Re: One Step at a Time - March 2018

So how was everyone's Thursday? Most of the snow we got yesterday has already melted. Feels like spring is really almost here. Seriously in a funk today, maybe cabin fever? I felt better after eating a healthy dinner, go figure.
So I have never heard of a skink.

Hey - a funk must be going around! I almost stayed home today too. Luckily I went to work - I forgot that there was something I needed to take care of tomorrow so I had stuff I needed to do today!
We did get rain today. I think that's it though.

I hope that everyone has a Fabulous Friday!! :yay:

Another great Belle - Tired of Thinking about Drinking e-mail. She is so right......it's just plain easier being sober than dealing with the alcohol effects (guilt, depression, resentment, hangover, etc)

Cuz really, it's not about how much you drink. It's not about how low your bottom is. It's about how drinking makes you feel. And for me at least, it's about how being sober is just plain easier than everything else I'd tried before.

[MENTION=24140]Crusader[/MENTION] - I missed 1 day of the CBD oil (actually it was 3 doses) and I didn't sleep very well. I took it last night and I did seem to sleep better. I'm still up a couple times a night (I drink a lot of water during the day) but I seemed to have a more relaxed sleep. I'll keep you posted. Hubby is going to take a dose in the evening to see if it helps him. He has major sleep issues.
No improvement in pain though. I'm still researching it though.

Morning friends,defo a funk going around at least for me swear I wish I could turn off my caring about Michelle's bad decisions! There's nothing I can do so why worry? Nora,just keep up with the CBD oil,it can't hurt,you might need the kind with a dash of THC for the pain,its the kind I have(but still haven't used) as for sleep you don't want something that knocks you on your ass anyways,just a little nudge Rusty,are you home or on zee road? Liz,glad you got a day off to yourself,I took a walk in the drizzle yesterday morning and it was nice,treadmill day today tho to sort my thoughts,99 cent store go see what kind of meat Albertsons has a,deal on,lunch with Kell and my boys,then have Brady try to hook up my Netflix again,couldn't get it working last night,much love to all and wishes for a great BF Friday!!

[MENTION=9757]NoraC[/MENTION], thank you so much. If it solves one of your problems that's good. Getting better sleep will help many issues and maybe you can combine another therapy option for the pain. Have you checked yourself out for food allergies or any food intolerance that may set off your fibro pain? That has been an issue with me, so worth checking into if you haven't.

I'm like your husband. We are true insomniacs. I have a lot going on with me right now, so lots of changes being made on top of the no more alcohol. It can take time for things to get better as you know.

Hugs!

Re: One Step at a Time - March 2018

Hey guys, happy Friday. Sorry everyone is in a kinda funk, but I'm glad I'm not alone. Blankie fort, up and running tonight.
My day was better today. Logan fell asleep in my arms while I gave him his bottle, playing with my hair. I can't even tell you how amazing that felt. Such a little sweety. Went for a manicure and got a springy pink color. Took a quick walk around the park while hubby was home for lunch.
Hope everyone's funk subsides and we can enjoy a quiet AF Friday night. Working in the morning of I'm off to bed.

Re: One Step at a Time - March 2018

Hello all!!!

Busy, busy day at work. Then I came home and started filing tons of paperwork that I had shoved into a box. :eek-new: Trying to get some organization going here. I hope to also work on some of the Oregon stuff this weekend.
Hubby & I are scheduled for a massage on Sunday morning. Son is going to come over & stay with Mom. So, my appt is at 8:00 and hubby will wait for me and his appt is at 9:00 and I'll wait for him. Then we'll go out for breakfast and just have a lovely morning. I'm very excited.

Liz - did you see that I expanded the blankie fort?

Re: One Step at a Time - March 2018

Good Morning, Steppers!

Liz-love love love the pic of Logan on FB! He is such a doll. I am so glad you are one happy Oma.:heartbeat:

Nora-thank you for the beautiful blankie fort! I am delighted that you and hubs have massages tomorrow and your son is taking care of your mom. You need to take these breaks far more often, my dear.:hug:

Pauly, [MENTION=17650]paulywogg[/MENTION]...I had a long commute several days this week, BUT, I only work ONE day next week on-site...the rest of the week, I am at home, doing paid work for a client on one day, and as my mom says, "I'll just let the rest of the week evolve." Hahaha! Sorry to hear about Michelle making bad choices. That must be so painful for you to watch, knowing you can't really do anything about it. I will read that article, "The 100 Day Hangover." Thanks for the suggestion! :-) I love watching "My 600 lb. Life," too. Most of the families of those patients are morbidly obese, too...it must be SO hard for them to lose weight and be surrounded by people who have the same bad habits and refuse to do anything about it. You are right...their eating habits are like our lives with AL.
[MENTION=24140]Crusader[/MENTION]-how are you feeling today?

AG, Glassie, [MENTION=11089]techie[/MENTION], I hope you are all doing well.

Today, the movers are coming to move my mom's dining room set into my condo. It's a beautiful cherry table that can seat 12 people, and then there's a lovely glass and wooden china cabinet.

Better get going! Happy AF Saturday, everyone!
