Good morning class 
Suse those solar lights are gorgeous! I hope your weather is nice today!
Plenny I hope you enjoy your bbq!
My boys requested burgers, fries and potato salad. I think I will whip up some rice krispy treads too. So far I plan on just chilling at home today. I want to watch the new Cruella movie too... been trying to get my brood to all sit down together to watch since Friday, lol.
Jo congrats on 43 days! And Happy Birthday to your son! May 30 is a great bday.
Hi Kitten, hope you are feeling a little more awake now. I just started in on a cup of new coffee I got yesterday, it is Choc-Hazelnut. Not sure how much I like it, but to be honest I bought it because I liked the tin it came in.
Hope everyone else is doing well!

I have about 50 solar stake lights and flower lights that sit low to the ground, and I have lost most of them under a sea of ivy.
On a mission to find them all and wash some glass tops and replace batteries. I have learned however that some of them will never work again, so I may have bought some new ones.
4 of these ~
And these ~
Just about to put them all together.
Fence installation should be happening within the next 2-3 weeks.

And, I posted before seeing the next page with more solar lights! Do you mind sharing where you found such a fun assortment, Suze?
Plenny, another vote for potato salad. I know it’s probably simple for your level of skill, but, those basics are so good. Although, my husband’s family isn’t big on mayonnaise, so, they’d need a German style potato salad. I’m sure you’ll come up with something great!
Citrus, I so enjoyed a perfect burger at the party on Saturday, that I think I’ll make burgers tonight. The kids both like them, which can be a challenge. I thought about doing french fries too. I’d make potato salad but my kids don’t like it. I try to avoid carbs on the regular, so wouldn’t want to be the one finishing leftovers, lol. I’ve been off the rails following the diverticulitis, because a low fiber diet is advised while healing. Nothing like medically advised carbs. 😋

Hello Everyone!
There are such good posts on here since I was on last.
Venus, I love those and I had no idea there were so many different colors. My husband bought one for our front yard at the beginning of spring. He does love working in the yard so much.
All went well here last night, no drinking, no pouting, a nice evening. We had many evenings like that just a few years ago and so it was a nice reminder of what sobriety really feels like. Now, my husband's decision not to drink is his and his alone. He knows that I don't want to drink anymore so we are clear on that.
On a bad note, I hurt like h@ll today! Gosh, if it isn't one thing, it is another. I am not really sure why. The only thing I can think of is that we did have an active week and yesterday was not great weather wise for us so we watched a lot of tv. I sat in my chair, I LOVE my chair! I had it made especially for my spine condition by Lazy-Boy, it does all kinds of neat tricks with the push of a button so no matter how I am feeling I can be comfortable. Maybe I need more of my chair today or I just need to walk it off. It is pretty today so I really want to be out by the pool this afternoon.
I do have the second part of my back procedure done on Thursday so that is a good thing. Maybe getting it all finished will help matters tremendously. I almost have ideas of just calling my neuro/spine surgeon and tell him to bolt it all together and be done with it. Lower back fusion is a last resort type of procedure and then there are no guarantees that it will be better, it could actually do more harm then good. I really shouldn't entertain ideas like that.
So I stayed sober another day, life is good with my husband, back hurts like h@ll, Two out of three is not bad. I will take it because it could be worse.
Have a good sober day everyone!

I'm on a low fiber diet for now too!
Lower water intake and lower in fiber.
