I’m terribly sorry, Optimist, about your job. I hope things will work out for you.

Hopefully you will find alternative

On the plus side you are aware that
alcohol will only exacerbate the problem
and you seem strong enough to heed that knowledge.
Hang on in there!
I have been amazed over and over since I moved here Bub.....Australia is so ageist, so I was SO surprised to discover how easy it is for me to start a whole new career here at my age. My landlady and her husband are 77 and 86, and they manage (personally) a lot of properties. Plus she is still a ful time real estate agent.....amazing.

I know it is an awful shock dear Optimist, but I am your age, and together we can start again, find work that we love. And that goes for 1new as well. xx

Things work out for the best most generally if we keep looking for that silver lining.
I hear you katlin.
And lovely to see you today.

I have this on the wall on our office....

24 more for me please & thanks.

Happy Tuesday 24'ers,

My darling husband is mortified that I have let slip his cleaning secret, lol. Mags1, yes I will be taking bookings

Anyway my carpets are looking utterly fabulous, as are my newly planted tubs.

Slobbing out now watching The Scorpion King whilst munching a Mars Bar ice cream, bad girl that I am

Optimist, so sorry to hear of your job loss and wishing you all the luck in the world in finding a new one.

To you wonderful milestoners, Congratulations on your fabulous achievements

If you are struggling or suffering today I am sending my heartfelt thoughts and prayers.

SoberLeigh, wishing you lots of luck with upcoming surgery, hope all goes well.

Thoughts & Prayers to you all facing crazy weather & tornadoes. Keep safe.

Much Love 24'ers......off to finish watching My film, whilst admiring my sparkly carpets, lol. SP grouphug:

So much love. ♥♥

EDIT.....I started watching.....so awful....Dayton was devastated.
I live southeast of Dayton and one of the tornadoes passed by about 5 or 10 miles to our north. Scary!

Thoughts and prayers for anyone who needs one. Sober thoughts and wishes to all.

It’s a beautifu. May day where I live. The sun is shining, light winds, there’s hardly a cloud in the sky and, it’s warm. I’m not going to ruin it by getting drunk.

Took my 8 year old son and his friends to Legoland in Windsor today as a birthday treat. Such a wonderful day. Four excited eight-year-old boys pretending to be ninjas in Legoland and me..... trying to keep up with them. I pride myself on being physically fit. I run and do yoga and walk my dog for miles every day. I thought I was fit. I thought I was. And then I went to Legoland with four excited 8-year-old boys....and now I need to collapse. Good night xxx all the best for your surgery Leigh. Sending you loads of love xxxx 24 more please xxxx

Speaking of 'legs' I'd been waiting for a sign and got one.
The weights I had been lifting at the gym were almost as much as I had lifted in my thirties.
Well I got one, a very painful inner thigh. Quite lesser workout for me.
At 77 a spring chicken I ain't and total abstinence is far more important......
