23 c up here in the north SW .

I hope everyone who needs to is setting themselves up for a successful sober Friday ..
That friday drinking feeling will come skulking round so ensuring there is some forethought in what to do and how to react to it will strengthen ones position .

Sometimes it's not a bed of roses at the beginning of the journey but all you got to do is get through . Things change and grow with time , your sobriety will if you let it
Stay steady ,

Thank you, Ken, for being a good friend to our community. This place means a great deal to me, as I know it does to many.

My watch is telling me to stand up and move around. Guess I have been driving this desk for a few hours. Drafting pleadings can be mind numbing.

I am chasing my tail today at work. Cannot get caught up, cannot see a way to ever get caught up.

I'm not tracking too well on work either today. Just knowing at the back of my mind that the weekenders thread is out there is a distraction. Plus, I'm reading documents again. Always a fun time. Not as fun as the time U75 is having though.

Trees, living dangerously again, eating those crackers in bed! I hope you got some sleep.

Back to not looking a the computer except to work.

Clients. Ugh.

I'm off to hobnob with a bunch of lawyers for marketing. Usually a fair amount of drinking at these things, but I'm not too worried. Gotta drive home after.

Your not going to believe this

I was KIDNAPPED BY ALIENS!

What are the chances of that happening?

Awfully nice people, they didn't talk much (telepathy) They were looking for intelligent life forms so they let me go as soon as they found out I wasn't one

I hope everyone is doing well. Ken I respect your decision but i hope you will change your mind, maybe after a break. Your OP's are part of the DNA of Weekenders

Welcome to the Weekenders thread HappyBean (good name btw)

Good to be back!

It all makes sense to me, Sao. Remember when I told the story about the town next to mine where, after many UFO sightings in the '70s, they were trying to raise funds for a UFO landing strip.
