One Step at a time - April 2015

[Rusty]

Good Morning!!

Mama-your new Tucky...diva bitch. Hahah! Is she the one I saw you with on your FB page? Regarding her comment to you about "trying so hard" after you bought chocolate bunnies, I have been accused of that "crime" a few times in my career. NEWSFLASH DUMBASS PEOPLE: Mama and I don't HAVE to try hard to be nice, we just ARE!!!!

Bird-come out, come out wherever you are!

Sunni-I am anxious to hear about how the move went....I know the house was filthy when you and hubs did the walk through.

Cheery hellos to our male, infrequent, but so welcome friends...Recluse, Samstone, AbcCowboy!

Ok, off to work with my sweet cowboy client. He's 6'8", and wears cowboy boots, Wrangler jeans, and has a big, round belt buckle with red rhinestones on it. :-)

Have a great day, everybody!

Thanks, PaulyW, MamaB, NoraC, Rusty, Lizzan - all yous - haha

It sure is nice to wake up feeling not so good about last nights choice and finding that I told people and they have send back understanding and positive thoughts. Grateful. Today is another new start day. I am tempted to just not cont it and keep going to day 8 - but that is an illusion, so day 1 again -ah. I guess this 'thing' has really become what we all know it does over time.

Hey all, Mama I think I'm gonna like devil Barbie more than Tucky stories haha, yes I'll continue with the ab,even if it's a small dose I'm not about to play Russian roulette and drink on it, especially if I'm this sensitive to it,actually after I posted yesterday me and Brady decided to get ice cream and after that I was ace?perhaps low blood sugar? Or maybe as Nora mentioned it does rev up the heart a bit and maybe I mistook it for anxiety, who cares I'm not drinking and that makes me Rusty,you are nice, nothing wrong with that and yes the person who liked that post isusually sweet so we'll let it pass and have compassion for what she's going through, Dots, you've made more progress in 2 months than I'd probably make in 2 years, proud of you, was gonna ask if you'd post more pics of the pups on Facebook whenever you get some time, hello to all, I'm starving off to find food!!!!!!! Happy Thursday

Morning all,
Need to do some laundry today then counselor and gym later.
I hope I dont bring u all down with my grief. I am trying to not always whine and cry here. I want everyone to be happy to be here not to dread what a debbie downer dottie is.....

[SKendall]

Hi all and thanks for asking how I'm doing. I was supposed to go to the house this a.m. with some staging items. Felt terrible yesterday so saw doc and my bp was 80/50 - they couldn't even find the bottom #.

It's just an over-correction with the meds and easily remedied. Won't drive though.

Mama, your new Tucky sounds like a diva alright, poor you, you sound exhausted.

Hi to everyone else.

Hey guys, busy here today! Loving all the posts.
Mama, just to clarify I did not drink. Not that I am coming down on anyone who did. It was my go to response when I found out about the denial of Marks work visa, but fought the urge.
Mama, gotta tell you I'm really sorry about devil Barbie, but you have me laughing! Just when you think it can't get any worse.
Dottie, you need us to be supportive right now. I understand. Please don't feel like we think you are whining here. I for one can't imagine how I would deal. I want to help.
Sweet rusty, I just wanted to make it better for you. Glad your gonna hang around.
Ok, so for clarification, Mark is a junior in college. He works for a drug company on contract, not specifically an internship. He communicates with the main office in Basel Switzerland and became friendly with one senior employee there. They suggested a three month internship in basel. The company is wanting him everything is set. The government is saying he is already working for the company in the US why come to Switzerland, we will likely not grant him the visa. Bastards!(sorry). I don't believe the company will fight or go out on a limb for a three month internship. We shall see.
Oh Erin's here. I'll check back later.

It was a good day, in spite of it being another Day 1.

[Rusty]

Go2Goal- back on the horse...what prompted you to drink? Not criticizing...only asking. Hugs

[mama bear]

Dots, you don't bring us down. We understand.
Love you all
Gonna be a long day tomorrow...

I am sorry I have not been here - just way too much going on in my life to try and respond and be chatty! I tend to be very ostrich like when life gets like this - taken AB today (teeny tiny dose - like 1.8 of a tab) and trying to hang in there.

Hugs to all, sun XXX

[Lizann]

Sunny, sending you hugs. We are here if you need. Hoping things get better soon!

[go2goal]

Yep, Rusty, it was a tiny emotion called disappointment. Have to watch out tfor that one...and its friends, sadness, lonely and anger

Hope things slow down for you, SunshineD - stress is such a bugger...

[Rusty]

Sunni-HUGS-thanks for checking in with us and taking the AB!!!

Go2Goal-ahh....a few of the HALTs hit you, huh? Hungry Angry Lonely Tired? For me, it was definitely, Hungry, Angry, Lonely...never tired. When tired, I just want to go to sleep. But hunger is a HUGE trigger for me...so I ALWAYS had to have food with me when I traveled, because when I was traveling so much, I would think, I think I need a glass of wine with my food...what fun is eating lunch or dinner without wine. Were you sad? Care to share where you live? Support offered here. HUGS

Mama-you busy bee! Thanks for popping in!

Liz-thanks for explaining the visa situation with Mark. So sorry you are dealing with all this.

Yawn...tired Rusty has put in a 12-hour work day...ah, then retail therapy at Pier 1. Good thing I have a great job!! Hahahahahahah

See you tomorrow, friends. :-)
