[QUOTE=LBrain;5842475]welp, I checked all the moon data to see if I can get it in a tidal pool pic... silly scheduling the day around when the moon will be visible and where...
for those new, I am visiting washington dc... planning the trip - etc...
supposed to be cherry blossom peak bloom the time I'm there, full moon the morning I am leaving... it means be at the tidal pool at 4 in the morning, 'pencil' it in
the night before possible low moon shots around 730 PM...
am I overthinking this?
^^^^^
NO not overthinking! With these details, you took my mind's eye to DC in the moonlight overlooking the cherry trees and water on the mall and then in a flash to the moonlit shore! THANKS I say!

I actually did some housekeeping outside. Break for a snack...
Mrs said open the door it's 25 outside!
"Doubting Thomas" I believe came from biblical times when the one known as Thomas didn't believe that Jesus saw his shadow when he emerged from his cave, or something like that.

Home woot!woot!
It is a beautiful evening here so I am going to go for a stroll. Phoned the boss and told him about the conference ( I learned zilch but omitted to mention that to him)
Incidentally I think I am with doubting Thomas. I am a stickler for proof when it comes to resurrections, especially around April Fools Day. He should have been called sensible Thomas

Did they even have April Fools in bible times?
Anyway...Jesus gave Thomas proof by showing him his nail scarred hands/wrists.
Have a nice stroll Sao!
So, I know I always talk about how much I love rain and stuff but I'm getting a little tired of it now! I need to go grocery shopping and HATE when all the carts are wet ugh! Seems like the little guy that brings them in would dry them off or something.
And people are driving me nuts with all their indecision today, too! And this time it's not hormones! I'm with Behan..... I need some major carbs right now.

A doubting Thomas is a skeptic who refuses to believe without direct personal experience—a reference to the Apostle Thomas, who refused to believe that the resurrected Jesus had appeared to the ten other apostles, until he could see and feel the wounds received by Jesus on the cross.

Hi everybody! HAPPY WEEEEEEEEEEEKENDDDDDD!
bigS, happy birthday! We are the same age and from the same city and we both have spent time in Latin American countries. We could have really had a disastrous rehab romance, you missed out! Lol jk. I didn't go to rehab. I wonder if we were ever sitting a few stools away from each other at one of Chicago's dive bars. Small world.
Anyway, I love your posts and sometimes they make me google the possibilities of getting out of here and working in another country for a while. Let me know if Guatemala needs any chefs or beekeepers. I'm sure they're doing just fine with that on their own, so maybe I could teach English on the side.
Doubt- I doubted I could get sober. I doubted I hurt anyone besides myself while I was drinking. I caused a lot of wreckage- 3 people this week have told me how hard it was to watch what I was doing and how terribly selfish I was. My sister used the word horrific to describe my active addiction.
I doubted they knew. I tried to act like it was somewhat of a party, or just what I did bc I didn't have a husband and kids so who cares.
I had thoughts of drinking last night, but a girl showed up drunk to the late meeting I was at and I ended up staying late and talking with her while she cried. It was her second meeting in life. We texted a lot after that.
I ended up dreaming that I drank. And then I dreamt that I woke up and thought I didn't drink, but then I realized that I had drank.
And then I woke up for real and it took me a good minute to process exactly what was going on... And when I was finally able to convince myself I was in fact completely sober and had not drank.... I can't tell you the relief I felt.
I'm not going through that crap again. I need to get serious about finding a release valve for stress and for when all the work of sobriety piles up on me and I feel like I am gonna pop. Maybe it's time to actually go to the gym I joined last week.
Thanks for the great thread, Ken. Let's do this!

I'm a little late but in for the sober weekend just as well.
Happy Belated Birthday Big S! I've got a couple years on you, but now that I'm sober, my 40s are the best years of my life. Happy Birthday.
Have a great trip Tetra and hope everyone else has a great end of the week.
