It's okay, Nora. You'll get back on the horse, I know. We're here for you.

Oh, Mama, you must really be sick! What do you think it is? Cold, flu? I hope you're better soon. Hubs is cleaning? What's that look like? :huh: Did you have to ask him, or did he see it?

Sunbeam, I always liked the bubble gum girl, and, yes, she does make me feel good. I went AWOL for awhile, and when I returned, I was low and went with the lonely bird first, and then the landscape. I'm feeling positive, so we're both back.

Also, my nephew went to UNC, plus I've always loved ACC ball, so either Carolina or Duke is fine with me.

Uh-oh, I think Miami's going to win. That's fine. UNC's certainly had its times in the sun.

Have a peaceful Sunday everyone.

I went to the doctor and have a bad cold....just told me to get Mucinex and stay hydrated.
Nora - time to get back in the swing of things girl. I know how hard this has been for you.
I am going to make some soup and try to sleep. I have to be at work early for the muckety mucks, but I am going home after that. I have not felt this bad in a long time

Nora, it is good to have you back, and I think it is good that you are posting here only when you have not been drinking, like a reward to yourself for not drinking. You have made great progress, and are going through a very hard time.

I slept great on it, Pauly. I'm going to start taking 1/2 the dose tomorrow, and see what happens. Fortunately, the depression lifts quickly when I stop it, so it's not a life sentence. Give it a try, why don't you? It may not bother you one iota.

Mama, So sorry you're so sick. Do you have to go to work tomorrow?

Watching Worst Cooks in America. Did anyone teach this people anything?????? Parental travesty, IMO.

Welcome home Nora - I'm glad you got back safely. :l

Mama I'm so sorry you're sick Try and take acre of yourself.

Juja - I'm glad the bubble gum girl is still around. I hope a reduced dosage will work for you. At least now you know what to expect this time and you can stop or ease off once the symptoms start. Good luck!

I had some massive triggers yesterday, including the car breaking down and a few other things going wrong but I managed to talk my way through them without letting the tantrummy toddler have its way. It's funny, my absolute first thought when the car wouldn't start wasn't to call the breakdown service. It was "that's it! I'm having a drink when I get home". How stupid is that? Especially when it meant I would be having a drink to solve the problem after the problem had been solved. :H Anyway I have another day under my belt.

Have a good one folks. xx

Good job on controlling the lizard brain!

Mama, any better today?

Nora, are you going to work today?

FT, what are you up to? Going anywhere?

Anyone seen nurdl lately?

Morning Sunbeam, Flyaway, K-9, pauly, and anyone else popping in.

Snowy and icy this morning, consequently, I'm not going to see Mom today. Call me chicken, but I'm not risking it. She has plenty of help there, but they don't attend to her demanding perfection as I was so perfectly trained. Her standards are ingrained in my brain. :H

Hi All!

Nora - We love you :l Get back up and start over. I'm still working on the ciggies...I quit AGAIN (yes, again!!!) yesterday. ONE of these quits has just GOT to stick...right? Never quit quitting!

Mama - Ok, how did you pass your cold to me through the computer? I woke up Saturday with a horrible head cold. I spent both days in bed. Didn't go to the gym. Had Burger King for dinner last night. So I blew it big time...but it happens. I feel better today and I hope you do too!!!

Juja - This is belated, but please accept this: :l:l:l

Mama, you are such a trooper. I'm glad you had a good meeting at work, your job doesn't seem to give you many positives.

Juja, the weather is yucky here. I had to traverse some significant hills this afternoon, but made it home before it got too bad.

I got a 99 cent relaxation app at Amazon that has really helped me sleep the past couple of nights. It is called Deep Sleep Aid by Prajnu.

I ordered a CD from Amazon called "Quit Smoking/Healthy Living"...I will listen to it tonight. I've tried EVERYTHING to quit this freakin' demon once and for all...well OK, I haven't tried meds, but I'm hoping not to. We'll see how my latest idea works out.

Mama - Hope you're feeling better tonight! I will finally be getting back to the gym after work. I actually miss it now! LOL

K-9, quitting will eventually stick. Never, ever give up!

What's with all the sickness this winter??? Will it ever stop? Mama and K, I hope you both are well soon.

Glad you made it home safely, Sun. I'm sure you're used to driving in ice and snow, and are pretty darn good at it.

Mama and FT, do you ever get tired of perfect weather in FL? Miami, FT--what will you do while you're there?

Great love and a huge hug to our dear Nora.

Started the 1/2 dose of Campral today, and I'm already sinking. I cried at the end of A River Runs through It tonight. I'd seen the movie twice before and never cried. Crapola. I might not be able to do this. I don't know if that SE will pass or not. I guess I should go on the meds thread and ask.
