24Hour Recovery Connections Part 375
I really hope the hedgehog is OK. When my husband got home from work yesterday, it was still sunny so he got our sun loungers and put them on the grass ... the sun loungers have been stacked up against the outside of our house since last summer. Anyway, he didn't realise but 2 robins had made a nest in the sun loungers. As he moved them, the nest fell and 3 baby birds fell onto the ground. We put on gloves and placed the babies back in the nest and then placed the nest in a nearby tree...wasn't safe to leave it on the ground. A little later, the 2 robins flew back to where the nest had been. They kept flying around but didn't seem to see where the nest had been moved to. So I put some bread on the branch by the nest. It took a little while but eventually one of the robins flew close to the nest. He/she seemed reluctant to approach the nest.... maybe thought it was a trap? Anyway, in the end both robins flew to the nest and after a while one robin flew away again and returned with a worm which I'm hoping means the babies are OK and ready to be fed. I was worried they would have the scent of humans on them but I'm tentatively hopeful that the relocation went OK. Poor robins.... probably thought making a nest in stacked up sunloungers in the UK was a safe bet..... but even here we occasionally sunbathe. Hope they make their nests in the trees from now on.
Oh, and the funniest part of this story happened after I put the bread on the branch..... I never thought I'd see a large, clumsy labrador attempt to climb a tree but ever the optimist my dog had a go!! He didn't get the bread. He tried to run up the tree trunk, fell over and then pretended nothing had happened. Bless him.
Congratulations to everyone celebrating a milestone today.... 24 more for me please xxxx

So glad that the robins responded positively. 💜
24.
I found out some very heavy and distressing info yesterday, that I will not share...Dark and horrible events. I find more compassion for the screw ups my family (and thus me- I need to allow empathy for me too) had in the light of such terrible stuff.
No thinks of booze....long gone are cravings or thoughts- I seek resolution and closure. The news explains a lot.
Support to all.

Please stay close; we will help you work through this, every step of the way.
Morning/Evening all, wake up to a dull gloomy morning with rain......sigh
Feeling a bit gloomy and for some reason a bit anxious. I think it's because I have some things I should be doing and keep avoiding as if
someone will just wave a wand for me lol.
Anyway off to my home group @ lunchtime, guaranteed to give me a lift and probably a bit of gentle butt kicking too. Really getting to know people here and them me, it really helps me to feel as connected as I do here. Oh & speaking of meetings my Thursday night Steps & Traditions meeting had an amazing guy there this week, was sharing on step 9 & it was brilliant. Nowhere near there haha but got some real hope that with time and recovery I will have what he has in his life again. Baby steps, not running of with myself thinking I'm a guru,
Awww Neo, hope Mr Hedgie is ok,Juliet hope you enjoy your day at the new job,Suze hope your Petunias are splendiferous.Nic, hope your weekend is peaceful.
All of you amazing 24'ers hope you have a safe & peaceful weekend. You really help me, so Thank you. Didn't mean to drone on so much, oops. Much Love to all, SP

Congratulations to our milestoners today.
I haven't been able to keep up to date properly and respond the way I would like but my love, prayer and best wishes are with everyone that I have read is sick and/or struggling here today, aussie, nic, jojo.
Thinking about you too phoenix, I hope you are ok.
I'm all over the place tbh. I understand Snufkin cause I think I'm in a similar place to you. It's so hard to keep making the right decisions but one minute at a time. I just feel confused about everything again.
I'm off to the inlaws for the night, which feels like a safe place to be. I'll try and check in later but I just needed to touch base just now with you all.
Lots of love. Gabe xxx
