    ONE STEP AT A TIME... AUGUST, 2014

    Morning everyone ... well we had a huge storm last night - mainly mouth and trousers though, not a lot of rain with it but hopefully enough that it will make weeding easier for me today ....

    Nursie - I think if it is meant to be them it will happen - we had only planned on one but ended up with two - and it was one of the best things that could have happened !! So, not that you are worrying, as I think you are way too busy to worry - but just let life decide what is what eh ? You do sound really busy !! But that is good I think ....

    MB - glad that you are nearing the end of the ABX - and that you are feeling better.

    Pauly - sorry about your daughter and the dreads - I agree with you for what it is worth, but I suppose they have to do their own thing and she could be doing a lot worse than having dreads !!!

    Hi there Cori and Lav - good to see you both - Cori I laughed at you saying that we all seem to together - I think for a lot of us it is like that picture of the duck - all serene on the surface but under the water, paddling like crazy!!

    Cori - what are you trying to disable the autosuggest on? An android or an iPad ? For an android, go to setting (first go to menu), then under settings go to keyboard or language - there should be a keyboard input button somewhere in there .... For an iPad, go to settings then general then you should see an autosuggest button that you can press.....

    Dottie - does Hubs think he has any memory issues ? Can I ask how old he is? (You can PM me if you would rather).

    Nora - good for you going to the gym. I need to start doing something now I am part time !

    Okay - I have been struggling with this on and off but no-one ever really seems to discuss AL any more. I did e-mail another person on this thread and talked about it and it turns out she is also struggling.... I was AF for a few days then instead of taking an AB on Tuesday I drank .... then also drank yesterday. Did not have much yesterday but still did drink though. I WILL take an AB today but it is getting so old. I am feeling really down about it today. I have a great therapist and we talked about why I drink etc., and the ironic thing is that we got rid of all my issues with AL - so when I drink, I don't even enjoy it any more !! BUT I know it has progressed as I am drinking more each time ... then do nothing the next day - not hung over but just have no motivation - and for me that is really bad. I cannot seem to get past that first few days - once I know the AB has worn off, I allow myself to drink saying I will take it the next day......

    SIGH. I know none of you can do anything but I am really feeling so down today 'cos of this - I so want to get this sorted - but keep sabotaging myself !!

    Hugs to all, Sun XXX
    How simple it is to see that we can only be happy now and there will never be a time when it is not now....

      Sunny, maybe I don't mention it, I guess because I'm tired of it too. I do struggle too. Any day without al is a good day! Just jump back on that wagon! Those first few days are the hardest. Sometimes I take it just a minute at a time . I find once I get a few days under the belt it gets easier. I need to keep busy, that helps too. Come here and vent. You can PM me anytime. We need to help each other.

      Cloudy here today. After I run hubby and I will tackle the garage some more. We have found many treasures during this process. We have laughed and even cried. No rest for the weary.

          Kradle...I have been thinking about you. You ok?
          Cori...I called you Corgi!! Too funny....I am sure K9 will bust me in a few!!
          Sun- I am sorry about your stuggle.....it gets old doesn't it?
          I was determined not to drink last weekend, and did not manage it.
          But I look at the fact that I used to drink EVERY night, and now it's just weekends, so I am ok with that.
          Chin up everybody, ok?
          back to work

                Hi Everyone!

                Sunni - I wanted to comment on your post, but we have a staff meeting in 8 minutes so I will have to do that later.

                Be back when it's over

                  Morning all,
                  Raining like crazy here. Fortunately we have nothing on the agenda for today...cant even believe that.
                  I have an exercise seminar on race walking at 6pm so hopefully the rain will stop before that.
                  sun dh will be 76 later this month. He is 16 years older. Sometimes he jokes about having a bad memory and I have a tendency to finish his sentences....I am working on making him pull the words himself. Our new doc has a way to email issues so I might just put a long bug in his ear via email so and then send dh alone....maybe....maybe I am just overly sensitive with seeing dads memory circle the drain....
                  Need something to eat. Will be here most all day.

                    LOL - it used to actually mean that a chap was just all talk and flash - so really means that the storm was all noise and no action (as in not much rain!!). Didn't even think about that you wouldn't know what I meant when I typed it .... Reccy - have I explained it okay ????

                    Back to my paperwork sorting - being VERY good today - oh and I HAVE TTDP.

                    Hugs to all XX

                      WE had such a bang of thunder and the lights went out. Poor doggies were hiding. One is still burried in the couch cushion.....
                      Laundry is calling my name.....what fun.

                        Dottie, you must be getting the storms that went through here last night ..... your poor dogs - I bought a thunder jacket for one of mine as she used to be terrified of the storms - now if she sees me get the thunder jacket out she stops barking - so it worked !!!! I don't even have to put it on her ..... LOL

                          Well that was a long ass staff meeting...but then again, there were donuts involved, and a pregnancy announcement (AND HELL NO IT WASN'T ME....:H:H:H)

                          Back to Sunni's question...I AM struggling too. I have to admit I haven't done so well lately. I have the FP's (feckin' pills) in my purse and I just can't bring myself to take them. I so badly want to be where I was...I need a freakin plan. Wish I was addicted to the gym like I used to be :upset:

                          Anywhoooo...don't want to be a downer. I know I will get it together and soon! I am getting too old for this crap!

                          Hope you're all having a good day...back later to check on y'all!!

                                Well - Sunni & K9 are not the only ones struggling right now. I don't know what's up with me but it's almost like I've given up. That's why I haven't posted about it. I need to be responsible for getting my act together. Taking a pill isn't cutting it. I need to work at this instead of just thinking that taking a magic pill will make me better. :upset:
                                So - I am taking steps to improve but it's one step forward and a couple steps backward.

                                Ok - back to work.
