I had the exact same feeling when looking at these "overs" when I was an Undie, they were so much more "advanced" than me!
Have a good day Overs

I figured I’ll see how it is waking up today and I think I’m ok, just sore all over…I’ve got acupuncture this morning & another appointment on Monday…glad no one saw me! 
At least no one was filming!

OMG! I missed a couple of days! I don’t know how I manage that 
I only discover it when I come here again.
welcome, Tanky
Suze, you have a lot of courage. Often those who take big chances grow significantly from the experience - whether it works out or not. Happy yours is working out!
Got the newest Covid booster yesterday and pharmacist suggested getting flu shot at the same time. I feel achy this morning and have sore arm. Will survive.
Have a Super Saturday to all

Thanks guys…I had just dropped off a dog at her condo, so I’m really glad it didn’t happen while she was with me….the dog is ok! That’s the important part… 
Maybe I should get a better pair of sneakers…and take the elevator next time it’s raining!

I found some on sale at a nearby Shoe Carnival store….I’m not a fan of shopping, so for the first time ever I bought them online and will pick them up when they are ready….we’ll see how that goes

Purps, hope you are feeling ok. How scary!
Funny but awful video on person falling. Some of my mums weird British humor coming into play😬🤪. I needed that funny, CK
i wear 8.5 to 10s, depending on shoe type and brand. 😩. Suze, you are so kind
welcome Tanky,
glad Fran is doing well (I hope going up north means far away from hospital)
Saskia, my arm always feel like they’ll fall off after shots.

Hi Overs -
Ooowwww purps! Glad you are ok!
FBL - yay for sales. Ha ha.
Suze - congrats. You’ve worked hard to make it work.
I’m solo parenting with no daycare on a hurt foot with 2 sick kids bc MIL bailed on the last minute (again). I may come here in tears in the next week from being broken from failing to do five things at once all day and night long. Fair warning. (I set expectations low but still)

I'm checking in late here.
I had a charity bike event to go to. It was for cleft pallet kids. I wound up being really lovely. The ride was for 40 miles but my friends and I only did 20. It made me think that I need to do more of these things.
VC, yes perennials will survive the winter if they are in a zone in which they do well. They go dormant for the winter and then grow and bloom the next spring and summer. Annuals will bloom all summer and then not survive the winter while perennials bloom for a short time every summer. I think of perennials being like fire works they go off one at a time. Here we first get crocus then daffodils then tulips then iris then peonies . . . . I try to have ones that bloom at each part of the summer.
My mood was so uplifted by the long bike ride. I will spend the afternoon with a few indoor chores and working on the garden.
Have a good one all.

If any of you can fit into the 8.5s, I will happily send them.
xxxxSorry FBL—I don't think they will fit.

Oh, thank you, BK. I knew that, but I kind of thought there was some magic there that made the perennials stay in bloom through winter.
Glad you had a wonderful bikeride! xxxxx
And thank yo Serene honey; I miss you. I have been way too busy to catch up lately. And I am very sorry you are injured and looking after the kids on your own.

Hey Overs,
thankyou for all the welcomes . 🤗 & so good to read all your posts.
So I posted elsewhere in SR about why I knew I needed to come back to SR to read & post more - after being away for awhile. Largely because of going through an unexpected shaky patch.
But I guess some of the things that contributed to that are easing for me now. I have been doing a lot of work to stay the course - treating myself like a newcomer, following my program - even though I didn’t want to, and also reading and posting again on SR. and it is helping.
My friend who was out drinking that I posted about? The one who actually helped me get sober in first place. She appears to be back on a recovery path. She has attended a couple of zoom meetings with me. And I think she may have actually stopped drinking. (Not positive on that, though). But I feel like I did everything to connect with her and help her find the door.
Won’t go into all the other stuff going on, but I guess I may be in ‘eye of storm’? or more optimistically - back towards calmer waters.
part of what I am trying to grapple w for myself is to learn a little more that it is not my job to pour myself out into others until there is nothing left. That I have some value beyond what others need from me. This was integral to survival in my past , I guess - but it is no longer so. But embracing that is so damn hard for me.
So this weekend, I am kind of just sad and drained and feeling like there is nothing inside. Maybe a hangover effect from having strong feelings? That there is no me under the onion layers. But I am trying to be okay with those feelings, too. Without turning it into another moral failing.
Apologies for the long winded musing. I may have been sober for nearly 19 months , but I am still very new at emotional sobriety. 😂
