Can you recall how getting through one day sober seemed an insurmountable task? https://i.postimg.cc/Zn8Z7wQ6/185786...-E3775-A62.jpg Along with the safeguards outlined for us...stay indoors....wash our hands..properly.... What about our mental wellbeing? https://i.postimg.cc/q75tFcLq/7-E5-D...A66-F05-F6.jpg Our Addictive Voice (AV) will ramp up....attack if it can, at any doubts and worries may have. Looking after our mental fitness and wellbeing will help us prepare and be..... Fit For The Future. https://i.postimg.cc/Gm2v3Q01/344445...5-D9-FF3-B.jpg If this is your first weekend sober, or many, come join us for support and chat...as we know the weekends can be a struggle sometimes. (Psst. We’re here all week too!) :)

Coldfusion - have always loved that Steve Winwood song, so exhilarating - thank you :tyou Della1968 - I have similar thoughts, I suspect many of us may re-define what is of true worth. |
For you UKers who are looking for in depth modelling for covid from a fellow UKer, this model is really technical and lengthy...I couldn't read it, but in case anyone is really interested in a deep dive. It IS two weeks old. https://www.imperial.ac.uk/media/imp...16-03-2020.pdf |
. Greetings Fellow Isolators ~ And, thanks, Mags, for the very germane OP. It sounds as if everyone is *kinda* getting the hang of this New {Sur]Reality, and making adjustments. I take my cues from MesaDog below. He gets it. After some high Clouds and a slight chance of sputtering Rain today, the next Week around here is gonna look pretty much like the Pic below. 70 F [21 C] degrees in Sun sans any Precip. Bitchen! I received, and installed, our new retrofit Bidet Toilet Set. Easy peasy. Once I wire in a new GFI Power Outlet for it - and ditch the temporary Extension Cord - that TP-saving Project will be done. I think I'm gonna line up Tools for adding that Power Outlet by the Toilet another Day, and cut over this Afternoon making us some Masks outta Vacuum Cleaner Bags. Gotta up my Protection Game for ~weekly Trips down to The Hot Zone in Town. The tidy, binary Step I've settled on - for Serenity and Mental Health - is to relax our assorted precautions 1 Month after receiving a tested, known-effective COVID-19 Vaccination *whenever*. For me, this decisive Step nips in the proverbial Bud the assorted swirling Midnight Scenarios in my Head. MesaMate is now 5 Weeks past Shoulder Surgery, and Home Rehab is going well. She whipped up some Prosciutto-stuffed Baked Onions last Night from a 30+ Year-old Recipe Book she found. She just finished a Phone Video-based Mat Exercise Session arranged by her usual Pilates Instructor, so we plod along while adapting. I remembered I had an unused Cellphone Clamp for a Camera Tripod, and broke out that Gear just before the Session. A steady Cellphone nearby to watch the Workout made Life much easier for her. Once MesaMate and MesaDog are back to full Health, I can reach out more to safely help others as external things get really unsettled. These 2 Songsmiths reportedly never met IRL; they collaborated via the InterWebz for this reworking of a Queen Song with a pertinent message... ~ 'Coronavirus Rhapsody' ~ Grimes & Bein ~ https://i.postimg.cc/VNKr8jFB/Boz-On-Patio.jpg |

Maybe penne would be good with butter and cinnamon and sugar :c024:....I have plenty of pasta. I'm in this weekend too. I'm into my second month sober and I'm just finding myself relieved mostly. It's hard work living a disaster of a life, which drinking always manages to make. This is a stressful and sad time, but it has pushed me into trying to get healthier and fitter, and not blindly take for granted physical and mental health. |
When I was newly sober, I had no money at all. And I had to make do. I remember eating pasta with some butter (salt in the cooking phase)....and I was very grateful. :) xx |

Hi, Venus! You are serious about stocking up for prolonged isolation) Speaking of which, in my part of the world it's extended till April 30 as of now. Off to bed. See you tomorrow. Stay safe! PS You do not want to know what they are charging for TP online.....it is exorbitant. |
Thanks Mags :) Great to read everyone’s posts:) Count me in for the weekend! |
When I run out of TP ( not anytime soon) I’ll be willing to pay exorbitant prices, as long as it’s absortitant. :D |

The lockdown won't last forever, we just have to endure staying in for a bit. |
Morning Weekenders, I hope everyone is staying well. There was a nationwide "Clap for Carers" across Britain at least pm last night which was good to experience. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc...mp/uk-52140383 |
That's a touching video, Sao. For some reason the link didn't work so I googled it. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-52140383 |

Morning Weekenders Mesa, lovely pic of MesaDog, he’s got the right attitude! :) I’m never sure of the day Vinny. I bought Mr. Mags a clock that displays the day, time and date. I just need something to remind him to look at it! :) Suze... thanks xx Gone dark here, I think it’s going to rain..... It’s a shame it can’t wash the virus away. :dunno: See you later. xx |
Excellent opening Mags. Well put. We are all experts in taking things one day at a time. Maybe we have a few useful tools in our tool box after all. Count me in ! |
