Great pictures Rags. You were missed.

Home from antenatal class! I now know how to swaddle my baby!

Hope no-one minds me sharing this here. I know a few know it, but some of you might find this useful, even as a reminder. It applies to blokes too.

Morning Mussy and doodyheads everywhere,

Got a work forum to attend this morning. Should be interesting, should be chick's, but i'm really looking forward to the food! hehe.

A cold and drizzly one here this morn, and that's SO okay..........why? Well, because most (often falsely percieved) daily embuggerance' pales, pales i say in comparison with the bliss and magic feeling of well being, peace, and sense of 'i can do anything' that sober living delivers.

'Yo fruity! Where's my freakin bagel?!'

Howdy!!!!

Missy - I was going to say something about the chicken and the road but I couldn't log on!!! I was even shoutin' at the screen.

Hey Sunny - I won't wish you happy hump day 'cos I'm guessing you're feeling everyday is a hump day. AND, what a beautiful hump you have!!!!! The excitement sure is building.

Glad to see Mr G will NOT go hungry this morning. Gorgeous morning here and Mr G is spot on - NOTHING beats the feeling of living a sober life.....soooooo good!!

Hugs to everyone and have a wonderful day!!!

Hugs, Nicey.

Morning Undies and Sundies,

So I have five (5) cats and I've got mice. What's that all about?

Might have to cover up all my Buddha statues for a bit.

That is all until I have something more riveting to report.

I may be a while ...

Morning Y'all.
Beauty of a day. I think it is a book day.

Thanks for that nicey.

I was all excited about my egg sanger I was going to make for brekky, since I ate dinner at 4 on account of my heartburn. Then I woke up not even hungry. I'm thinking maybe a salad later instead with eggs in it. Could be good.

Gord.
Does anyone just find themselves overwhelmed sometimes?
Even if the workload is strictly speaking manageable?
Must be a hangover from the nursing background. Everything has to be done done done just in case there is a medical emergency on the ward.
I remember a post of KTAB's ages ago making the point that if you keep your life bang up to date it decreases the chances of becoming overwhelmed as when you let things slide.
Anyway, I'm just pratting on now. If I'd done the bloody assessment last week as planned I wouldn't be having this conversation with myself!!!!!

Your asking ME that? I'm always chasing my tail. Wishing and hoping just doesnt cut it. Like giving up the piss. You have to have a PLAN...speaking of which 12 minutes before log off time....how organised is that??

Missy, I was thinking about recipes and I'm like you - have a few ingredients and google search. But I still love to cosy up with a few cookbooks and magazines and pick through them. Mentally eating each page. And then planning. And cooking. And eating.

I'd like a job doing that actually. THEN I'd be organised.
