Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

[abcowboy]

Hopefully you made it to the tiny house safe and sound Rava and now to enjoy a couple of weeks with the family.

That's great news about the knee Ginger, now just to get you to follow the Dr's orders lol.

Those sound like quite the Christmas cookies Mulburry, I'm going to have to Google them to see what they are. We did end up sending out the packages to the kids, according to the tracking they should get them before Christmas but there is also a waiver that says they may not because of the heavy backlog.

You're right Jude, Christmas is just around the corner! And then it'll be into a new year, where does the time go...

Dill, you were right on when you said I should be careful what I wish for lol. We got about 6" of snow yesterday that I shoveled, then about another 2" overnight that I'll have to take care of this morning. I'm definitely getting my exercise in this year haha. I'll have to give Corey a call to see when he's going to out with the tractor and plow and see if he can swing up to the farm and clear the lane and yard.

We are headed toward a string of unseasonably warm weather. It's funny how 1,400 miles can make such a weather difference. It's cold, gray and miserable, I hear back home.

Be careful shoveling, to those that must! That's a hard workout for anybody

Those cookies sound amazing. I'll PM you guys my AZ address. lol

Going to lunch with a group to celebrate a birthday. There will be no drinking for me! I'll take another day of freedom.

Same here, doesn't look like we'll have a white christmas, looks like it'll just be one rainstorm after another for the foreseable future. I guess I should be thankfull that these deluges of rain aren't coming down as snkow.

[Jude58]

We're supposed to have a little snow today and tomorrow with really cold temps. Right now we don't have any snow on the ground but hopefully we will have a white Christmas.

I went to a meeting yesterday and the topic was "alcohol, cunning, baffling and powerful." How many times have we found that to be true. Those thoughts about drinking pop up at random times, and we always need to have some kind of defense against them. It's been hard for me to resist drinking lately due to the holidays and the booze that goes with it. I just have to keep reminding myself that taking that first drink will put me right back down that rabbit hole again.

24 more for all of us please...

[dill]

Wow, Cowboy! That's a lot of! shoveling. With all that practice you must be getting really good at it.

Jude, thanks for sharing. I wish I could have heard the speakers at your meeting yesterday. The holidays are a challenge for me too.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, but I'm afraid that's the only place I'll see one this year! Oh well.

24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

If y'all want a white Christmas, come on up! We've got lots of snow and lots of room in the house lol.

[Ginger999]

Amen to the holidays and drinking! It's a real trigger for a lot of us, to be sure. The stores around here have boosted their displays of poison to almost every isle. Insane! Im glad you guys are here. There's no way I could do it without you!

There's a bad bug going around here. Hoping we can stay clear of it. Respiratory junk. My friend has it and I was with her all day; before she came down with it. Not looking too good for my team.

Waves too all my AF pals! I'll take another day of freedom

Good morning cafe. Forgot to check in yesterday. Slept in late because I was up most of the night not able to sleep. Today I am driving 3 hours with my sister to say our goodbyes to our father as he is in the hospital. Hope everyone has a good day. No drinking in my future. Ginger, I am glad that your knee is not too bad. Hope you follow the doctors orders!!! 24 more please and thank you.
