[NoraC]

Dots - I cannot imagine dating....nekkid????? ewwwwww!

:rotlf: :rotlf: :rotlf:

[NoraC]

Liz - glad you had a good night. Sounds like fun.

Mama - wow, you got home earlier?!?! FANTASTIC!! Enjoy.

Hope everyone is doing ok. I'm going to go read for a bit. I'm doing better - it helped to write out what was bothering me. I internalize instead of talking about it. I don't know why but that is one of my main issues. I start internalizing and holding everything in which makes me stressed and depressed which then leads to drinking. So, thank you for letting me vent.

[NoraC]

I saw on The Undies thread..... Techie's sister passed away last night. I am so sorry to hear that.
Techie - praying for you and your family.

[All done drinking]

Techie,

So incredibly sorry to hear about the loss of your sister. Sending love, thoughts, and prayers to you and your family.

Morning all,
Off to the gym then errands. Going to Jerry's tonight. My life sure has changed. Some days I look around and wonder what the hell happened to the life I had planned. Now I am trying to figure out what I want and with whom. If I want a man in it at all. Sometimes they are more trouble than they are worth. Going to see my grief counselor tomorrow. I need to bounce some of this off her. I am grateful that I have choices.

Hey guys,Nora I wanted to comment on your post yesterday but I'm lazy haha,you said you were feeling depressed cuz of all the things you listed and I understand why you felt sad but I've blown too many quits worrying or feeling sad for other people, including my damn kids,I'm really just trying to focus on me,nobody else unless its something catastrophic ya know? My boss has a saying that annoys us when we bitch about things"these are small things,nothing to worry about" but I'm making it my mantra,I'm glad you shared your worries here though hello to everyone, I'll be back after work

[NoraC]

Pauly - you are so right! I need to focus on ME instead of worrying about things that I can not change.

[NoraC]

Fen - how are you doing? :hug:

Sunni - hello - hope to see you.

Rusty - are you working?

Waving to everyone.......got to actually start working instead of just sitting here. :rotlf:

[paulywogg]

[Dottie Belle]

I am here....where is everyone else?? And I am leaving soon for the evening.

Break the board, Pauly!

Pauly - you are so right! I need to focus on ME instead of worrying about things that I can not change.

Okay...I don't want to get all "programmy", but I am often awake in the middle of the night, stressing about my future, my divorce, etc. I began saying the serenity prayer. Even if you don't believe in god, the part about knowing the difference between things you can change and those you cannot has been very helpful in my situation. There is very little about the circumstances of my worry that I have any power to change or control. It actually began to help me to not fixate on those things.

With that said, I'm sorry about all the stuff going on right now, Nora. :hug:

[fennel]

Sorry I didn't post yesterday, my peeps.
That's so sad about Techie's sister! I am sending prayers his way.
