Well, avoided beverage cart temptation yesterday but did not stay AF last night. Today was pretty much of a waste. Hate it when that happens. Not hard to abstain tonight. Am determined tomorrow will be a good day.

Arizona Arnold Palmers are delicious. It is a mixture of iced tea and lemonade. I buy the zero calorie so know I'm getting a lot of chemicals. Hhmmm, chemicals by day and poison at night. Not tonight. Almond milk was my choice of drink. So I'm with you, Liz and Sun.

During my lazy day I found a Showtime series called Time of Death. Watching that really makes you want to take care of your health. As I sign off...

LOL - I often wonder what on earth it was that I said that makes someone say something - like TMH said about the Almond milk - and I have NO idea !!! I hate any sort of COLD tea - I am British and only drink PROPER tea !! LOL I like Almond milk and love almond butter on apple - in fact have just made a batch of almond butter.

TMH - think I will give that ShowTime show a miss - but thanks all the same - LOL

It is really quiet on here today and yesterday ......

Hugs to all, Sun XX

Finally home!!! Was supposed to hit the gym today but had to take some packages from work to UPS which is in the opposite direction. Not a good excuse but I used it. :H

Rusty - I was so happy to start Dottie's thread for you. You had said that you were going to be working so I'm glad that you didn't mind me stepping in for you. :h So very happy for our Miss Dottie.

I think that I'm going to need new glasses soon. My eyes have been hurting and I've been getting such headaches after working all day on the computer. Oh well - I'll quit complaining now. I went in early today and feel like I got NOTHING done. I am so busy and will be taking a week off at the end of the month to go see my Mom. My brother had to take my Uncle to ER yesterday - shortness of breath and chest pain. Good thing is that he did not have a heart attack. They said that he has 'pleural effusion'. Of course, I 'Googled' it and it sounds serious and they didn't give him any treatment???

I am about to curl up with my book. I can't believe that I have to stop reading for work, daily commitments, etc. :H

I was thinking today how very grateful I am for all of you. It means so much to know that you are here and so supportive. Not sure where I am heading in this long road to sobriety....AA, in-patient, out-patient, etc. But, it really helps knowing that I have you all right here with me. I believe that I can do this....I have taken an unnecessary detour. But, I am getting back to the main road and I feel optimistic.

Checking in, it's been nuts getting everything ready for my son's first day of first grade, working, cleaning etc.
I've been having weird dreams too, like I'm drinking but not getting drunk. Then the dream ends with me being happy that I didn't get drunk.
Putting my little guy to sleep tonight before his first day of first grade was so very special. We read books and talked and cuddled.
It's a good day and I'm glad I'm sober.
Love to all my peeps!

Sun....:l

Nora, I hear you about glasses. I am two years overdue on an eye exam. I will try to do it next week. Also, I think you had a good excuse not to go to the gym.

Rusty, it's so nice to see you posting here! :l

Nursie, I hope the little guy had a great first day of first grade. :h

K9, Mama, Paulie, Kradle, Liz...I am thinking of all of you.

Well, day one of two bad days is over.

I worked like crazy today to clean and get everything in the house in order for our first showing tonight. Mrs. Fen had made such a rave about our back garden, I was compelled to go out back and weed a bit in order to reveal the basic charm of the space. I succeeded on all fronts.

We went to pick up my mom and transported her to my cousin's wake. This was just so sad. I am going to insist that my mom uses her supplemental oxygen tomorrow. She mostly refuses to use it in public, but she ends up gasping like a beached guppy when we get her back into the car, where she hooks back up to her supply. She has aspirations to attend the private burial tomorrow, but I will insist that she use her oxygen if she wishes to go. It's too scary when she doesn't!

The good news is that the very first couple to view our home may put in an offer. Their agent contacted our agent immediately after they viewed our home. Our realtor said no "low-ball" offers will be accepted, so they'd better be serious. I just want this whole thing over with, since I am the one who cleans, weeds and generally frets over the condition of the house for showings.

At any rate, with a showing tomorrow and Friday afternoon, I am beginning to think that this house may sell sooner rather than later.

Good Evening Stepping Out Friends!

Rusty - sorry I got you confused with the other Rusty - but welcome !! And I am not sure if it is good or bad that you remember me anyway!

Of course I remember you in a very good way. Your MWO start date was exactly one month after my family confronted me and wanted me to go to rehab...and I read EVERY one of your posts, and you were like a ray of sunshine...always positive and kind...and I was so scared and full of shame, but you gave me such hope back then...and I am so very sorry that I didn't express my gratitude 5 years ago :-( I am glad we are connecting now, though.

Fen-you must have shoulders of brass to take care of your mom like you do.:l

Dottie-you deserved your own congratulatory thread.:goodjob: Nora was the unselfish one on Monday.
