Bimini, my daughter's knuckles are rainbow colored too. Probably her elbows too.

Well, toes, but that's plenty.

I can hear her voice still. I can here it say I am sorry. Every year on this day I hear it and every year I drank and cursed that voice. Until today.
I just cannot go on that way. I have to forgive. 12 years now.
So I woke... I took sleep meds and went to bed early. I woke late. I never sleep in as you all know. But I am moving slow and refuse to feel pressure to do much of anything except be kind to everyone I see today. Be easy on my self today. And try to turn this days tradition of blackout drunkeness into a day of honor. First to honor me. Yes me. Only I can keep me sober. I must come before everything or I have nothing. Then for her.
I said this here so I can not make a big deal of anything and just have a sober Friday with you'all.
So.... Let's get myself together and get out there a bit. Go see Tommy for coffee.. The bad storms last night drove the humidity away and this morning is crisp and still. Birds singing and cats at my feet.
I will be close to this thread all day. I have a lunch date that I can share about a bit later.

Bimini, lol. Reminds me... I dated a guy who had fond memories of an Italian lady painting his nails for him when he was around 8 years old and living in Italy (Dad was military). He is straight. It is just so funny to me

Bimini, you don't remember MM's toes from a few weeks ago?
Welcome aboard Hopscotch! Good to see you.
Yes, there are red bananas. My grocer has them once in a while.
Ok. Sitting under skylights and the clouds just opened overhead.

Thanks guys! Home already, traffic was lighter than usual. Borrowed lots of boxes from work in preperation for the big move next month.
My post count is very low compared to others. I do have a shy streak that alcohol used to fix, until I turned loud mouth and arragont. I like my shy streak now:-)

Officially finished work for the weekend! Wahooo!!! Typical...warm all week and now lots of rain! Sober weekend planned with lots of fun things. Nice to know that I will make all the plans without cancelling due to hangover. Being sober is a blast!
My first payday yesterday since getting sober...will be very interesting to see how much I save!
Have a great one all!

Pepper and strawberries ?! Hmmm
Welcome to the bus hopscotch !
So today I am going to the tire shop and getting my nails done
Rainbow polish sounds like a fun idea. I agree on just painting toes. I bite my fingernails so it never lasts.
Hope everyone is having a good day
Going for a jog, it's beautiful outside today

As Don King says - only in America
We have had some pretty heavy rain this afternoon but you wouldn't think so now as the sky is a uniform blue
Quite tired now, pipe and slippers tonight
