Good morning folks.

I feel better today, not 100%, but an improvement on yesterday.

I managed to sleep on stuff and then on waking up this morning removing myself from the situation metaphorically and thinking of the bigger picture to realise there was really nothing to get worked up about.

A pleasant Monday to you all.

Good day, weekenders.

Feeling somewhat better, but still quite crappy, had a high fever last night again.

The Doc's appointment is on Wednesday.

Lots of weekenders seem to have a lot of tough life stuff to work through going on. Hold on, friends.

See you)

Getting ready for work, and I'm just not feeling it today.

Chuckling at the beautiful rug under the power saw! Now that's a guy who loves his tools!

MB, I hope you recover from your fever. Rough way to start a work week (and work weeks are rough anyway!).

Wishing you all a sober Monday!

Dragon, I love your table saw; well done. PJ, I, too, noticed the rug right away; makes for a very fancy garage!

MidnightBlue, I am sorry to hear that you still have a fever; how is your throat and cough? I am glad that you are a day ahead of. OST of us as Wednesday seems far away. Please be good to yourself.

MantaLady, hope the new job prospect works out. Keep us posted.

zoey, hope that works goes well.

Willow, congrats on 8 months and Dao on 4 years ; so pleased for both of you.

Another sober weekend under our belts,

A very happy Monday/Tuesday to all.

Thanks Leigh
Hi everyone

I just wanted to share this song that’s helped me out over the last 4 months while I’ve been trying to maintain my sobriety since Mum and Dad passed. I’ve not been particularly religious during my life, but my Mum was, and when I lost her and Dad, I felt I would drown in my grief. I wanted to drown my pain in alcohol, but I knew (and I still know) that would disappoint them so much, and wouldn’t serve me at all.

So while I felt like I was drowning (and I still do at times) this song has been a lifeline, every time it comes on in my car radio. I was listening to the radio station Mum listened to (Live fm) when I was driving her car after she left this earth, and I heard this song for the first time. It was like my own personal lifeline and I feel it has helped restore my connection to something bigger than myself (God) and through that, to my Mum and Dad ❤️

It’s 10pm, in the hotel on the river Thames and looking forward to sleep. My train was an hour late this morning as we got stopped outside kings cross because an earlier train had hit someone, I forgot my purse and cash card so has no money (lucky I have Apple Pay on my phone so managed to get round that so far, went to get a sandwich at lunch and couldn’t get back in the work building as my pass stopped working which resulted in having to trapse round London to different offices to get it sorted, last night one of my toenails totally fell off lol so walking in heels today has been really painful.....think you get the picture haha!

Sleep tight people, much love and be good! x

It’s great that you can maintain calm and humour in such challenging situations Manta! Cultivating equanimity that’s my goal sleep well!

Hope you get a good night sleep and have a better day tomorrow. With some luck, maybe your train will get you home early.
