I couldn't get the link to work Fen,btw its so nice to have you here,I was miserable when you left and kept asking about you,why'd you leave if you don't mind me asking? Just took a dayquil,hope it doesn't make me speedy,it comes with 2 in a packet but I've only ever taken one

[fennel]

I was re-jiggering the link to make it more user friendly, Pauly...give it another whirl! : )

Morning all,
Off to the gym then food truck event with Paul later.
Pauly I have a sinus headache this morning so I am right there with you....boohiss...

[paulywogg]

Ugh Dots,how can you go to the gym with this crap,I feel stuffed and dizzy but I'll TRY to fit in a walk....maybe

[paulywogg]

What a beautiful bird,but I agree that sqwauking sounds worse than dogs barking

[blue1]

Imagine the "alarm" call on a continuous loop. With about 8 - 10 of the noisy buggers chiming in.

Awww Fen....they're cute! I don't mind birds for an alarm clock. Lol
Sorry you couldn't sleep in tho.

Morning folks - I slept in late so I didn't get to see the meteor showers. Oh well......

Hope everyone has a great day! I'll be back when I can.

Fen - are you taking a nap? Maybe you better train those birds to have their meetings somewhere else. LOL Do you have any plans for the weekend? I'm going to be in somewhere with air conditioning that's for sure. Supposed to be in the 100's for the next few days. When are you going to start working on the steps?

Dotts - hope you feel better. Enjoy your evening later.

Pauly - are you still feeling crummy? I'm sorry.

Sun - how do you like the new house? Is your garden all set now? Are you still working part time?

Liz - how are you doing? I know that yesterday was a rough day. I hope that today is better. I'm having stupid little thoughts in my head today. I don't know why. I' on Day 19 - why are the thoughts popping up now? Probably because the bad scene is dimming in my mind. I better remember it because I know I don't want to repeat it.

Rusty - are you enjoying your time at home? I hope that you get a lot of relaxation and fun in there. When is your friend coming?

Mama - Are you coming home today? I am sure that this has been a VERY long week for you.

Blue - Glad you got your internet paid. I'm looking at different companies and making some changes myself.

Addy - how long are you here for? Are you getting the heat waves down there too? Since you're by the beach, hopefully, it won't be that bad.

Well - I better scoot. I was a lone for a bit so was able to post.

Have a great day everyone!

Ignore the thoughts Nora,I got one yesterday when I realized that I didn't hafta watch Louie and that my daughter was on a plane to Portland, I thought"hmmmm,house to myself" stupid cuz I can't get happy drunk anymore anyways, I told Fen in a pm that I was doing 100% better,I think I shoulda put 80% btw tomorrow will be 200 sober days for 2015,I know that's not great cuz its been split days,but I still have a hundred some odd days to play with, let's rock it hey where the hell is Liz?

[NoraC]

Pauly - FANTASTIC!!!!!! 200 days is awesome.

[Dottie Belle]

Pauly 200 days is fantastic!!!! :welldone::yay:

[paulywogg]

Not in a row though but at least I'm working on it,did manage a short walk but its too humid,had a sneeze attack at kohls, Louie was being atrocious, even Brady was ready to leave and he was the one getting new stuff,I did pick up 2 new exercise bottoms and a tank top,get some work out mojo I like the one pair cuz they have a zippered pocket at the waist so I can carry money on walks to the store,pretty cool,where's Rusty today?

[fennel]

Geez, Nora...I WISH I could take a nap. I have myself pretty routinized. Get up at about 7:30, lie around and read for a few, go get breakfast, go to the gym, come home and shower, go to a meeting, go to my mom's and take her out walking, shopping, clean her place up a bit, give her cat his meds, go out and pick up groceries or other errands, go home, cook supper for my sister wives, come online and try to email and phone my friends. I then watch mindless t.v. with my sister wives (after calling my sponsor). I retire to my basement room (the ebay room) and try to email or post online- then I fall asleep with the body pillow I picked up from Bed Bath and Beyond. I hate sleeping alone.

I'm on steps one through three, but will start working with my sponsor on the twelve and twelve on Monday.

Dottie, I hope you have a good night!

Pauly, you are doing awesome! :welldone:

[fennel]

Nora, you are doing so well, too. It's normal to have those thoughts...please remember what happens if you act on them, though...waking up in the wee hours anxious and withdrawing from A...feeling terrible the next morning. Push those thoughts out of your head and treat yourself in another way. Maybe you and Scott can go to a movie...go out somewhere and have a nice time together.

Nineteen days is fantastic!

[fennel]

Awww Fen....they're cute! I don't mind birds for an alarm clock. Lol
Sorry you couldn't sleep in tho.

Awww, Blue...I hear ya...but put a half dozen of those birds together, all "alarming" at the same time? It's pretty awful! I'd rather have titmice and chickadees waking me up.
