Morning all - just thought I would pop in and say hi. I am doing well. It's been kind of crazy here in the East Coast of the US. So many people have been devastated by the Hurricane. Many of my friends lost everything and my friends and family in NY still have no power, gas, food, nothing. They can't get out because the gas stations are closed, etc. It is getting a little better (not by much) but it is also turning very cold. The Red Cross and FEMA are doing their best, but they never had any idea that it would be this bad. So many memories at the Shore and other places have just been washed away. It is very depressing to be so helpless. We donated money to the Red Cross so hopefully it helps in some small way. Sometimes donating canned food, clothing, etc. ends up just sitting around and does not even make it to the affected areas.

Anyway, hope all of you are well and happy.

Love Waggy

Here!

So, my brother was suppose to do the NY Marathon tamara. Seemingly not anymore. Trying to work out if he already flew out there from the UK.

So, I have a wee confession....

I think it's a shame that he canny run the NY Marathon, especally if he's gone all the way out there (though as he works for AmEx, he can just go do some work instead in their offices at Ground Zero), though i believe the decision to cancel is a good one in light of Sandy's devastation. Anyway, my brother has this fun plan of doing the alphabet of marathons. So far he's done A (Austin); B (Brighton); C (Chicago); D (Dublin); I (Inverness) and V (Vancouver).

I, on the other hand, have only done one: I (Inverness)... and i would secretly like to beat the marathon alphabet before he does...Is it really evil of me to think "mwhahaha, that's one less marathon you've run little brother, I'll beat you yet!"????

I should be more kind. I feel i have these bad thoughts. Not very nice of me. Very Gollum...

Oh good. Thank you Molls... nothing wrong with a bit of sibling rivalry...

Up for it mrsa? My next one is either Barcelona (17th March ) or Brighton (April - on the proviso my brother gets me a ticket, already fully booked.)

Good day Molly? How's yours been Pingu?

Right, gonna grab some grub. Back shortly.

Firework displays tend to be at the weekends. Cant have fires here, healf n safety. Tigger scared of fire anyway. There's a big display just down the road but not near enough for them to hang out the window. I hate fireworks so I'm staying in and having a salty bath...don't ask why....

I'd a great day truth be told - today and yesterday. It's just brilliant having the energy back to do stuff. Didn't realise how bollixed I had been till now - dragging myself around I was --- don't forget peeps WATCH YOUR B12 levels!!!

Were ya bollixed cos you didn;t have your B's in ya?

I forgot to take my supps yesterday and Thursday and by 11am I'm fecking floored. Today was better, but still in a bit of a dwam. Trying to work out whether i need:

a) more sleep
b) additional sups
c) more food
d) different kinds of foods
e) more caffeine
f) less caffeine
g) new flatmates
h) a new flat
i) a new job
j) a holiday
k) sex
l) a girlfriend / wive / SO
m) all of the above in some way, shape or form.

But yeah, really notice the getting tired thing. What exactly does B12 give you Molly? Sounds like a some kind of military aircraft...

Oh wait, that's a B52.

Haha thx molls I'm fine I just can't think of an easier way to bathe new hole tha sit in a shallow salt bath, I've tried bowls and washing up bowls and all failed, so this time I just take the practical approach

I'm gonna watch strictly until the hoardes get back from the fireworks and the we are all having a Chinese take out..

The gittens don't seem bothered by all the racket

Rc that's a fab list....

My pick me up was a cello, but I guess out of your list I'd go for less caffeine, a holiday and .....um.. That's it really.

Seriously tho - yeah - I was so tired - the word 'tired' doesn't describe it - I was so shattered that even going up the stairs seemed like a big job. When I had it investigated - my B12 levels were practically nil - side effects - exhaustion, bewilderment, aches and pains in joints, tingling hands and feet, verging on dementia at times --- really feckin scary. Not even 4 weeks after starting horse doses I'm seriously so much better it's unbelieveable.
I did find my first 3-4 months sober tho that I was really tired - and that wasn't vitamin linked cos my levels were perfect back in Jan. I think the body takes a while to adjust to sober living - dunno the sciencey bit of that, but that's how I was anyhows I also found/find that without the alcohol I seem to want sugary foods - never ever ate sugar in any shape or form except alcohol back in the day - and I do find if I eat too much shite I still have a 'tired' day the next day.

Hmmm... good to hear.

Someone started a thread, or a post, about addictions... I have found myself in supermarkets as much as i was when i was drinking but instead of buying drink, buying anything that takes my fancy. I don't binge on sweets or shit food, but i do have it in the home... and i think more of it now than when i was drinking. Then, drink was the main thing, now i find any excuse to stock up the fridge.

"Oh dear, I've just opened that 6-litre family pack of Milk, better buy another carton..."

But yeah, I do have a sweet tooth that i think i keep in check.

Maybe i should eat more tatties...

Don't have them B12 side effects, so maybe it's just ma boady... pair thing.

Ken whit's fecking annoying though? There's a raging alkie at work and he's ALWAYS filled with the energy, and then ripping through the pints at 5pm... I appear so sluggish some days that it looks like I'VE been the one on the bender the night before!
