    February Undies and Friends

    Sorry will give a bit more insight to the last month.
    I LOVE my job. It doesn't feel so much like work, more like a bit of fun. I don't like the 50 hours a week I'm gone. Then coming home and taking Leon in my arms for the remainder of the day. My shifts also can range from a 6:30am start shift or a 12:30am finish when I start at 4pm. Too much at times, but I'm hanging in there.

    Leon is crawling around, but really he is ready to take off running. He is pulling himself up and pushing himself on his walker. He's a bundle of giggles and joy.
    Part of the reason I have not had time to log in is because Hubs back is quite bad and I am having to be full time maid, cook, mom, and job holder, as well as be mental support for hubs negative attitude due to his lack of capability to do everyday things because of his back.

    I have not had any AL even though I haven't checked in. I have been doing a lot reflecting though. My boss has just quit drinking. She was on the downward spiral and she wanted life changes. I see more and more people who don't drink, for a variety of reasons. Most of hubs friends don't drink, or will have one on the special occasion drink. My best friend here, and her husband are both in AA and don't drink.
    The other night I was skyping with my parents and they started to pick at each other. My dad has had some health scares lately, but will only mildly address them. My mom deals with the emotional baggage of his health scares and his refusal to take care of himself and overwork himself. Anyways, they had quite a few drinks and then were trying to talk about "their issues" (all 34 years of them.) I ended up doing the marriage counselor role and encouraged them to work things out the next day when they were sober and level headed. When we hung up I realized that alcohol has been involved in many of the issues between my parents in the last few decades. I wondered what kind of relationship they would have if alcohol didn't play a part in the poor communication, the ugly fights that happen over time, and the funny (not so much) name calling and rude comments during family time after a few to many. It reaffirmed for me that I don't want to have those types of issues in my marriage, and that since I've quit drinking I have a much better relationship with my husband. I also find in my reflection that AL in some ways will always seem romantic, familiar, and inviting, but the reality is none of those things once I've had it. Even now, I find I am still changing my attitude about drinking. Changing years of thinking and doing to become more positive. Not just with drinking, but with eating, with thinking about the future, just more positive in general. I appreciate all of you being here, and being part of my journey. Part of my life saver. Lots of love to you all. Hug your loved ones tight, and your pets, chase cats and howl at the moon.

    Haps, good on yea with the yoga.

        How wonderful to see posts from Sunny & Leon :l

        I have made note to find a new dream catcher for Bridge @ The Pinnacle Peak General Store (Native American owned).

        I hope the Frog is OK?

        I am very concerned about all of Happs neuvo natural health modalities. This recent picture of her sent to me from an anonymous source confirms my fear. Well here...

            Yes, aren't calories and fats from oil a concern?

                  Sunny, that was the most lovely and heartfelt post to log on to. I think you are right. We have a lot more control over our lives than we sometimes feel. We can control our thoughts, attitudes, most of our actions and decisions. There's always going to be non-sensical romantic thoughts about alcohol pop into our heads periodically, but I think we're all wising up to that lie. It's so good to hear from you and see the Leon update.

                  Purchased my organic coconut oil yesterday, so ready to start 'pulling' if you will. Not sure where to get the oregano oil. Will try health food.

                  The weekend seems to be picking up speed unexpectedly, with competing priorities. I'll be lucky to pull it all off. And here is me with Season 1 of Revenge sitting enticingly there ready for catch-up:H

                  .....and a heap of study to do......and a filthy dog hair ridden house.....

                  Thanks for your feedback re dreams guys. It's more of a problem than I would have ever imagined actually, because I lose a lot of sleep over it. Overactive mind sounds right Mr G.

                  Go get the most out of your day folks.

                    Arvo all

                    lovely day here, went to doctors on wednesday, have now to triple my dose of thyriod meds, also come of gluten, getting there, just takes longer when shopping, reading the ingredients in food, had blood tests done on thurs,will find out the results tomorrow, the itchieness i had has finally stopped,

                    Great to see you posting Sunny, and love the pic of Leon, that was a heartfelt post you posted earlier, in fact I had a wee tear in ma eye, as I came to the end of reading it

                    The yantra mat I ordered was delivered on Thurs, and honestly I think its fantastic, felt really relaxed after laying on it, and have been sleeping better, get up in the morning feeling more energized, now my daughter and and daughter in law are getting one.
                    really worth the investment of $50

                    I was searching the net about dreams Bridget,and any others having bad dreams,
                    here is a couple of sites I found

                      Lilly, that is such good news about the itchiness...let us know about the gluten free changes too? Will get onto the yantra mat now you've test driven it for us...test lay on it for us??

                      I reckon Mrs Google must have been in overdrive with the various Undies getting solutions for Bridge :H it just shows a lot about the drawer I think.

                      Sunny, finally had a chance to read your post properly. Just wanted to give you another one of these lovely girl :l

                      I am catching up with work, assignments and about to have a cook up in the kitchen. After yoga today, I did some Bird therapy and picked a few fleas off the cat...yes it was calming for me...not sure about the kitty though

                          Arvo Undies,

                          What a lovely bunch of posts to digest and as always Techie, your pics just crack me up.

                          Happs - sorry the boys had to go back to the farm but I guess it's for the best all round. I'm sure they'll be very happy there.

                          Sunny - so lovely to see you and the gorgeous Little Leon. I've missed him. I really hope you can erase that dream image from your mind...

                          And speaking of dreams, Bridge, I've been having a lot of trouble sleeping and find myself waking up in a state of extreme panic and can't work out why. So I assume I'm dreaming without resolving the dream and on waking up I can't recall it. Most frustrating sooo ...

                          Lilly - because you've road-tested the Yantra mat, I just found the $50 ones and have ordered a green one. So glad it's working for you and you're feeling better in general. Although an embuggerance, I think the gluten-free thing is doable, just a PITA.

                          Bugger. I just typed three long paragraphs explaining why I'm a bit flat but on reading back I thought I just sounded like a bloody whiney winger so I've splatted them. We've all got shit on our shovels and deal with it as best we can. So, no sooky lala crap from me. For today ...

                          MrG - always lovely to catch your positive vibe.

                          I wish I'd had the forethought to make some more of Grinder's Drizzle Cake because I rooly rooly want some now.

                              hi all
                              Have had a horrible Diet Pepsi addiction for the longest time, but now have 3 days off the shit and what a difference. Just hope I can continue, the cravings are worse than al:H...boiling eggs or the kids since that is the only way they will eat them, and the egg carton was full so...was laying out in my hammock trying to sleep yesterday when a large flock of sandhill cranes (very loud) flew over and had a long party around the neighborhood. Got out of hammock for a look and noticed a worm writhing on the ground, so turns out worm was being attacked by ant so I performed a rescue.....eggs done, later folks

                                So anyway, I think I am gonna try the oil. I usually lay around about 30 min before I get up so there is a good time..thought I might try yoga again too, there is a class this aft at the gym I think....Mr. G, a good jam is good for the soul, what a wonderful feeling. And good attitude on the job front...Happs, glad you enjoyed the flea picking...Bridge here is that book I read(I think). Looks like there are some websites on this stuff too...Lucid Dreaming: Stephen Laberge: 9780345420114: Amazon.com: Books to do laundry
