Sunny>Will you take and post a few pictures of the shells you find? I'd love to see them.

I sure am one grouchy girl tonight. I'm not craving AL, I'm just cranky. I don't know what's wrong with me. I don't want to talk to anyone, see anyone, or have to be pleasant. I hope no one calls. I have everything to be grateful for, and here I am pissy, antsy, and being compulsive. Ugh.

Maybe I should get on eBay.... Bidding while bitchy. Wonder what that will cost me?

Sun - I am HORRIFIED at your extravagance!!!:H
Actually, I think it's really sweet that you have momentos of those you cared about. I have been collecting Swarosvski crystal animals for years, and each one means something. My oldest loved trains when he was little and I adore my little crystal choo choo train.
Juja...I get cranky usually due to stress. My friend and my doctor recommened Vit D and it kind of helps...sometimes I just need some down time. And I think crankiness is to be expected in the early days of sobreity. We are grieving and miss our best friend. Just remember this is a friend that will stab you in the back..ok? It could be hormonal too. But you have alot on your plate with yourt parents. I am glad they had a good day. Nora worries about her aging relatives, too.
Lordy, I was busy today. Met with man for coffee. We are just in the talking stages. His company is buying crap properties that have been taken over by the bank and fixing them up. That isn't so bad; it's just the riff raff that comes with the properties initially. I have turned my current property around, but it was hard work for two years. So I need to decide how hard I want to work. I am being told it will lead to a regional position supervising all their properties in Jacksonville. That would be nice. More money, less one on one confrontation with stupid people.
Anyhoo...just fed the gang baked salmon stuffed with spinach and seafood (pre-made), a fresh tomato, onion and green bell pepper salad and noodles. Yum
Clay is amazed at how sore he still is. His color is not right to me, either, but he looks better every day.
For some reason, I am going to watch "Valley of the Dolls" on Netflix. I remember what a shocker it was, but I will probably laugh at it now.
I am going to Orlando on biz tomorrow and will be baclk Wed if you don't see me. Just know I am a phone call away. Nora and K9 have my number.

oh...and I cleaned the pantry. It had gotten moderately infested with some type of flying thingy, so I threw a bunch of open stuff out, and scrubbed the floors
YAY me!

Is Clay's color off due to pain, you think? Poor thing. He's young, he'll heal quickly.

BTW, did you find an extra iron in the pantry for FT:H?

Couldn't tolerate my compulsive self anymore, and took a tranquilizer. I need to learn to meditate.

Finished a book about the Civil War tonight. Part of a sentence reminded me of where Nora and I are with our loved ones: "...they couldn't move forward, and they couldn't run away."

Sleep tight!

Sorry I've been scarce the past few days. I've had guests at my house since Saturday, and it looks like they're staying until Wednesday. I've been going nonstop from the time I get up in the morning until I go to bed at night. It's been rare for me to get any alone time and I need my alone time! But my guests are wonderful people, so it's okay. I'll just be glad to get back to "normal". I have to go to work tomorrow, so they're going to be on their own.

Hubby has been annoying the crap out of me with his drinking while we have company. Too hungover to get out of bed early, too drunk to help me do anything, etc. Not very happy with him, but I don't want to be a nag who starts preaching because I don't drink anymore. I've been biting my tongue.

Thank you Nora for acknowledging my milestone. The number of days stopped mattering to me a couple months ago, it's just my life now. But I guess it's good to take time to reflect back every once in a while and remember where we came from. I don't ever want to take this for granted.

I'm sorry I'm not going to do personal shout outs to you all tonight. My head is pounding and I want to go to sleep. But don't think I'm not thinking about you all. I love you guys. :l

OMG... you've been in the wars Niner. What's a Nutribullet (or should I ask)! Sounds like a blender.

I hope everyone's doing well! I haven't been able to keep up with the threads, just trying to catch up now... hope all are A-OK... x

Good morning all,

Iron in the pantry... LOL uh whats a pantry? ohh that weird closet... got it, you guys are funny.

I see a lot going on with all and it's great to see the support we all are ready to provide each other, it makes this all work.

Today is back to work day but working from home for the next few days and I always appreciate that.

Nutribullet? does that work better than a regular blender? I found this great app for my Iphone called Bikebrain that I set up before I go on my bike ride and it tracks my whole trip and gives me a report afterwards... pretty cool, its a GPS also showing my route, calorie burn (estimated) and miles, speed. I have been using this now for a few days.

Anyway...back to work and hope everyone has a great day.

Hi friends,
I worked today, have chorus rehearsal tonight. Came home and baked cookies because it is my turn to bring cookies to rehearsal, which will be quickly wolfed down during our break.

Juja, I will post photos of shells I pick up on Sanibel. I would be happy to send you anything you want, I don't have a collection. Is there anything specific I should look for?

Going to yoga class in a few...seems to be helping me sleep..I know this will take more than 3 days to get back in the sleeping groove....but this is progress for me

Pics will do fine. I don't know of any specific shell I'd want, but thank you. I just find them beautiful.

DB, Good job on Day 3!

Feel absolutely bushed. I'll be moving books, DVDs, books on CD in my sleep. What a day at ye olde library. We give out whatever tax forms the government sends us, too, and patrons ask us a mulitude questions like we're tax accountants. I was ready to scream, "WE'RE LIBRARIANS, DOING YOU A FAVOR, DIPSHITS! MOVE AWAY FROM THE DESK, AND GO TO H & R BLOCK!"

Hey all :h

Dottie - great job! You are doing great. I went to yoga tonight too. I did not want to go and had almost talked myself out of it. But, I forced myself and I'm glad I did.

Feeling really blah lately. Hoping that I wake up in a much better frame of mind. I spent some time today calculating when I could drink. :upset: But, I'm going to TTFP in the morning. I think that my problem is that I still can't say I'm done forever. Everyone that has made that decision seems so much happier. I don't know if happier is the right word......maybe just at peace with the decision. I don't know. Anyway, today I am sober. I'll take that. One Step at a Time. :h

I get you, Nora. I wonder if I get AB from my doctor, if I'll manipulate it so I can drink? I know me. That's not why I'm here, though, or what I want. Hmmm.....

I want to get to the point where I don't think about AL. I think that's the golden ring.
