Zen, I'm with you on the clearing out, I'm fab at the chucking but crap at the putting away again!!

Tigger had to be rescued from school, her ear is sore again. I think it might be an infection now, but it's been sore for weeks on and off, especially at night. Keeping her going with Calpol but she's not a happy bunny. I think it's the constant ache that's wearing her down a bit

The tattooist didn't like the line drawing so he asked me to photo a real cello and he would work something from that

Pignu - my 13 year old has alot of ear pain, but they found it to be from allergies. She takes some spray and when the pain is bad, Sudafed. No infection. The congestion in her sinuses causes the pressure/pain in her ears. So terrible to see them in pain. Breaks your heart! I had terrible ears as a kid - tubes put in, constant infections. Tons of scar tissue because of it. My first two had nothing but ear infections as babies. Tubes twice! As they got older (after age 7 or so), they stopped and it just became an allergy thing. Best of luck to your sweet child (and you!)

Babysitting sick 6 year old boy (grandson)who is vomiting all over the gaff.

Pingu my grandaughter aged 10 has had constant ear infections but seems to be getting better as GP prescribes antibiotics immediately. She has had surgery T'S and A's .Grommets etc so GP is aware. Hope Tigger gets some sleep tonight after falling asleep this afternoon.

Off to wash another set of bedlinen.

I'll knock her out with Calpol later... she is so tired as she was up half the night with ear pain

Morgan had problems, and it's not the first time we've been to a doctor with her, but it seems to be getting worse not better and it's almost a regular thing now, so I think they need to do something?

Tonsillectomy? Or are they reluctant to do it these days ?
Not up to scratch with that

It beats antibiotics all the time imho !

I think it's ears rather than tonsils although I had mine yanked out at 5 yrs of age...

Options evening now. These occasions are always tedious made worse by the fact that I have to do all the talking because my boy literally has nothing to say :-(

Arf.

Gotta head cold coming on. Fecking arf.

Limers - me head cold may be annoying, but that's a big bugger o' money shoite. Stay strong... we knows you will... still it is an arse.

Satzy - i think the longer we are sober, and as long as we gradually cultivate acceptance, and gratitude, then this sober life will and does become the norm. It does become who we are. We unwittingly embrace it. Indeed the alternative will one day probably seem so distant, alien, undesirable. (The thought of having a smoke physically makes me wanna boke and gag.) But for now, and perhaps even for the first year or two, it is very much about ODAT, or week by week.

Hi a'budy else :hallo: Orf to stick the heating up and do some study for tamara... bacinabit

So i suppose it is simply for me that I am doing this. Achully... I know it's simply for me - for health of body, mind, spirit soul what have you... But as you say Molls we don't know what tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow brings... I'm just new. Still cultivating my field of sobriety, as it were.

This sums up my quit too - so I struggle still with 'never again will I have an alcoholic drink ' There is no real incentivie like a threat to health or divorce etc. Sometimes I almost wish it was & the decision was out of my hands. As it is I see Mr S waiting for this 'phase' to blow over & I can start drinking again - normal like - not in the house - in the pub
Don't get me wrong I love this sober life and I am hoping that down the line a little more I will make that momentous decision just 'cos I can - but for now it's kinda not ODAT but week to week to see what is thrown at me. But feel I am getting stronger in different situations the longer it goes on.

Sorry for this long winded ME ME ME post - but sure it's some light reading for the Skiverville residents :H:H

Comments :welcomen a postcard ................

Sorry didn't reply before couldn't find a postcard big enough. I think this is where the word YET comes into play.

Way back when you started Satz, you were drinking a bottle of wine most nights. That was certainly a threat to you health it just hadn't manifested itself .........yet.

Then there was no one complaining about. I know you're daughter was concerned perhaps other people have mentioned it and you haven't 'heard' it ...............yet.

My lovely Jenz asked me if this was it, the definite I'm never going to drink again, defo, defo please say it is kind of conversation.
I'm afraid I had to tell her that I haven't come across a situation that I couldn't handle without a drink.............yet.
Luckily because we're very open about my drinking she could understand where I was coming from and knows now that I have support I can turn to before I even think about drinking.
