Good morning all! Day 4, I got my startin fluid yum and trying to plan my wee ones birthday party. Those 3 years flew by 😢 I've been through 4 themes already now I'm thinking Popeye since that is his latest obsession. Man I never realized how obnoxious Olive Oil was until recently and her whinny help, Popeye help! 😂

I need to make some breakfast, I'll catch up with you all later.

Hi guys!! Just a quick check in. I keep expecting things to slow down a bit at work, but I keep having my expectations dashed.

Have a great day and stay sober. I'm gonna get some cookies and ice cream today, BBG. Thanks for the recommendation!!

PR- what a gift it is to be getting a handle on this recovery thing. I chose the topic meeting yesterday- how to forgive self. One younger lady (in the same recovery umbrella as I) shared- teary. Her 2 children were now teenagers, but because of her drinking in their early days (she was hospitalised 13 times in 1 year) have been out of her life for 'years'.

Hey everyone ~ I'm getting excited about the show tomorrow so bear with me...I need to remember that I have to work in the morning first!

Trying to get everything in order....at least I colored my hair already....ok I know he's married, but it needed to be done anyway....a little incentive doesn't hurt, right?

My friend hopes they take requests since she wants to hear a particular song....that man could watch paint dry for all I care!

Friends has something for every day! Remember when Monica wanted Phoebe's grandmother's recipe for chocolate chip cookies?

I think the measure of recovery is not whether we have the thoughts or not, but what we do with them Keets

I had a staffie knock on my door with fix-it stuff (like the little rubber things that go on chair legs). She said she had a note that I would be moving ALL my stuff into the new unit this weekend. So a little different than 'start' to move my stuff. I know they want me kind of out by lunch Tuesday- for a new tenant. But do not get the keys until after lunch Tuesday. interesting- a year ago I had zip. But through very hardies saving- I have enough stuff now to insure (which I have). So you can guess my train of thought. Sooo- packed up about 70% of my stuff to 'begin' moving all tomorrow. In cleaning every square inch of surfaces- I have found 3 different types of hair. Short and long black hair, and long grey hair. I have short brown hair with a splash of grey. I think there has been a cat here. I am doing my best to be a nice person to the staff here as they are very good at what they do. Good there is a covered walkway /car park. The weather is throwing all the good winter stuff my way. Keeps me occupied. Lowers anxiety and headaches.

Well waking up to my last day of holidays. No real plans....it's actually pretty cool and dreary out. Sitting here sipping some startin' fluid and waiting on DH to get up.

Casey - glad you're checking in. Hope to see you back here soon.

Bobbie - that must have been a tough exercise. Glad you got through it. Proud of you.

Purplrks - enjoy the show!!

PJ - great meeting topic choice. It's interesting how we can often forgive others so much easier than ourselves. The expectation bar seems to be set so much higher for us

Hi Dee!!

Sorry to those I missed. Well off to refill my cup and make some plans for the day

Happy Saturday!!
