Re: One Step at a Time - January 2018

Glassie, so exciting about the engagement! Do we have a date for the wedding yet? You do sound very busy, thanks for popping in and letting us know what your up to.

AG! I'm glad you're back. Busy is good and you do sound like you're in a better frame of mind.

Nora, are you home yet?

Rusty, anything new with your mom?

Pauly, I'm not surprised Louie is jealous. You are handling it great, I will file that away for future reference. We joked about the jealousy between my girls just the other week. We were at joes SIL s house to see the new baby. Her older son, who is 2 is also jealous. SIL asked me how long the jealousy lasted between my girls, CJ and I said it's still going on. It never went away:eek-new:.
Worked this morning and ran some errands. Nice out, so I walked outside. Spoke to CJ on the phone, they are doing ok. She got bitten/stung by a centipede. It was in a towel that was folded. She was home alone and had to kill this foot long thing. My poor baby. Her hand was numb for four hours. Apparently they inject venom, it isn't all that serious unless your allergic. Extremely painful, though. You know, because I need to worry about something!

Waves to everyone!

Hello Steppers. I am ok. Thinking of you and hope all is well. xoxo

Re: One Step at a Time - January 2018

We got home late Friday night. I'm just sort of blah at the moment. Probably fighting depression? Who knows. I'm sure poor hubby wished I was still in Oregon this morning. LOL Anyway, enough of that.

Glassie - so thrilled that G2 is engaged. :yay: And that HRH is still as adorable as ever. I just can't believe how much you have on your plate, young lady! You need to remember to take some Glassie time. Oh and thanks for the yoga recommendation. I've bookmarked it and will give it a try. It looked good.

Pauly - how's darling Romeo doing? He is gorgeous!!

Liz - I'm really sorry about your niece. I think that sometimes they get to a point and maybe get overwhelmed knowing that it's time for the 'real world'. I hope things get better.

Hi Techie

[NoraC]

Re: One Step at a Time - January 2018

AG - how are things going? Are things better with you & hubby? How is the 'alcohol' going?

[NoraC]

Re: One Step at a Time - January 2018

Rusty - Did you have a good visit with your Mom? Does she know when she is moving yet?

Techie - thank you for checking in. Are you home for a while before more treatment? :love:

Re: One Step at a Time - January 2018

Hi all - checking in . . . Techie, good to "see" you. I hope all is well in your world.

Nora, I'm fine. Things are better with hubs in that he is being nice, still no hugs or anything. I think he realized from our last go round that he is not the only one who may want out of this relationship, it probably didn't occur to him. Anyway, enough of that.

AL is out of the house. I'm not drinking. But, I feel like I have a deep cloud of despair over me. May be the weather? May be I'm truly realizing that AL cannot be an option for me? May be both?

We saw the movie The Post today, it was very good and a nice distraction from my stupid head. Off for a walk. More later - AG

Re: One Step at a Time - January 2018

Hey all. Techie so good to hear from you. I'm glad you're ok.
AG and Nora, could your moods be due to just winter blahs and lack of daylight? I know you both have a lot going on, but maybe that's contributing? I load up on vitamin D this time of year. Not sure if it really helps, but I figure it can't hurt.
Off to bed for me as its way past my bedtime and baby will be here before you know it. Hope you all have a great AF Monday!

Re: One Step at a Time - January 2018

Liz CJ must miss you terribly, but it's so good that she can ring you when things go wrong. We're pretty much used to bugs and such here in Aus, it's not unusual to find a spider as big as your hand and we generally just catch them and put them back outside.

BTW - I can't remember if I told you this but we had a double celebration for G2 last night, as he's about to start a new job next week. It's a bit of a long story, but after finishing his science degree he went travelling for a while, then decided to come back and do an engineering degree. Five years later... (he's now 28) he finally qualified (which is why he finally felt able to propose to my darling DIL to be) and he applied for a grad program with a major global engineering company. And from more than 5000 applicants he was the successful one. And they're going out of their way to accommodate him, so he'll be working at the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast for the next few months.

Re: One Step at a Time - January 2018

Good Morning, All!
[MENTION=11089]techie[/MENTION] darling! So good to see you! We miss you here. Hope you are feeling well today!

Glassie-WOW about your son!! What an achievement! You must be SO proud of him. Like mother, like son...for sure! To be the most successful candidate out of 5,000...you must be beaming with pride, as you should!:yay:

Liz-So sorry to hear CJ got stung by a centipede. OUCH!!! Glad you will have baby Logan today...it's so fun to see babies grow up...their personalities change all the time.

Nora-how are you feeling after your trip? Did you get everything done that you had hoped?:hug:

AG-Great to see you here. I feel badly that your relationship with your husband doesn't bring you much joy.:hug: Maybe counseling would help? Good job on not drinking through this stressful time!
[MENTION=7944]dill[/MENTION]-thank your for your ongoing support with regard to my mom. I rely on my faith to keep me strong during this transitional period in our lives. I am grateful I can share faith-filled messages with you.:heartbeat:

I spent the weekend at my mom's, packing. I feel better about the situation now. She is handling it so well. I don't know what we would have done without my aunt's help. That woman of 74 packed, sorted and organized 10 hours every day for 9 days straight. The gift of sobriety has allowed her to achieve things she never thought she could accomplish. I am glad she can be fully present when my mom needs her, and we need her, the most.

Pauly-are your scabs healing? How is baby Romeo?

I better get going, friends. I am home today but I have a boat load of work to do. Big hellos to anyone I missed. Happy AF Monday!

Re: One Step at a Time - January 2018

Hi all - just checking in. Today was better and hubs brought me flowers, so it ain't all bad :thumbsup:

[Rusty]

Re: One Step at a Time - January 2018

AG-So glad hubs brought you flowers! How sweet! Is it possible for you to tell him that outward displays of physical affection are what you really need? Just sayin.' I don't know your husband but as much as we love them, guys sometimes they can be a little dense and miss even the strongest "hints".
