That sounds like fun MITA

I actually got the pencil and sketch paper out yesterday, just a couple of cartoon characters that I like but it's therapeutic...."arty stuff" as PJ calls it

Time for startin' fluid and for me to complain about the time change

Well, yesterday sucked big time......can't go into details (will explain in a PM if you like). And now it is dark for another hour and a half. Only thing saving me is coffee.

Hope things have shifted for you, Suze.

MITA - the show in the desert sounds amazing. Hope your visit with your son was awesome.

Purps - sounds like a great weekend.

Suze - I'll post some before, during and after pics soon. This transformation is awesome.

PHX - loving the art work. Seeing your story all the way.

BBG - I need strong startin' fluid today. The time change has me yawning big time.

Mish - I'm exciting that you're running. I'm looking to do a few half marathons this summer.

Lillian, 13th, Sam, Caramel - thinking of you all.

Have an awesome day, Marchers.

So....I am thinking today is a very good Monday.....no matter how it started.

Quiet day for me. Yesterday- a friend from recovery program (who isn't recovering) asked me to 'babysit' her, as she had been drinking and was worried may do something silly- very screwed up family of origin. I am careful not to allow myself to be used as a support- to enable people to booze on and feel as if they are getting support for it, but my friend does try very hard to improve her lot- very hard, and is not harming others. I do have boundaries about this sort of stuff- and am very careful.
Exhausting nonetheless- but did all I had to do today- plus pushing a bit more...when I get very tired- my fried bits hurt more. Lots of fresh fruit and raw vegies in a wrap helped.
