The Journey is here...Get your ass in gear !

hello sweet family...
I am being EXTREMELY lazy....reading and sleeping....I have gotten all involved in a great book and have been a hermit all weekend.....I will be on the lookout for the new John Grisham book....
Nora...one fo the symptoms of depression is the inability to concentrate. I HATED that I could not focus or read.....thank heavens that has passed.
Panno...have you checked out Antabuse with your doc? I SWEAR that has made all the difference with me.
Ruby...your photos are beautiful....and i will go help you whomp Panno if need be.
Grate...glad u got a fence in. You think Papa would be too mad if I just brought a german shepard puppy home??? The boys and I have been scheming this for years, but are too scared.
hey Biz....glad things are picking up.
Took my boys to my new office yesteday....I was in sweats and a pony tail....needless to day they were a bit surprised to know I was their new boss....things were a bit sloppy and someone needs to learn how to vaccum, but nothing critical.
My family has decided they will be in the theatre room every Saturday watching football!!
Trapped....keep on trying sweetie. It took me 9 months to get serious.....and antabuse is what is helping me. After a few weeks you don't really even think about drinking....
Hi Sunni Bunni and Grateful
hey Rog......hope u r ok.....always giving us words of wisdom...
ok..gotta get off my lazy butt and go wash some clothes...
i love you all
Jan

I suppose I should go and do something. All I have done today is be on the phone with my brother (who is in UK at the moment), my mum (also in UK) my sister (in Abu Dhabi), and gone to the shops for groceries. Oh - and sit at the computer! And that dear friends is the sum total of what I have done today!! So I suppose I should go and do something!

Back later,

hugs, sun xx

I have had a nice long walk, done a wash of clothes, and dishes, started a roast hen, mopped my living room (took my meds once already! :H) listened to my MIL pour out her heart about her worries over son and ex, still waiting on Hubs. Is it bednight time yet??

Happy Sunday everyone! I'm feeling like a stranger here lately, don't know why. :scratchinhead: Does anybody love me? Panno, I hope you are feeling better. I HATE depression, but it does help to talk to others about how you feel and what is going on in your head. We are here for you. Ruby, I love what you said about depression. Topsy, I can so relate to being on meds that you don't want to take. My doctor has the attitude that I should just stay medicated and comfortable, :bonkers: but hey, I'm not dead yet and I want to enjoy my life! I can handle pain. It won't kill me. I take about half of what all I am prescribed. Roger, I know how tough it was to clean on uncle's room! Has he scheduled his surgery yet? What about Sue? Has her surgery been scheduled? I am praying for you guys! Time, what a tragic story about a young life taken all because of alcohol! Why don't people realize that alcohol is poison and can and will kill you! Nora, hope you are feeling better today. Sunshine, atleast you can remember the posts! :nutso: Sometimes, I can't even remember the last 5 minutes of my life! Grateful, I missed talking with you, too. :kissyface: I know you got a lot going on. Is everyone about to get settled? YES, you do need a day to yourself! So glad you got your doggie fence! Biz, glad you got a lot of work coming your way. Sorry about your son. Mine thinks he knows everything and I continue to pray for him. Remember the promise in proverbs 22:6 "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." Sheri, thanks for referring to those posts. I enjoyed reading them. MB, the video was hilarious! I am so excited about your new job tomorrow. Good luck! I'm so proud of you finding something that helps you stay off the alcohol. We came to this site about the same time and I feel very close to you. Ruby, going to look for that "first time" posts right now. I love you guys! Please don't think I think I know everything because I know nothing. I just try to help others, but sometimes I come on too strong and I am so sorry. Trapped, I hope you are doing good today! :heartsnflowers: I Love you all, Vicki

Vick, you're no stranger here, you're our sister, so that means I can take a switch to you when need! :H I don't know WHY I'm feeling so much better. I've been talking long walks with Tink and TMB, when so many days I never left the house. I've been organizing, planning, working (YES, taking my meds!) and the only things I've done differently are getting out to town more, which wears me out, and drinking the apple cidar vinegar. ?????? Whatever it is, I love it. I have let things go for years, because I've been so tired, run down, so many things, but now, I'm really looking at things in a new way, really feel like my life is on track for the first time in a long time. Dressing up, taking care of my appearance, it makes a difference, since being alone so much I've neglected it. But now, I do it for me, and feel good about it. No self-pity, not that I've ever really done it I don't think, or hope I've not. If I have, I'm sorry, it was unintentional. It feels good to be in control, though I know I have some tough months, depression wise, ahead, and I never want you to think I'm trying to say I have the answers to all our problems. We take each day, good and bad, and make them the best. Today has been OK, which is fine. I hope all of yours were even better. Living with constant pain has taught me to appreciate every little blessing, and not dwell on the bad stuff. Someone always always has something worse going on. Besides, this is MY life, and I love it, and my family, my home, and especially you, my friends!!

Vicki - how can you even THINK that you aren't loved?? Are your insecurities popping out today??? you know that we all love you!! I am glad that your pain has been bearable for you today. Have you been resting a little today? I do hope so.

ruby - isn't apple cider vinegar wonderful stuff? It cures so many things! When I was taking exams at college I practically lived on mars bars(I think here they are milky ways) and a drink of apple cider vinegar with water and honey - sometimes hot and sometimes cold but I existed on that for weeks!! It is incredible stuff.

Back to doing something.

Hugs, Sun xx
