    One Step at a Time - February 2013

    Yeah, FT is back! I am a homebody and I can't imagine having to travel for work. My commute is bad enough!

    Sorry you had a rough day Nora. But the happy news is that you're sober and it's the weekend! Hope you have a restful night and enjoy reading your book.

    Glass I guess it's my turn for the crazy weather now. How are you holding up? Are you getting strong cravings or is it not that bad?

    Mama I'm with you on the 5am start time! WTH is going on this week with everyone and their job? I think your friend is right about your boss. It's unfortunate that she doesn't view you as a resource and an ally.

    K9 sorry you've got a boss with issues too. You are going all out here, aren't you? No drinking, no smoking, and joining a gym! When you say your daughter wants to go at 5am, are you saying she wants to be at the gym at 5 or waking up then? And if she wants to be there at 5, what time will you have to wake up? :egad:

    Sunbeam I think you're fortunate to have a job you like. Not so crazy about my job, but it's not like I can quit. Too bad about your boss, but I can't think of a job I've ever had where I liked everyone! :H If spending $10 on Ebay is your only vice I'd say you're doing pretty well! :H

      Well, I made my big purchase: US Glass Co 8 1 2 inch Green Ruffled Bowl with 3 Feet Colorado | eBay

      Scroll down to see the larger photo of what I bought.

        That is really pretty! Looks like a candy dish my grandmother would have had.

          To be honest, I really wanted to have a drink today. But, I can't so I won't. Had a talk with my boss and I wish I could say screw it & leave. But, I can't so I won't. I had a few tears.....really wanted to sob but I didn't. So, that is that. Just taking it a step at a time. Not important in the grand scheme of things. What do they say.....ask yourself, if this is going to matter a year from now. Well, this is not going to matter. It is what it is.

          Have a wonderful weekend everyone. I plan on sleeping in.

            Sun - that's a really pretty glass bowl. I'm glad that you got it.

              Thanks Fly. I've had a few really bad ones but overall they've been pretty manageable as long as I'm careful and avoid the triggers. Day 10 tomorrow!

              This afternoon was probably the closest I've been. Not because the craving was the worst, but because somehow I've managed to lose a whole afternoon's work on the computer and I was so upset that having a drink (or ten) was my natural default position. :upset: Oh well, at least I won't have a hangover when I have to do it all again tomorrow!

              I hope the snow isn't too bad - look after yourself!

              Sunbeam, that's very pretty!

                    Wow, Day 10 already? Congratulations! Dealing with the crap life throws your way while staying sober is what this is all about. You've got to learn how to deal with this kind of thing without the booze, and that's just what you did. Good job!

                      The snow doesn't look bad at all for us. I haven't been out yet, just looked out the window. But we only got 2 or 3 inches. Yeah!

                          Hey Mama....how come you couldn't sleep? Are you cutting back on the sleeping pills?

                          I woke up this morning & checked in on my Kindle. There were all these threads from previous months showing at the top. I was still half asleep and trying to figure it out. Finally realized that we had been spammed. Looks like it all was removed. Shouldn't confuse me that way first thing in the morning. :H

                          Juja sends her love. She is not up to posting right now but just wanted to say hello.

                          Going to head to The Dollar Tree now. That's my kind of shopping.

                            Hi friends,
                            I was able to attend a church-related educational event today thanks to someone else driving us there. We only got about 5 inches of snow here, but we had to go to an area that got over a foot.

                            Mama, there is a ton of colorful glass out there, so you don't need to look out for any for me. I'm planning to have our livingroom bookcases re-done with real cabinetry instead of the current 40 year old painted plywood. I'm just looking for a few colorful pieces to intersperse with the books. Right now I have a few copper pieces, but they get tarnished and I have to polish them. Glass only needs to get washed off. Easier is better in my life.

                            Glass, it is great you have made it through 10 days. Keep on keeping on!

                              Nora, I love the dollar tree. It's hard to spend too much with everything for a dollar!

                                Nora, read your post about work and wanting to leave and can completely commiserate. I've had a really hard several weeks because it's my busy season, I don't have any employees - I do all the work myself and I've had some really bad clients. Your take on whether it will be an issue a year from now is great. Upward and onward as they say!

                                Haven't read back yet but wanted to say hello to Mama! Sunbeam, a few more weeks and we can all start getting our gardening hand dirty!
                                2023 - focus, getting it done, and living the way it should be and being the person I need to be.
