Rainy Sunday afternoon here. I love sitting on my screened-in porch in the rain. It's like being in it without being in it, ya know? Day 42 without alcohol. Can't hardly believe it. No plans on drinking today so it seems as though I have made it through another weekend. Praise be!!

Not sure about that carpeted toilet seat.... Ewww....

I'm sad tonight.
There are times I would like to be able to talk to my dad without my mom listening in on every single conversation and flying off the handle.

..but it's better than a wooden one. If you don't sand/varnish a wooden real smooth you.....well, I think we all know what happens.....

I second the ewww on that toilet seat, no room for error there and I've raised all boys.....lots of errors.

Tetra-glad ur feeling better about the diagnosis. I'd be a little freaked too.....but again thanks to my boys, I've eradicated both lice and worms from my household by following the dr.'s orders. Maybe your dad could ask your mom to give the 2 of you some privacy so you can talk?

I'm coming up on 5 months sober. Who knew you could watch football sans beer? Go Steelers!

Hi all - busy weekend. Finally hit the beach! We were lucky enough to be around when a bunch of baby sea turtles hatched. The eggs were in a protected mini-conservatory, but when they hatch it's important to let them into the ocean right away. So they asked if we'd like to help, and we did! I got to hold a couple of them (I was not sure it was a great idea but I was very careful), and then we let them all go into the ocean. There must have been about 75 of them!

That's so cool ... I'm jealous.

That's amazing BigS

That's excellent BigS, good to see you.

My ex brother in law had about 160 screwdrivers but he could never find any of them and would always end up using a cutlery knife. Having screwdrivers is one thing, finding them another so I am a bit proprietorial over mine. I have had an account with a tool maufacturer for over 35 years

Tetra, I bought a Plastic covering for my son's mattress for bed wetting but I think it would be good for anything on the mattress too. The mattress slides in and you zip it shut along the side. It's not expensive. I think i paid ten dollars. I don't know the translation into Euros but shouldn't be too costly. That may give you some peace of mind and then just launder your bedding in hot water.

It's hot here and I've got little kids over to play with my kids. I want to go to the pool again but not sure we'll be able. I think it's the thrill of being able to swim when usually the pool is supposed to be closed that makes it so appealing. Although, it's supposed to get to 85 on Wednesday. September stays hot and sunny here now. 80s all week with thunderstorms tuesday.

Since I can't go anywhere with kids I'm relaxing. And I'll go toss a load of laundry in the wash.

São, my son keeps taking my screwdrivers into his bedroom. Drives me crazy so I wholly understand your point of view

Why do you think Sears has them on sale near the Holidays?

I might as well admit it that I need structure on my days off...

I pretend that I really need no plans and all free time in order to decompress, but then I end up feeling kinda lonely and unproductive.

Yesterday I made no plans except lunch and dinner out. I didn't do anything else except lay around, and I felt off kilter.

Today I did the coffee in bed thing, 3 loads laundry, dishwasher load, cleaned out the fridge, took out lotsa garbage, online shopping for work pants, got gas, went to a Buddhist meditation meeting for people in recovery, had an enormous breakfast out, and napped for over an hour.

I just FEEL better like I have my ducks in a row. And it's not like any of this was taxing or difficult. It just flowed.

I'm going to take a lawn chair to my garden across the street and veg with my veggies and a book, soak in the sun.

After that maybe I will finally shower, and see about dinner.

This is way better for me than just "seeing what's up" and feeling poopy bc nothing got accomplished.

Ps cushy tushy is awesome!

Night all x

There is something quite pleasant about rubbing lotion all over oneself. Of course I do wish it was scented body lotion instead of this smelly stuff that stings but needs must
Thanks to all for all the advice and support x

If I don't have structure I sit on SR all day. Good thing I can multitask.

It's going to be a while. The six months she has is it.
