Hi everyone!

Just checking in on this sober Friday night. Watching Moana with the little bugs. Feeling tired and looking forward to an early bedtime, hopefully.

Hope everyone is doing well. Sober Friday nights are the best and hangover free Saturday mornings are even better :) Much love to all xxx

Hey, LB!

Thanks, Dee.

Ho B- how were the 'old' people's cards? Jeez- they MUST have been old!
I was reading about how a young lady met up with an internet date. She was in her 20's, he was 97. Could not have coffee 'cos it made him pee and stay up too late- but tried to work his moves on her anyway. Nope.

Dee- no need for sorryments. Just really careful. The recovery place I am part of- somehow my -mine alone computer has had 2 internet virusey,troll-whatever things freeze it up- so paranoid.


What? What did you say? Your talking about me!!!!! (ha- .ha)

Nitey night friends. No BBT tonight so it's an "Everybody Loves Raymond" night. I can fall asleep watchin' that.

Thanks for keeping me sober today. Huggies on ya'!

TGIF! Another nice sober Friday night for me. Not across the street tho. I live across from this estate that does wedding receptions there. Lotsa bass tonight. I don't care, I have a loud tv to drown it out. 😀

Long, busy night at work. It was local college graduation.

Glad to be home. Glad to be off work tomorrow. Glad to be sober. Zelda for an hour and then long long long sleep hopefully.

Good mornin' friends!

Morning, BBG. Evening, Phoenix.

Morning all! Sweet dreams, PJ!

It is going to pour rain all day and it's cold, yuck. Going to a meeting this morning with my sponsor and then my in-laws are coming over for lunch. I won't drink today!

Have a wonderful weekend, friends.

not yet, ladyb. 2217 Sat- another 5 hours yet. Hope all are okay.
Hello B- what old timer game are you playing tonight? Have you polished your zimmer frame ready? Pharmacy stockings on? Hot water bottle?

Of the 5 people that have moved to this stage of recovery before me- one has just been checked out for having booze on site, and the other 4 have started drinking again. Sigh- they do not understand how bad this stuff can get. Or if they do- lordy help them. Another guy at the meeting my sponsor and I go to on Sat's- quickly invited himself to a ciggie from my sponsor, did not put in the donation bowl (very small meeting), asked my sponsor for another cigge- then for money. My sponsor gave him some. His is a kinder soul than I. He said the guy asking for money was probably only on this amount of money- I pointed out so was I- but I hold no judgements- once I would have. Respect for all is needed at meetings and was not my business anyway.

Morning class. Slept great but not waking up so great so far. Coffee is brewing though.

Off today. Gonna go do a little junk/thrift store shopping in a bit. Then it's laundry at my dad's. I'll take my Nintendo Switch with me and play some Mario Kart with my nephew. He loves me but he loves my video games more.

Not gonna drink today. How about you?

Okay, woke up, went back to sleep. I'm up now. Really. Okay, I'm getting up .

Today's agenda: yard work, run. That's it. Looking forward to a lazy day.

Have a fantastic day everyone. You're my people.

Hi guys!!

Well hubby works tomorrow so he's making me breakfast while trying to tend to the kids. I am sipping startin fluid watching the food network. Not much is getting accomplished except a whole lot of chuckling on my end. Welcome to my world :lmao I am thoroughly enjoying siting on my butt while someone else does all the work for a change! 💕💕💕

Morning gang!! Glorious weather this weekend. Plans are to put more of my house back together. And a neighbor friend asked what I was doing for Mother's Day. With no family around and a 10 year old, I said, probably nothing (which I am totally fine with). She invited us over to her Mother's Day family gathering. So sweet. We're going to a plant nursery to pick out flowers (her tradition to kick off summer: Mother's Day flower pots). Really looking forward to that.

Work is still strange. There is a saddness in the office. The diagnosis my boss got is a stage IV cancer. He's my age. Has children DD's age. He is fit, seemingly healthy as can be. He was in and out of work last week with weird symptoms, returned to work Monday. And by Tuesday night was in the hospital with a cancer diagnosis. By Thursday night found out it is stage IV. Life certainly is full of curve balls.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. Even it work is in the mix ;)

Sam whirr ya' at!!!

Bobbie ~ yard work and going for a run? That doesn't sound like a lazy day at all!

Wow CH that is scary and sad about your boss.....hopefully he can still recover (?) And I hope you have a good Mother's Day :)

Happy Mother's Day to all mommas! :Flower111

Limited internet connection here so I may not be able to torture you all with videos.....I know how disappointing that must be for you guys! :laughing:

I'm right here!! Thanks BBG!! Forgot to check in. Making shepherds pie for dinner and dealing with a not-so-good Charlie. She has some medicine though so she should be on the upswing!

Sorry 'bout Charlie. Luv me some shepherds pie!!!

Sam - sorry Charlie isn't feeling well. Poor pup.

Purp - we're certainly rooting for him. It's not good, but not "there's nothing we can do" either. He's a super positive guy. I just can't imagine having to wrap my head around news like that. His boss is helping to get a meal calendar going for the family. One way we can help support them.

Bobbie - hope you enjoyed your hands in the dirt!

I'm running errands while DD is at a birthday party. Going to make a Greek pasta salad and a dip of some sort for the Mother's Day shindig.

CH - that's so cool your neighbors invited you over.

Yeah, Purp, I guess I meant a day spent at home, not already scheduled.

My yard looks pretty good, just saying. More old people cards. If you had told me 2 years ago that every Friday and Saturday we would be playing Canasta, I wouldn't have believed it. Yet, here we are. It's fun.

Hope everyone is enjoying their day.

Listening to my ABR Band cd (who, btw, is being considered for a Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Blues Album! That's right!) :dance4:

This morning at work someone told me "you look tired" ~ I thought Lady, it's 6:30 in the morning! ~ Lol but I can't imagine how rough I looked with a hangover every day.....gotta relax a little more, I guess.....:Meditate:

Gonna' have a fudge brownie and some ice cream and then lay down and watch BBT. Have a nice evening everybody.

Thanks for keeping me sober today!

sorry about your boss CH.

Hope Charlie feels better soon Sam :)

Nice day off. Bought a ton of books (no picture, sorry for those who care) for $5. Seriously it was like 25 great books, including some good recovery books. Did my laundry. Played Mario Kart with my nephew for three hours. Napped twice. Ate good food. Went to an AA meeting. Now it's time for bed. Hope everyone had a nice day!

Sleep well cw. Mum's day here. No mum- sent a prayer her way. Lovely autumn day. 1157.

Mother's Day here as well starting in a few hours. My mum passed away unexpectedly 3 years ago.

But luckily, my dad married an absolutely wonderful woman 27 years ago who I can also consider a mom. She truly is one of the best people I've ever met in my life. As much as I love my dad, she's way way way better a person than him. He's a lucky man. I'm also lucky to have had in her my life for so long now.

I have to work tomorrow morning/afternoon, but I'm going to have dinner with her and the rest of the family after that. And, yes, I'll be thinking of my "real" mother during that time as well. She was a complicated person with her own drug issues and psychological problems but I know that, no matter what, she did love me and I love her too and I hope she knew that too when she passed away.

She knew, Casey.

Night friends.
