely doing a review; bucking-up ideas about nutrition also. I never was a greedy teenager but lately have been snacking as if I was, and I can't get away with that!

Editing to add: thinking about that, it's part of some misguided thought-process that says "I deserve a treat".
Hmm.

Dining room is ready, sanded some patching and did more ceiling vacuuming. I'm amazed at how invisible those spidery things get when you're not looking for them. They were everywhere. It's 68 here. Gorgeous...dog got two walks today

Thanks Purp! Thank Bobbie! It's going to feel so good when the house is painted. It will feel even better once it's refinanced and solely in my name.

My hero is 50 years young today. That makes him a Taurus just like me! People think I'm crazy ~ good thing I stopped giving a crap what people think a long time ago!

Monday here....better get ready for the day.....I need to stay sober so I can stay focused. No hangover today so that's a good start! See you all in a little while

Welcome back Caramel

one thing I can suggest is post before you drink - it's not a treat no matter how much you want it to be, or how much your brain thinks it is.

It's deadly.

Morning friends!!

Forced myself to sleep a little today....which really means I laid in bed, awake and staring at the ceiling....but it's a start. Lol. Heading to the gym soon and then it's the normal day off activities...cleaning and laundry. Tomorrow I have a dentists appointment to have my last wisdom tooth removed. It's had never bothered me until recently so I guess it's time. Meh. I hate the dentist. Lol

Well I am off to find some startin' fluid. Will be around a lot today...my AV has already poked her head up but so far I've managed to kick her in the butt.

Love you guys!

Well peoples- just one of those days. Had counselling- always get very positive feedback. Then went to a lunch meeting. Even had some people who have seen me for a year or so- who have established eye-c but not done much else- say hi. More acceptance over life's stuff- not much more I can do with faceless govt women now- all that can be done has been done. Doing more arty stuff- getting very good f-b from others (not the exhibit people- yet, bastar*s). So productive considering running on 3 hours sleep a night. Also started sharing poetry on a f-b site uses. After the meeting, no sense of relief- I felt worse. Headache- anxiety. Circadian perhaps. BUT I am now focussing on new mindful crap my counsellor uses- shared. Stay well all.

Good freaking morning, March people!

Calm, uneventful weekend. Loved it. Took my son to lunch yesterday. After living in his car so long - he really needs a shower. Seems like he may be getting close to hitting the wall and wanting help. He gets a paycheck today though, so that may change.

Hope everyone has a great day! Love and hugs and prayers and all that stuff. Seriously, you are all in my thoughts.

Good morning, Marchers. Slept like crap last night but I think that was because I was anxious about something. We've got a huge bigwig coming in to work today and it's making our immediate bosses act like morons. I got not one, not two, but three different people agree to work today in exchange for my working for them this next weekend but the bosses wouldn't acknowledge, approve, or deny the shift swap on our online scheduling system. I kept waking up every couple of hours to check my phone to see if I got a message on it. (Such schedule swaps are usually pretty much instantly approved/denied.) Finally at 7:30 this morning, I told myself, "You're going to have to work today so just let it go and start getting ready." Decided to take a long hot bath with a thermos of coffee and a good book (or four) to start the day. I was five minutes into the bath when I got a text saying my shift swap had been approved only 17 hours after I asked for it. There's some kind of message in there about letting go and acceptance, I think.

So I'm off work today. Plan is Zelda with a 6:30 meeting in the mix too. Probably a nap as well since I didn't sleep well.

Wishing everyone a safe and sober Monday/upside down Tuesday. I'm not gonna drink today. That would be a bad decision.
