Good marnin'! :l

Another day under the belt in the life of a recovering person. It's actually getting easier, and the whole repetitive behavioral addictive bullcrap is getting further away. Weird on one hand, the changes, but very welcome.

I drove my pile of cleared out clothes to a consignment shop today. They told me there was a waiting list until April. Eh? I mean... really?! The woman was so full of herself that all I have to say is I hope they go out of business. Yep! I said it! (But I now understand that my crappy clothes are not very chic in this neck of the woods... so be it... I care not! I'll revert to my plebby self and give them to peeps.)

And I need a new set of scales. Those old ones can't be right. I threw a perfectly good set in the bin once in a fit of pique... and these are looking like a runner up. HOW did I get so FAT?

Och... well... fat aside... I'm in the gym again, dodgy knee and all, and muscle memory is a good thing. ) Tyra Banks plus a few pounds... 'tis moi... (minus the booty).

I'm WIDE awake. Friday night. Normally... well ya all know.... I don't even have to say it do I? But there is a lot to be said for feeling calm. Priceless really.

I'm going to take one of them there rehab sleeping pills and check out in half an hour!

p.s. I didn't mean it about the consignment shop going out of business. I'm already suffering for having said it! May they live long and prosper!

Rehab 101... Never let yourself get dragged in to the maelstrom... It's about keeping yourself calm, well rested and in a good place... right? :l

Happy dreams, Zennifer

Good morning, Army

It's a beautiful autumn day in Stellenbosch. Despite the fact that winter is looming, this is my favourite time of year. The days are no longer overwhelmingly hot and it's cool enough at night to use a duvet.

A few slow chores planned, but nothing too hectic. We're supposed to be going to a birthday party tonight, which I'm not really in the mood for. It's a "bring and braai" - which means you have no control over the temperature of the coals and so on. It makes for a pretty crappy bbq. At least it's a pretty decent group of people, so the company should make up for it.

Mrs. T is off to an early morning game of squash and I'll drop the eldest off at gym when he emerges from his cave. The youngest and I have an aversion to physical exercise, I'm afraid to say.

Anyhoo... have a lekker Saturday, whatever it is you're planning.

Feeling a bit down here but will get out and do something positive today. My foot is aching so a bit anxious about running.

Hope your UTI is better today Molly?

Night Zen!

Marnin Tipps, Peapea, mrsa :hallo: and the rest of youse in snoozerville.

Just about to head out to do me Saturday teaching... then orf to my Aunts tonight and I think we'll be seeing Lincoln. Was alwasy apprehensive about seeing my aunt cos I always just glugged masses of wine... she'd have a fair bit too mind... but she knows i'm off it so that takes the pressure away.

mrsa - mind yer foot... dont go causing it more grief, so take care. I didn;t bother with my friday run (other than sleeping in) because i'm got this mini manfwoo thing. May do a half mara race tomorrow... but will see how I'm feeling. I really think it's worth taking a few days off if I have any aches or pains and to get them sorted instead of running through them (tried that before... came off worse).

Right away to the sprogs...

Hi rest of the Army.

Feeling a bit better now and thanks for the hug JC.:thanks:

Foot a bit better so like Runners I am going to do a half marathon (in Anglessey) tomorrow morning.

Mr A bought some tonic (to go with the gin in fridge)as he thought I might fancy a drink to cheer me up. He thinks that I have broken the habit so a few drinks will not harm ARGHHH

I wonder how Satz got on?
