ONE STEP AT A TIME... AUGUST, 2014

So now the sun is out full blast,i was happier when it was cloudy so i could lounge on my couch watching "roseann"re-runs and not feel guilty,now the suns out and i feel like i should be up doing something dang! i've got buffalo chicken in the crock pot,it turns into shredded,hot chicken you put on a roll,it's pretty good and easy,Recluse,don't be angry at Zen,she just doesn't want you to leave us and neither do i,you are a positive force on the thread and we'd miss you

And Reccy, it?s been bothering me since I read your PM and, sorry, but I?m putting it out there. PLEASE don?t be leaving again? if you do it will be twice the same nonsense has put you off. I am not overly bothered by any of it any longer, I can ignore it and would have continued to do so had I not been, umm, ?under the weather?, perhaps you can too? If you stop posting Mama will be opening a can of whoop ass over losing her Beloved Mr Bear and the rest of the Steppers love having you here too. Don?t you folks? And so do I. :l

Hey Reccie - I'm sorry but you can't leave. You are a Stepper and you are stuck with us. :l:l:h Seriously, I look forward to hearing from you. Please stick with us.......

Beloved Mr Bear.... You are a man and don't get the "sisters stick together" thing, but you are family and I would be deviated if you left. I will smack Zen if you like but she mentioned it out love and deep concern for you. Please stay here with us..... You need us and we need you❤️

Hey Rec,

You own this place like everyone else here that has thoughtful, enlightening things to share. Don't stop sharing ok!!!

Training today went really well even with the humidity and heat. Hope everyone that stops by has had a great, relaxing weekend.

Had a good time at our meeting. Saw a spectacular train layout in a totally spectacular house. Did get dh to stop for dinner. I had a sandwich I used to love but it just wasn't right...guess all the clean eating has changed my taste buds....wont order that again.
Gym tomorrow and I really need it. Not sleeping well. I dislike conflict and this house thing is bugging me.
We had rain here too finally but now it is a sauna out. The grass and my garden needed it but now it is yucky hot...bleh.

ONE STEP AT A TIME... AUGUST, 2014

I have returned from my sojourn in the farthest reaches of Michigan...I did my best to keep up via phone, but the service was dodgy at best!

Anyway, Mrs. Fen and I hiked our buns off. Also, I found tons of really good quality Petoskey stones. I can't wait to begin polishing them and presenting them to my peeps.

We rented a remote cabin that was full of noises. In the night, the logs began to contract and it sounded as if someone were pelting the house with stones, which alarmed Mrs. Fen...also, last night we heard a wolf howling. Not a coyote! Mrs. Fen became quite alarmed, but I found it rather magical.

I am pleased to report that it was easy to stay AF while on this holiday. Mostly families, no drinking that was really obvious. The nearest liquor store was thirty miles from our cabin, so there wasn't much temptation. In fact, I began to notice how many people weren't drinking, which is very unlike me.

I missed you all, and I'm glad to be back. :h

And we're glad to have you back! :h Your holiday sounds very healthy and good for the soul. I am going to have to Google those stones of which you speak. Do you just find them lying around? I was born in Michigan by the way... Detroit... glad we moved to Scotland when I was a baby! Detroit... yuck.

Sunny... it will be the going AF I was picking up on... all ya want to do is sleeeeep........ Hope you wake up with some more energy tomorrow... X

Pauly... did you get out and about in the sun earlier? It is so bloody hot and humid here just now, totally bleh. A good time to go to Scotland in fact. Did you see the moon tonight? It was very impressive here, wondering what it was like up in LV.

Nursie... well done on quitting the twaks. I was a smoker, I know it's not easy to do, so kudos to you.

Reccy... don't be mad... I just wanted you to see how important you've become around here and I wanted the rest of them to understand what transpired. If Mama or Nora or whomever was thinking of leaving I'd throw that out to the group in a nano second... ya know? Alls made a very good point... you have as much right to this place as anyone and should be able to say what you feel. So please stick with us as Nora said... XXX :l

Mama... I'm not sure if you should smack me or the reverse darlink, being as you're deviated you might be needing one! :wow: :H Fifty Shades of Grey, eh? :H

So I went to the gym, I went to the tan place, CVS, Sally's, Marshalls (where I found excellent stuff for the baby and my other cousin's wee boy) and I went out to dinner at Duffy's. Not so bad in light of the fact all I wanted to do was go to bed. Tomorrow I'll hit Kohl's for the rest of the presents. We live on an island and the shopping is horrible so it's kinda de rigeur to bring things back from 'Murrica.

And I am tired as all get out. I haven't been sleeping well, about 4 hours a night, but I have a feeling tonight I'm out for the count.

Nighty night, sleep well folks. See yas tomorrow... X

Morning all ..... good to have you back Fen - we missed you ! I thought that was lovely, you noticing the folk not drinking .... also good that it is getting easier for you.

Dottie - sorry the house thing is upsetting you but I totally understand - anything like that does - hope you get it sorted soon. Maybe the renters dad is trying to wear you down..

Nursie - I quit smoking on 13th March - I used one of those Vape things - and if EVER I feel in the slightest tempted I do have a puff of the vape - haven't had a puff now in quite a while but it is there should I feel tempted !! You can get them without nicotine too so that way you are just having the feel of smoking without any of the bad stuff !! But as I said, I used it to stop me - and it actually worked!! I wish I had tried it way sooner !

Pauly - I agree - about the having more money - also about not having to go out as much - I used to have to go out (to get my AL) even if I hadn't been planning on going out - now I don't need to ! It is rather nice. I slept much better last night too - of course, the 2 Benadryl might have had something to do with it although I did try that the first night too and it did nothing.

Think I might have a nap - I got up as the dogs were pestering to be let out and fed (they are so used to me getting up at 5.00 for work). I will get rid of my residual Benadryl that way!

back later XX
