THE NEXT DAY THREAD, March

Evening all - thought I best report in lest you think I met with a dastardly demise. The fence is up! (more details tomorrow) Interestingly, I ambled across to talk to the strapping lads while they were having mornos. Hoping to engage in witty repartee, my attempts were met with mono-syllabic replies from the taller one with the excellent legs whilst the shorter one with the good strong back kept eating bananas. Four of them. Shoulda stayed in my hidey-hole and just perved quietly.

Tonight I'm zorsted, knackered, stuffed AND plesantly buggered. Life is good!

Off to the cot - promise to respond to all your goings-on tomorrow. Be well, my piss-head mates. *** add winking thingy to indicate I'm making a little joke here ***

Sh*t Reggie - is Otto still up that ladder? In the nuddy? Did ya get pics? Nighters.

quite amazing! Has been a bit interrupted for the last couple of weeks, but good in terms of getting me thinking about how I started down this path of drinking and what function it has played in my life ........

souvlaki sounds good Reg!

Forgot to say ... I think the marathon running is a brilliant idea for the potential meet-up. As long as you all hold hands while you're running and stop every 100m for a group hug.
GACK!
I'll be the one waiting for you at Doyle's, fanging on some fine seafood.

there are some things that have been useful to me in terms of tools. I've been in counselling before and not found it that great, but this woman is fab. There are 2 things that I have found really helpful: one was to commit to not drinking during the therapy process and the other to not label myself an alcoholic.

Whats your stars ...I only usually trust Athena "star woman" but stumbled across this one I like .....

THE WEEK AHEAD - YOUR ASTROLOGICAL HEADS-UP - Gemini


Saturday March 13 - Moon in Aquarius

Moon Meditation: "I listen to my inner tuition (intuition)…!"

The Moon in Aquarius goes over dreamy Neptune today - a sure sign that the time is right for forgetting about the stresses and strains of the working week and for taking time out to BE. Be what? Just be. That means not vegging in front of the telly, not having a few chardies to loosen you up, not staying indoors and doing housework. It means getting outside, getting some fresh air, doing some yoga or meditation. Gardening. Walking by the water. Doing something which makes you feel good to be alive. Then listen to what your inner voice is telling you.
Sunday March 14 - Moon into Pisces

Moon Meditation: "Use your Sunday well!…"

Sunday looks fairly cruise-y as the Moon moves through dreamy Pisces and makes a harmonious link to Pluto and then meet Mercury. Sundays are of course marvellous for lying around in recovery mode after the week that was but the skies today are excellent for catching up with friends, doing some deep thinking, talking to someone about your feelings, or for anything connected to dreams, yoga, music and meditation. Also a great day to while away in the movie theatre - but make sure it's not a violent movie!
Monday March 15 - Moon in Pisces

Moon Meditation: "Suddenly I just blurted it out!"

One of the most exciting links of the year takes place today as Mercury, the planet of the mind, meets Uranus, the planet of all things wild and unusual. If you have a bit of a brainwave today, thank the Stars. If you're having a discussion with someone and you come out with all kinds of amazingly inventive arguments, thanks the Stars again! Conversations will flow, brains will be moving quickly, it's all GO! Watch out if you're doing something a bit physically risky! There's a chance of sudden upsets!

Tuesday March 16 - Moon into Aries

Moon Meditation: "Try to cool down!…"

The Moon goes Void of Course for most of the day today which is probably a good thing after yesterday. If you said more than you should have or just basically shot from the lip in the past day or so, use the calmer vibe today to slow things down and to think about your best bet in terms of what to do next. It's not a great day to start anything for the first time - it's said what's started when the Moon is VOC " bears no fruit". However, if there's something you want to do once and move on from, schedule it for between 10am and 4.30pm today!

Wednesday March 17 - Moon in Aries

Moon Meditation: "Ouch! Yes! Oooh! Wow!…"

Ouch! Yes! Oooh! And Wow! are just a few of the outbursts you can expect to hear today as another of the most " exciting" links of the year takes place - this time, it's the Sun on Uranus. It happens once a year and in theory offers a very good chance to reverse something you did earlier and now regret. According to people who follow the stock market and the Stars, reversals are also expected in stocks and shares. It's certainly a day to be spontaneous and flexible.

Thursday March 18 - Moon in Aries

Moon Meditation: "Start me up! Slow me down!…"

It's a curious astro-fact that Aries is the speediest sign of the zodiac but it has the planet which puts the brakes on strongly affecting it right now. This means that every time a planet moves into Aries, it effectively acts a bit like a car revving its wheels in the sand, at least for the first few days. That's happening for communications planet Mercury right now. If you feel like you're talking but getting nowhere, save your breath today and over the next few days.

Friday March 19 - Moon into Taurus

Moon Meditation: "Don't obsess!…"

Oh dear. If you're anything like me and you have a tendency to obsess over STUFF you're going to have to work extra hard today and over the next few days not to lose your cool or to send yourself crazy with your thoughts. This warning reminds me of a phrase that New Age superstar Louise L. Hay loves to repeat: stop terrorising yourself with your thoughts. If you know you have a tendency, then stop yourself and instead use the energies to eradicate the scary thoughts (also very astrologically possible today).

Well its "Ouch! Yes! Oooh! And Wow! " for me have a lovely evening... Hi Chookious

Hello Peeps!

Have I missed you all again? Finally got son off to bed and now at a bit of a loss what to do. May carry on with my book but bed is looking far more attractive. Just too tired to concentrate.

Night all

I had a little guffaw at this. And I said 5K, not a Marathon, I have bad knees you know.

So are we serious about a meet-up then ?

Spam - I also had a chuckle at the 'ex-alkie' thing, not offended at all.

Missy B - I agree with you on the counselling, I had it for other 'issues', and it was definitely very beneficial. You have to be comfortable with the counsellor though, so if anyone else tries it, don't be worried about trying a different counsellor if you're not at ease.

As for the Ipod saga - sorry for too much information, but it was definitely the sweatiness inside my very sturdy sports bra that did for it. Am going to get a waterproof cover.

Have also been thinking about the music thing. There are a lot of negative associations for me with the instrument I was really good at (very long story), so I'm going to learn a new one. Wasn't that an easy solution?? All these self indulgent long posts are helping me if no one else

Nighters.

Bets.

THE NEXT DAY THREAD, March

Morning,
Wow! Seems we have some fair dinkum interest in a meet up. If it isn't bizzare enough already on this thread, let alone in 3D! :H

A beautiful, beewdiful morning here. Had a great gig last night, nearly lost me heart to a pretty young thang, and an invitation to weave some guitar magic today with a couple of visiting musician's.
Ah, the sober life. Very, very, difficult, NO, impossible, to imagine in the early day's of my af'ness, let alone when i was a drinkin'. But, we need to hang in there, and get some serious af time under our belt's, then the fun start's! The fun of realising....'Jesu Christou, is this fecker really me?! Did my emotional and other development pause when i started drinking heavily? Mmm, maybe, maybe not. Yep, that's it, i'm still a bit fragile dahling.....(true). Wow, a bit to learn then' etcetera, etcetera......And along with the re-familiarising us with us, and that can be a feckin strange one, what treasures unfold before us, every single bloody day.
It is absolutely amazing how door's open, when we are open, and we are true. True to ourselves, why we are here, and what we should be doing.
Some folk are fecked if they know what they should be doing, who they are, or why they're here, and that's a personal journey, but for those of us who know this, not taking that path is a crime really, an arrogant, disrespectful waste of our lives, and disrespectful to this incredible Universe, that gives us everything we need, if we respect ourselves first, then through this, other's.

Ah, the weather, the weather, malakas.
Yassou!

THE NEXT DAY THREAD, March

Good post G. I came across something from a school retreat (I went to a Catholic school) when I was cleaning some papers out at Xmas time. It had a lot of stuff about honouring your body, with all its faults and flaws,, and making the best of it as the only one that you were going to get. Of course, being a Catholic school they were basically euphemistically telling us not to have sex! but in retrospect the wider message wasn't such a bad thing to try to knock into the heads of teenage girls.

Im trying to send the kitten photos ..... not quite sure how to embed them in the message (as opposed to providing a link). Trying this will see what happens .....
