I'm already filling my schedule for tomorrow morning...

trachemys

Mani or pedi first?

Gilmer

I'm too cheap for that!

More like shower, surf, supermarket, schoolwork, phonecalls. Beginning at 3 am if all goes according to plan!

trachemys

You should be asleep now.

Gilmer

I'll go at 9 (3 minutes from now).

trachemys

Nite! See you about 5 AM.

Misterchill.....way to go! That's the way to do it, thinking it through. It's creepy how cravings come on just sometimes but not other times. But good for you for beating it.

Wow this thread got long. Sorry can't catch up on the whole thing but really hope everyone had a great sober weekend. I did. Wrapping up day 6 for me and my AV is still loud but being busy and clear headed helps.

Happy Fathers Day to everyone. All 4 of my kids spent today with me and it was wonderful.

I'm still here...Let's try 6:30!

Gilmer

Glad you had a good day, OMB!

Sometimes things are best left to the spur of the moment. I didn't do pots. I usually make a grand production, selecting things just so. This time, I had to get milk at the store. Plants are discounted because it's not spring. I got sale plants and I'm actually pretty pleased. These will look fine once they stretch their legs a bit. And I got my basil planted

It's been a pleasure hanging with y'all today. I am pooped. Going to bed sober tonight!

Good night everyone!

I have vines. Ruby's front porch and cat.

That's a really beautiful picture, Ruby - with the kitteh.

Hey kids, you know what's cool?

As you get older, you need less sleep! You can stay up late, wake up often and wake up early. It's a benefit!

Ask Gilmer!

I'm really yawny. I was out most of the day in the sun at the Art Fair/music thingy. I went home without the one print I really liked, and of course wish I had bought it. But my bank account is happier and I have no where to hang it anyway.

I have pictures on my phone - *see*?

Niters, everyone

Had a nice sober day with my family.

Crashing out now. 4 small kids can be quite draining. Props to all of you who have kids.

Ruby2

Night night, Bim!

Yes, props to everyone with kids. They are wearing sometimes. One down, one to go. It's dark out here. Fireflies are out. House is more trashed than it was after the party. Mr. Ruby gets upset because I apparently don't keep the kids in line but the biggest messes happen when I'm not here and he's in charge. So, he's full of beans

Thank you. Appreciate it. This was not the same type of "craving" I dealt with even during the early days. It's like my brain decided to take a stab at a potential weak spot in my resolve. Before I thought it through the smart way, I completely thought through the bad way. It was like I decided I was definitely going to go out and buy something but needed to make sure I had my bases covered before I went. I can honestly say I wasn't prepared for it. I hadn't experienced something like this even during the weird first week.

I'm really glad I didn't follow through. It would have been a big mistake on many levels and I was too close for comfort. And had I done it, I would be pretty mad at myself right now.

I kinda have a feeling these "tense moments" will randomly pop up from time to time for years. Next time I'm going to punch that stupid voice right in the face before it gets me rationalizing and figuring out how to do the wrong thing.
