Cool and wet here too, Brain. I've been running around all day. I'm tired even though i slept in this morning. Woke up at 7:30 to try to get son in at doctor for medication check but was told at 8 that today is only for sick kids and he's not sick. So I slept until 9:50.
Now I'm baking a pumpkin pie. Then making meatloaf for dinner then cookies. I told the kids we'd bake. Because it's yucky out.
U75, I hope your daughter is OK. That's scary despite knowing the drill.
Time to get the pie out

Night SW, it is past my bedtime too so I am off to bed.
For anyone considering drinking tonight first "play the tape" and consider how it will end up and secondly, post here before you pick up.

hi all, not good when little ones are sick.
Asthma so scary, for everyone. Staying the course here. journalling, working it out.. trying to figure out the missing link between my beliefs and actions, as they don't line up.
I like to be thinner - Im eating chocolate cake
Id like to closer to my family - I never ring them
Id like to be sober - I can't get past 30 days this time around.
I've got a good resource though that is helping me so I feel like Im challenging my brain.

Since I've been back in North America I've found myself surrounded by a lot of people younger than me who naturally are in a drinking partying stage of their life. I don't mind at all, that is their life.
I was talking to a gal friend of mine today. She was talking about drinking before school. I laughed and said man, I have places to be, things to do. Life is way too short for that kind of thing. I explained all I wanted to get done in the next five years (learning languages, making money, getting new credentials, travelling, ect). She chuckled and said, well after those five years will you be too old and have peaked?
It just made me smile. What a silly thing to say. As long as I'm alive I won't be done growing.
Living life running from something is so different than running towards something.

Morning all. Just getting ready to take my daughter to her netball match. It starts 9.30 am UK time. I shudder at the panic I'd have been in 2 weeks ago. Breatalysing myself and badly hungover. Today I'll cheer her on like all the other mums. Grateful to be sober. Hope everyone else has nice things planned xxx
Sober since October

Hi, weekenders.
I am suffering from some kind of combination of existential crisis and information intoxication.
I can't read or watch anything. I've found some slow lounge music which doesn't irritate me to the point of screaming.
Since I am stuck at home with cold I've decided to use this time on my hands and pack books in boxes - I am sure when the time to move comes I will be very pressed for time.
I've realized I don't need at least half of the books, but have emotional attachment to them, and....it's books.... there is something special about them compared to all other stuff.
So, my question to you - how do you decide which books keep and which let go?
I'd appreciate all suggestions!
Have a great Sunday, all)
