    One Step at a Time - March 2013

    Hi Fly - good to see you.

    It's been quiet here lately. Guess I better come back & get things hopping. :H

    Yeah - where is K9???

    Well - guess I'm too tired to get this place hopping tonight. Hope everyone is doing well...........:h

      Hi Nora , you sound strong and a bit more settled. Been thinking of you a lot lately.

      I'll make a deal with you: you take Matt (14) and I'll take your 20 year old (I know I know his name- brain burp )

      I already tried to pawn him off on Birdie this morning but no go...

        Sorry, I meant to direct that for you Mama! I really am in a gigantic brain fog today. Hubs left me here alone with three kids for three days :upset:

        Hugs to your son though Nora :l

          Kradle - 3 kids - 3 days!!!!! EEEEEEKKKKKKKKK EEEEEEKKKKKKKKKK:H

          Seriously though - thank you for the supportive thoughts. I definitely can feel it. I am doing ok. ...doing what needs to be done. I miss him so much but he is in a better place. You all will have to pick me up off the floor again when I have to go home though. :upset: It's going to be so hard to leave Mom and leave Dave knowing that he has to take care of it all by himself.

            morning
            Kradle...I am seriously considering your offer
            I have to go wake him up in a minute for my ride to work (van in shop) and I have sworn a vow of silence.
            After the day I had yesterday, I do not need to show up angry and upset. I am going to take a lunch break, which I never do, and I am going to try to find a way to make my day calmer.
            anyhoo.....Nora, when do you leave????
            I guess with Scott to take care of, it would be too much for your Mom to comehome with you?? PLus, it would probably traumatize her. Besides, you have enough on your plate.
            off to shower and to start a GOOD day......
            love and hugs!!
            I love my family more than alcohol.:h

              Hi friends,
              It was showery this morning, and I got a little wet during my morning bike ride, but I didn't melt. The property where we are staying has bikes available, old ones with coaster brakes and just one gear. They ride OK since everything is flat, so I decided not to waste money on renting a real bike. They have 30 miles of off-road paved bike paths on this island, so I am in heaven. Two thirds of the island is protected conservation area, so it is not as built up as other areas of Florida. There is also a height limit of four stories, so the buildings aren't taller than the trees. It is all just lovely.

              You all sound good, going through regular life like I will be next week. Take care!
              My life is better without alcohol, since 9/1/12. My sobriety tool is the list at permalink 236 on the toolbox thread under monthly abstinance.

                Hi Everyone!

                YES I am alive and well. lol I was just explaining in the Nest that I've been AWOL for a few days because I'm totally focused (some would say obsessed) on losing weight, exercising and eating healthy. It's become all consuming. Of course that shouldn't stop me from logging on at work, now should it? I've actually been busy there too...but I promise not to disappear too often!

                Mama - ALL 20 year old boys are self absorbed. As you know, my nephew lives with me (19 almost 20) and everything is about HIM. I swear, he would NEVER dream of doing anything to be the least bit helpful. This morning I was looking in my boot closet (yes I have so many they have their own closet...thanks Goodwill! LOL) and I find his old sheets thrown in there...seriously??? I also have bottled water delivered once a month...he would CLIMB over the bottles on the porch instead of bringing them in. And lets not start on how much he will SHOVE into the trash can instead of just taking it out. OH...and the real kicker is he CANNOT fathom locking the front door at night. This kid thinks he can survive in the "real world"??? NOT. Ok...now my rant is over. LOL

                Nora, Sun, Kradle, Fly, Juja and everyone else...I hope you have a great day. It's a rainy one here (finally)
                :heart:I love my daughter more than alcohol:heart:

                Believe in yourself. You are stronger than you think.

                  Thanks Niner.
                  Gtrant is a good kid...but he has a vicious mean streak and can be so hurtful....and he saves it for me.
                  everyone sounds good...slammed as usual...so back to work

                      Hi all,
                      Heading home tomorrow, can't wait,
                      AF with a few speed bumps during 2014 & 2015 but will succeed.
                      As of 4/12/2014 I have not smoked at all and feel great.

                        Hey all.....not much to report here. Saw the lawyer about the Living Trust. Going to have to make an ammendment or something like that. Expensive but has to be done. Then had to go to the bank. My Aunt is still in ICU - still trying to stabilize her heart rate. They got over a liter of fluid from her lung yesterday.

                        Mama - bubble gut. :H Never heard that one before. I'm going to use it.

                        K9 - Hope your healthy living rubs off on me.

                        Sun - glad that you're having fun. Sounds wonderful.

                        Great big hugs to everyone. :h

                          Nora, These things must be done, but it's a trial, isn't it? Another one step at a time kind of thing.

                          K-9, You're killing me!:upset: I wish I had a gym nearby, but no such luck when you live in the sticks.

                          Mama, I'm going to use bubble gut, too. Sounds better than gurgling in my intestines.

                          We had 12+ inches of snow yesterday, and no power for about 9 hours. I kept the home fires burning, shoveled, etc. Hubs was a complete asshat, but of course, it was all my fault.

                          Took Tuesday off to spend with my father. Monday, the drs office told him to go to the hospital immediately via ambulance, but he refused. His edema is terrible, but he's in denial abot CHF. I've done all I can do.

                          It's been a helluva week. If I'm repeating myself, forgive me.

                          Campral came, and will start it over the weekend. I'm waiting til then because of possilbe SE. If it makes me gain more weight, I'm not taking it, and will consider going off Lexapro, as well. I may be contacting one of you to find out where to get AB online.

                          Have a spendid day everyone. I'm sure I will. "Gratitude, Juja, gratitude."

                            Hi Kids! hehe

                            Mama - My sister and I always say Bubble Gut too...kinda gives you a bad visual though! lol I hope your family is getting better. We went through the sickeness a couple weeks ago and it was not fun! Even staying home got "old"...but now that I'm at work it doesn't sound so bad (there's just no pleasing me. lol)

                            Juja - Living in the sticks probably provides you with all kinds of exercise options...climbing up hills, jumping over haystacks, running from wildlife....that's much more exciting than a treadmill! LOL

                            Nora - You sound good and I am glad. I'm still thinking of you and your family and sending :l and prayers!

                            FT - Have a safe trip home! Nothing beats being at home in your own bed!

                            No working out tonight for me since we have Church on Thursday and don't get home until 9:30pm. I need to slow down anyway before I burn out! (As has happened MANY times before...)

                            Hope y'all have a great day!

                            Love,
                            K9
                            :heart:I love my daughter more than alcohol:heart:

                            Believe in yourself. You are stronger than you think.

                              Nora - I don't know what a living trust is, but I will goggle (yes, I said Goggle) it.....
                              You have been close to my heart. As we had our Sunday family dinner, I watched Pop battle with his Parkinson's and I know I will be going through the same thing in the future....:upset:
                              K9 - a "gym" for me would be a human with male parts and facial hair....that's the closest I get to Gym.
