I thought I will go to McDonalds and get a deluxe breakfast and get to the office and have some Starbucks coffee we keep there...
And then... no, I can't do that... I can't leave a cold house and no coffee for her... she doesn't know how to work the camp stove and her fire building talents are, well, she struggles, LOL... and the dog needs to go outside...
So, I thought, well, I'll start a big roaring fire and get a pot of coffee brewed and ready... i'll make me late to work, a little, but, that's what I gotta do...
So with the coffee in the carafe, the fire crackling, the dog all peed out... I go to tell her I'm leaving for work... She's not there, turns out she went in to work early, hours before she usually has to....
LOL
So I dismantle the fire, batten down the hatches...
Starbucks coffee is good stuff....

That's a tough break. Hope the power comes back ASAP.

I'm about a step away from snapping like a twig lol Ken, thanks for asking.
I take care of elderly mom with Alzheimers and it's been the week from hell. This morning was spent in the ER due to her dramatics-5 hours to be told it's arthritis and to take tylenol. She of course was fine the minute she got bored there. My hair is standing on end right now and there's no relief in sight.
If ever there was a day when I was tempted to drink it would be rightnowthisveryminute. It's taking a lot to resist but I'm not going near the bar.
If anyone asked me how I was I would probably say "fine"
Mark, hope your power is restored soon! Jeni hope the eye infection clears up soon-no fun!
Glad so many people are feeling fine (the real definition)

I'm grateful today. I woke up feeling much better than yesterday. I went to the noon meeting. I'm off work today. My body is trying to get used to my meds and that's ok. I'm going to hang in there. :-)

doing pretty well :)
I am on day 3, yaaaaaaay! And i'm getting the car fixed that I smashed the last time I drank. I love reading everyone's replies on here and even though i've only posted once a day, it has helped so much to pop on here throughout the day and read the kindness shared between everyone as we navigate this intensely difficult journey. I love this site and i'm so glad I found it!
