Hi, weekenders.

Had a long day and my dentist appointment wasn't such an easy breeze as Sao's.

My wisdom tooth is beyond repair and needs to be removed. Let alone financial side, the tooth next to the wisdom tooth kind of leans on it and if the wisdom tooth is removed there is a certain risk that the next one will collapse. But I am at the point when there is no choice.

Oh, well.

Mesa - Boys, you say.... It reminded me of a saying "The only thing that tells men from kids is the price of toys".

Good night, weekenders)

Hiya folks

Leigh

Midnight, lol, I remember a saying ‘six foot six year olds’.

Have a good day, it’s cooler here today, phew. Great storms last night, loved it.

Morning all, happy hump day. Boy would I ever like to sleep in. I love early mornings but lately it's been difficult to get up.

I am now one month smoke-free.

Longest I have gone without smoking in years. Last night I really really really wanted to smoke. My ex-husband is being a jerk. Which I did not expect. It's a long story but it's about money. I thought we had an agreement about something, and he's saying I misunderstood him. That's BS, but I don't have much of a leg to stand on, legally. So I have to fork over a fairly large amount. I could try to fight it, but in the grand scheme of things it's probably not worth it. But I was livid, and just wanted to go get a pack and sit on my deck and anger smoke for a couple of hours. I got ice cream instead and vented to a couple of friends who understand the whole situation and are on my side. It helped but I'm still going to be angry for a while. Eventually I will have to let go of the worst of the resentment and move on, for my own serenity. Sobriety has taught me some important lessons, acceptance and moving past resentments being high on the list.

yeah, and wishing ex-husbands well at all times is more than difficult. Ask me how I know. :-|

Congrats on making it past that desire to smoke! Ice cream saves the day again.

I'll never be able to wish him well at all times, not after this. Maybe some of the time. But maybe I can forget about him mostly. That would be ok.

Good to see you Leigh, you too bim.

Congratulations on the last 4 years PhoenixJ, you have been inspirational.

Sorry about your ex MLD. Money grabbers get everyone down.

MLD good stuff on one month smoke free, especially under the stressful situation you had with the ex.

Hi, weekenders.

Phoenix - Congrats on your four years of re-birth!

MLD - Exes...Good job on not picking up the smoke.

I am in a blah mood. Still can't find that chord inside me to resonate me back into being emotionally alive.

Enough of whining for today, time to go to bed.

Have a good one, weekenders.

Shrimp Ceasar with avocado for dinner and a nice fresh peach, mango, strawberry and Greek yogurt with walnuts and cheesecake pudding powder mixed in for dessert.

Life is good for me today. I did some outside cleaning and did one of those pay it forward good deeds today.

My kitty and I are ready to watch a little Netflix and chill.

See you all on the new thread...is it tomorrow? I think it's tomorrow - Thursday is the day, right?

Night Weekenders.

Hiya Weekenders

I had an horrible dream last that I was marrying my ex husband again. In fact it was a nightmare while I was sympathising with MLD and her situation with her ex, it manifested in my dream but all confusing as dreams can be. Phew I’m glad it was just a dream and I hope you have no more requests from the ex MLD.

Bim, yes the new thread is in about three hours from now. Usually just gone midnight in USA and evening time in Australia.
