Hello all-- I am so sorry for neglecting you, my friends-- without you none of the milestones of late would have happened and that is 100% true. Of course the weight milestone was reached then I got sicked and gained a bunch back but I am back on the horse with it-- did a Zumba class and am checking out a place really close by that has all the weights and machines and is doing a 15 dollar month to month-- so that I will not bag exercising when it gets cold or rainy as it invariably will. Plus just good to see other people-- my isolation lead to alot of my drinking and so I am trying to avoid it.
Rubes-- thanks for the words on us being good parents--we try-- but don't we all? We just got incredibly lucky as well. I am so glad that now that my son is at an age where he can remember more things that I will be here for him at all times-- even if I am sick it will not be something I have done to myself like I was with drinking. What in the heck is going on with your teeth?? Are you getting diamond encrusted gold ones like Lil Wayne? (hee). Ther eis no dentist alive I would pay that money to unless he could also implant eternal life (and eternal 30s ) in me!
Mama-- I believe in you-- you just keep on going-- I never thought I could go 30 days and I am trying to just keep going. I am pretty sure there will never be a day when I could go back to drinking even a little though I am sure I will think of it from time to time. The anxiety I was feeling from just 2 drinks was ridiculous. Plus I have to get this weight gone before I go into menopause!
Fen--love tick hollow- hop things are well with your mom.
Mish--lloved the lizard phrase-- I thought when I first read it there had to be more to it than drinking AL because of the way you tossed it out with no additional comments. That and I could not imagine how a lizard would be associatred with drinking booze but then again-- not sure how a skunk is either...
Vicki-- That is great news about your daughter. I know you will have a great time with Rubes in the cabin-- the area where it is is gorgeous. The airport can be confusing -- but the last time I was there it was like a freaking mall -- all these good shops and restaurants. Jay Z is even opening a 40/40 club there --not that I would go to it-- but there are not alot of those-- I bet people will come to the airport to go there without flying out if they can!
Georgie--Antidepressants are too frustrating aren't they? You try one and it takes a while to see if it works then have to get that out of the system before you cna ry others. The one that worked best for me was paxil-- I never slept before so I did not notice it-- for me, I lost weight-- but lots gain on it. Loads of them seem to have that side effect. Pristiq is a newer one that can work both on depression and obsessive thoughts-- sort of has an antianxiety component to it without being a benzo which can work on anxiety of course but can be addictive and just really numbing (not that it is not fun to take while taking it-- hee)
To anyone I missed-- so sorry. I am just beat-- Thursdays are my volunteer days-- basically all day not just in blocks. We are going to Nashville to see my sister tomorrow after school-- I need to pack up everyone and get organized for it. Probably won't be able to check in this weekend but will try to before we leave tomorrow. have a good evening!
