WOAH! That's some big-ass salmon!
Hope y'all over on the west coast aren't shaken up too badly.....when the boys played their UFC concert in Vegas they said it was the first time they'd ever been welcomed by an earthquake
Luckily all went well and they had a great show 
Having startin' fluid and hoping this rain continues (at least while I'm at work so it won't be so friggin' HOT) ~ I'll check back in later

I'm sorry it's tough for you right now, PHX. Sending lots of good vibes.
Holy mackerel, Lillian. That is some salmon. I love salmon. Hope you can do some fun stuff with that. The eyes kind of mess me up.
Sounds like you had a decent weekend, Purps. Funny that you did laundry and Monkees. I did that about two months ago.
Hey, Caramel!
Have a great day, everyone. If I haven't said it recently - I am so grateful for everyone here. Be awesome today!

Here lies a woman who was always tired
For she lived in a world where too much was required
They can put that on my headstone after a very long life hopefully. Ha!
Really...it reminds me that being tired is a sign I’m accomplishing something. It means I’m moving forward in some regard.
I’m sorry you’re sad. Just keep swimming, just keep swimming

Checking in w/ startin' fluid 
It's funny how you can get a bunch of positive feedback, and the one negative jerk sticks out. I have these small information cards to help spread awareness about puppy mills, and I've been messaging animal rescue shelters around the US to see if they would like any mailed to them....it's not like I'm trying to sell them....some dude in California replied back and was pretty snippy....I politely thanked him but it's like He could've just ignored me like most of the others do....Sheesh! And I've gotten a handful of replies from people who are happy to take the info, so that's what I should focus on

I hear you dear Purps....and that would upset me too. Way too much.
But in particular with puppy mills, how on earth could anyone not want to help?
That is beyond me.
Love to all, very tired.

Went to meet old nursing friend for coffee. She was 40m late..but I took it in my stride..which is interesting- before recovery this would have been a major annoyance. Her mum also was waiting before me- and this behavior from my friend is apparently so predictable, as to be late- her mum went home, then I drove my friend to her mum's. I am beginning to 'intuitively' work out stuff, that (as mentioned) before recovery- would have been impossible for me to do- in letting go, acceptance, patience, mindfulness. The only really hard time now, is the wee hours of the night, where the voices of uncertainty kick in. BUT- I am getting on with life and making progress.

Back now from a pretty long trip. I left last Wednesday, the 3rd, and just got back today. Pretty tired now. It was kind of a tough trip, but overall I'm okay. I wasn't far enough past my last relapse to really expect to handle it well, so it's just been hard. Glad to be safely home.
Purps, you are killing it - Way.To.Go!!!
PJ, some great shares, as always.
Happy Friday gang

My youngest son called and messaged me. He wants my support in something which is a biggie for him, and very positive, but as it is his stuff will not say here. I agreed with no hesitation. He raised the lack of contact, but I cut him short and said given my foo I probably understood this more than he might think. Also that me loving him had never changed and my saw me as a crap dad- doing bad things as I was very unwell, not because I am a bad person. He basically said he knew I needed space to walk this part of my journey without extra guilt etc (jeez- 29 and more grounded than me in a 1000 lifetimes). I do not expect to be Mr Popular, but will continue to be thankful a this moment in being a part of my son's life today. Last night- as I knew, all the crap unmindful emotions kicked in, the guilts etc...I think I did rather well. Instead of gutsing myself on icecream, apple pie with cream and lots of cookies- I bought 6 macadamia and white choc cookies and left it at that. Then toast. So the wheel still turns and I am grateful to be here for my son.
