Thank you Dee. :hug:

PJ love.....don't worry about the proofreading.... :hug:
You are doing so well....perhaps try not to push yourself TOO hard.... ♥♥

Thanks, Dee.

Was thinking the same. We don't care if you make errors or respond to someone not in this group. I like that you keep the lights on for us.

Hope your boys win something, Purps.

Good morning, Suze. I am ready for coffee.

I hope you all have a great day!

I shall make you a Venetian espresso with 2% grassfed milk. :) :hug:

Now....that is some kind of funny..... "grassfed milk".....because most cows are fed with corn here (ewww) and now it's the rage to do it the Aussie (and elsewhere) way, so they are keen to let us know that these cows are eating grass.

I do not think, however, that the milk is eating grass....just so funny to me. :)

My heart goes out the victims of abuse, whether from these Catholic Church events or otherwise. Those are horrendous and despicable acts that make my blood boil. I really don't have words for them, so I'll just leave it at that.

I am feeling good, and still continue to move in the right direction. I feel like I am putting some small amount of distance between some new thoughts and behaviors and the old ones. One issue, however, is that it also seems to be creating some distance in my old relationships. I'm finding this part a little hard to manage.

Coffee in hand!! Be good to yourselves :)

Huge hugs Mita. :hug:
And coffee of course.....maybe you would like Colombian? :)

Change is hard. When it is feeling uncomfortable is usually when the most growth is occurring.

Okay - that's it for my words of wisdom. My close friend list looks a lot different than it did 3 years ago, MITA. People that I thought would be a constant for the rest of my life are nowhere to be seen since I quit drinking. Go figure. Funny thing is - while I care about them and their well being - I am not necessarily missing them either. Other people and other things took their place. Hugs.

Mornin' Marchers. Gotta' get used to this time change!!!

Thanks Dee ~ Hi everyone :)

It's time for the music awards ~ Were we supposed to submit votes on this one?!? What kind of fan am I?!?! :boggled:

Friday morning here ~ I'll need to stay focused with St. Patty's taking place on the weekend.....double whammy for sure! What's everyone else got planned? :grouphug:

Hmm, plans you say....not sure yet. Have not even thought about it. :)
Perhaps more coffee would be good? :hug: s

My husband is out of town this weekend so I am going to keep Sophia and Olivia. Not really celebrating St. Patty's this year. Judging by my FB memories I did enough celebrating already.

I hope to get a little more painting done tonight and tomorrow morning. I really want to start putting up pictures and making the house ours but there is still some work to be done.

Have an awesome day!!

Cannot wait to see this house love. :)

I don't understand St Patrick's Day....and I am an Aussie....and it is HUGE there.
It might as well just be called get drunk on green beer day....or permission to be drunk all day day....

Put the girls to work I say Bobbie love....tiny little paintbrushes and overalls. :biggrin:

:grouphug:

Checking in for the early evening....online meeting a little later, trying to relax! Maybe meditation time :Meditate:

Saw GP yesterday. Told him functioning waaay much better and listed off all my herculanean achievements, that I still feel crap, sad, very tired and life is a huge effort some day, BUT I am still connected to the world. This is a lot better than Jan. So off to find a (hopefully affordable) psychiatrist. The good doc reminded me that given all that I have been through in the last 3y- I have done very well.

Getting that house ready is hard work, but satisfying at that same time. Enjoy the process, Bobbie.

Purps, definitely need a plan for the weekend. I’m not 100% what I’m doing, but I’m staying away from the bar/restaurant scene. :)

Good luck finding an affordable psychiatrist, PJ. You have a lot to share. I think maybe they should pay you!!

Hi to all the rest. A little insomnia here, but going to try for a few more hours of sleep in a bit.

I was gonna say, Wow, MITA's up early! ~ Hope U r able to hit the snooze button a little.....

Mindful crap PJ! Good for you :)

Have fun settling in and spending time w/ the girls, Bobbie.....sounds freaking awesome! :D

Already on my second cuppa startin' fluid.....trying to figure out everything at once and relax at the same time :23: :willy

Hey Marchers. I'd like to join back up here. Drinking is dumb and I'm dumb when I drink. I hope all are doing well. Nice to see all the familiar names. Heading to work now but just wanted to get this first post out of the way so I can't talk myself out of it in a few hours. I'm not gonna drink today.

CASEY!!!!! :) :)

You'd like? You'd BETTER....and no joining back.....we kept your seat warm. Made you coffee. And yelled loudly that we missed you.

Just wow. Happy making.

Have a good day at work love. :hug: ♥

Casey. You need us. We need you. It’s going to be a great day.

Don’t drink ......

:)

Casey soooo glad you're back. Drinking is dumb!!!

(((Casey!))) Thought you forgot about us LOL :hug:

Hi friends ~ may I vent a little? Idk why I let something to continue to bother me after shaking it off.....and I don't do drama or confrontation....but this morning on another website, someone replied to one of my posts and got on my case for calling it St. "Patty's" Day .....REALLY!?!? I didn't realize it was so politically incorrect to call it that. So I made a general apology (with a little sarcastic twist of course) ~ at least I remembered my Dad's advice once when he said "Don't say 'bitch' at the end" :09:

I mean, I know I can be a bit of a jerk, but some people are just way too sensitive and I'm tired of tiptoeing on eggshells! :soapbox:

More coffee please.....

Laughing SO LOUD at your dad's advice...mine told me to learn to suffer fools....not as helpful. :)

Um....I think those people are all mixed up love. The actual saying is "st Paddy's Day".... Patty was a whole 'nuther saint. So no idea who got that one in a knot. I think a lot of people have that one mixed up....it's hardly a sin. Sheesh.

Don't worry about it love.....it's way to nice a day. xxxxxx :hug:

((CaseyW)) - more pleased than I can say to see you here again.

Thanks Vee ~ I think their problem was that I used the nickname instead of saying "Patrick" ~ and on one hand I'm like okay, they're in Ireland so maybe I'm being ignorant.....then I'm like you know what!??! I'm just trying to get through the weekend sober dammit....Get off my s**t!

So I did another Chakra meditation LOL :Meditate:

heya Casey

Hi again to all. Thanks for the kind words. Work was boring. Just ate dinner. Cleaning up the house a little. Took all the poison in the fridge to the big dumpster in the alley. Gonna keep it low key tonight. Watch a little tv, play a little Zelda. Wishing everyone a happy Saturday night. Thanks again.

Had a nice sunset walk.....funny my landlord has tried setting me up with this friend of hers....neither he nor I are interested in dating but he's got a really cool dog LOL....so he went out of town and my landlord is keeping his dog for the weekend plus her two large pups, so I just went with them and helped with the walking.....dog therapy! :)

Laughing again Purps.....maybe the guy could be worth it just for the dog? ;)

Casey.....love you....we are here....all night. :) :hug:
