Morning Weekenders
Yeah, it’s going to take much renovating to get the Notre Dame back to its former self. I’ve never visited it sadly, but I recall it in the films Quasimodo?
I’m going to visit my step mum today in Cleethorpes and maybe have a quick walk barefoot on the beach.
Have a good sober day.

I'd love to be walking on the beach today. Enjoy Mags. We have a forecasted high of +15c today, nearly shorts weather! I bought a new canvas roof for my ol' steel frame gazebo & the snow is nearly gone from the back yard. Bring on the summer!
Sober since October

Morning, weekenders.
Had very little sleep tonight because I had a very tight deadline about my online gig.
Had a moment of panic that I am not going to make it in time.
Waiting for the client's feedback now.
I keep ditching Hell Maybe's calls because I am still Hell angry with him and I don't know what to say that won't sound too dramatic, or "girlfriendish-you spend too much with friends" kind of talks, and so on.
Not proud, but, oh well.
I agree about Notre Dame - shocking. I was lucky to see it when I was in Paris long time ago.
Need to get a couple hours of sleep.
See you.

Thank you, Mags.
Haven't had much success with sleep. Hopefully will fall asleep fast at night.
Finally talked with Hell Maybe and told everything that I had on my mind (in a well-thought and civil manner though). Not sure how he took it and feel a bit like a melodramatic idiot, but glad I did it otherwise it would just brew inside me.
No wonder starting new relationships is not recommended within the first year of sobriety 6 years and 6 months (oh, I missed this handsome mark on April 14!), and it's still damn emotionally hard.
Ok, boxing later.
See you.

Yes Vman, hoping you will check in soon.
Well done on making the deadline Midnight, and may you get some quality sleep tonight.
Manta, I hear you. I’ve had a couple of days like that myself.
I’ll be getting up early tomorrow, but thankfully not for work. For a change most things have been packed the night before. Tomorrow it’s off on a week’s vacation in Mother Nature, and I can hardly wait.

Have a super holiday Captain!!
Craving has passed thankfully. I really wanted to just say “f it” and get wasted for the night. Today has been frustrating and the type of day before that I would have drank away in the evening...and regretted it in the morning big time. Whilst I was hungry (thanks for the reminder mags!) that wasn’t the reason, I just didn’t like the way I was feeling and wanted an instant mood changer and a way to escape from it for a while. I am preying that the weather is better tomorrow morning so I can get out for a walk before breakfast and tonight I am going to do a meditation on insight timer when I get in bed. I gotta get my sobriety A game on lol.
Today I am grateful for the joy of seeing a little robin red breast bobbing about on the blackberry brambles at lunch, for the warm log fire I have going, for the fact I have food in the fridge, that I am not skint, for a compliment I received at work today from one of the ladies who said I had made her job so much easier as my work was always right and she didn’t have to spend time gathering information that was previously always missing. And last but not least I am grateful for all the Weekenders xx

Well done on resisting Manta. I’ve been having a few of those moments myself lately. I’m not sure if it’s the AV rebelling against the approach of 1 year, or just me trying to escape my unpleasant moods. Probably both...
I’m glad you’re getting some online work MB, that’s great.
I was saddened to hear about Notre Dame. Especially the timing coming up to Easter.
I have family visiting over Easter long weekend so it’s going to be very busy. I’ll try to pop in and say hi, but don’t worry if you don’t hear from me I may eat too much chocolate, but I won’t be drinking!

Seems that the irritable and discontents are hitting a few of us ladies this week.
Must be the moon.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
I was kind of rude to a survey taker at the zoo today. She did a bait-and-switch on her dumb survey and I told her I thought her questions were weird and then I didn't answer the whole last page. I was given the impression there were just five questions. Then she added another "few" then it was 30 more long questions. It was like five pages! Yeah, NO. Heh. I felt like I had been telemarketed.
Good for you MB, for telling HM about your feels. Always best to keep the slate clean.
Night all. No drinking for me, or Manta, or Willow.
That's all that matters.
