Great day here in Toronto! Still Don't know what episode of the various tv shows I have been on watching....

Congrats to all for your determination to make this a sober weekend and all the milestones you are reaching. Also great to have new May members to join our group journey to a better place.
Wet over here in Aus today and really cold. Might be a bit of a lazy day, but I do need to keep myself a bit busy - so might paint the wood stove in preparation for having to use it really soon.

Sorry if I worried anyone not posting when I got home from the store. I made it safe and sound!
I bought some yarn to start a sweater, as soon as groceries where put away I sat down to knit and carried away working on it. My yongest finally got me to start some white chocolate macadamia nut cookies with him. Then I made a big dinner which we ate while watching Sonic that the yongest begged to rent. It's been a good day. I had a few thoughts of buying beer when my hubby got home, but shot those down pretty quickly.
Glad to see so many of us here and ready for a hangover free, sober Saturday!

I don't even know where to start. RAL homemade crabcakes sound amazing! I wanted to make some awhile back but the crab was so expensive I abandoned that idea.
I have every channel it seems but I am still not watching anything 🙁 I always run out of time.
Other than planting a few trees my yard looks horrible. I need to plant flowers but I got behind and scared of stores due to the virus. I was out there watering tonight and wondering what I am going to do. Feels like I am always out of time.
It sounds crazy but I seem to have gotten a lot more done while drinking. I'm not gonna start drinking though.

I told him it's ok to be sad- we loved her so much, that's why it hurts so bad when we think of her. But that it's ok to be happy and laugh as well, because she wouldn't want us to be upset.
Parenting through grief is hard Suze. That's all.

SR is the best place to vent in my opinion. Pretty much everyone here 'gets it' and it never closes.

My tribe are utterly astonished when I tell them we used to have to get up out of our chairs to push a button or twiddle a dial to change channel or adjust volume.
A family I knew in the 80's had a coin operated TV. Back then you could rent a really good, posh television set and pay for it with 50p coins that you fed into a meter at the back. They were giant, bulky things back then too, weren't they? Not like the slim, sleek things you hang on the wall like a picture that we have these days.

But, that's the price of having such a great big sober active group, and I love that. If we get forgotten with something important, we can just post it again and say, "What do you think about that, class?" or something similar.

6am or thereabouts on day 10 over here friends.
It's bright but still a bit blustery in my corner of the world.
I didn't sleep very well last night. So many thoughts tumbling round my head. Every time I turned out the light the movie screen in my head flashed on and started playing back so many mind movies. Does anyone else relate to that? I'm sure you do.
And I did something a little out of my comfort zone yesterday and recorded myself reading a story for my kids' radio station episode. They're not in school right now obviously but I'm a part time staff member there, and the guy who does the weekly school radio station episodes had emailed staff asking for contributions. I'm lunchtime staff so don't have interaction with the children in classrooms, but I wanted to do something for the radio station so the younger listeners might know that I'm thinking of them. I don't like the sound of my voice very much but the reading wasn't about me so I went ahead and did it. Mr 'DJ' emailed me back later in the day thanking me and said he would be using it in this week's episode. I spent a good part of the night analysing my performance as well. <facepalm> Silly really. It's only talking. But I do my best talking in writing. That's all.
Catch up with everyone later. Hope you are all well. Time for coffee.

I gave up on trying to keep up on the plots of the shows I was watching. 2003 SARS Concert, Toronto was hit particularly bad by ''SARS'. There was a massive concert with AC/DC and the Rolling Stones that happened here. I bought 15 tickets and brought friends and colleagues. I didn't realize that there would of been 400,000 people. After AC/DC, who completely stole the show, I never saw my friends again!
We were all okay in the end. I went to buy a bottle of water and could never find my friends again because it was such a massive crowd that we were all looking for each other. The girls left to go to portable toilets, and ended up waiting so long.
I missed the Rolling stones entire performance pretty much haha. Didn't see my roommate and co-workers for 3 days!
