Another tricky day. I'm very emotional right now and seem to leak from the eyes at the slightest thing. Years or isolation to be with my beloved bottle have left me lonely truth be told. Sounds utterly ungrateful doesn't it given that I have 2 beautiful daughter's? I just can't get over feeling like an outsider. A weirdo who doesn't fit in. Probably feeling low without the other half (who incidentally dropped by to collect some clothes tonight). I know I'll feel a little brighter soon but right now I'm just empty.
I hope things are going well for everyone else. Or at least calm and sober. Think I'll sip on a herbal tea and try and relax tonight. Lots of love xxx

Hey Jo, just for you 
When the world is all at odds
And the mind is all at sea
Then cease the useless tedium
And brew a cup of tea.
There is magic in its fragrance,
There is solace in its taste;
And the laden moments vanish
Somehow into space.
The world becomes a lovely thing!
There is beauty as you'll see;
All because you briefly stopped
To brew a cup of tea.

Good morning Mayflies. I'm going to try and get my butt moving today. I've taken the day off (plus I'm off all next week) to get organized and tidied up. So I'm telling on myself here first. Lazing around with coffee after coffee is strictly verboten! No no no Jojo you WILL clean and tidy!
I hope everyone is okay. Ben how is the holiday going? I know you had your slip and I'm hoping you're okay mate xx
(((Sim))) love and hugs to you sweetie pie xxx
And of course big fat squishy hugs to everyone else

Yep, that pretty accurately describes every morning at Casa Arp. I have a four-hour job today, and managed to sleep in until 7am. I have to leave for work in four hours, so I have just enough time for coffee and innernet! Might even be able to squeeze in a shower, with some careful time management. If I ever get a client who needs morning help, I'll be scrambling to remember how my alarm clock works.
There goes the school bus. Every morning I hear it, I laugh and think, "ha-ha, you gotta go to schoo-ool!!" Take 'em away, the little pissers...I really should adopt a few, don't you think?
Ben, Tootiesdad, Simplicity -- check in to say hello, please...
A good Thursday to all, and to all, a good day

Another day's gone past in Gotham City... tomorrow evening I'm going home yeepeee. I'm trying to figure out who I missed most the OH or the dogs hmmm.
Just done my grocery shopping online. My mum couldn't believe that I'm food shopping from Germany and it's delivery in Wales. Wonderful!
Hey Jo, you sound a bit more upbeat, good going girl.... 1 room is plenty for 1 day, well done!
Hi Sim and Arp, I can see you online here, hope you're both ok
Hey Arp, can you send me some of your wonderful outlook on life please? I'm taking it far to serious and need to lay back a bit.
Hi Camery and Dee and Toot
A sober good night from me X

Hi guys. I'm back. A little wobble there but pointing in the right direction again now.
Dee. No the Mrs gave up giving up a while back.
Got a long drive back home this morning not looking forward to it 1 bit. The car will be a bit heavier with all the crap the kids have managed to collect over the last few days. Have a good weekend guys.

Happy Friday friends!
Glad to "see" everyone and glad to hear all is well.
Not much happening here. Cold nights and warm days has my sinuses all messed up, so I have been pretty stuffed up all week. I wish fall would just get here already..... a 75 degree day is nice, but in June. I am so ready for cooler temps, and honestly, snow even sounds good! ( LOL)
Tomorrow we are having the family pic taken at our breeders. Both parents, and all 11 puppies. So, 11 seven month old yellow labs, 20 or so adults, and a photographer that I hope gets a good shot. It'll be a fun day-- I am looking forward to just letting my girl run free and to play with her siblings.
Back to the grind of job hunting today. The market is slow here, so I have to keep on keeping on!
Have a wonderful day!

Much better day today. I can feel the gloom lifting a little and that is such a relief. Having the girls at home was lovely they're so cute when they're together!
I'll be alone tonight. Girls at their dad's and bf is still awol. Think I'll do a few more jobs and put a movie on. It's such a relief not to have thoughts about alcohol even when I'm alone. I try not to think too far ahead but please let this mean I'm getting this sobriety thing right!
Ben I hope you and the gang have got home and not stuck on the M6 or whatever all day. Fresh new start I really hope for you.
Camery awwww your girl how cute! My daughter's would love a dog but I just don't think I could cope. It's a real shame but hey never say never!
Arp how is your day going? I'm a bit gutted my eldest daughter has noticed my bad sugar habit and I got nagged today for "swapping one addiction for another mummy" Grrrrr how did they get so wise?
Safe travels back to Wales Elke. I'm afraid the UK is a bit grey and damp on your return. I'm sure your OH will have lots of lovely cow poo related duties lined up for you!
Tootiesdad! How lovely to see you pop by! Still going strong that's great news!
((((Sim)))) sending some love in case you drop by.
Right time to shuffle some washing (yeah exciting I know!). Catch you later
