Re: One Step at a Time - Dry (And Healthy, Self-Caring) July 2018

Hi all,
Nora, maybe you need 2 tvs in the same room. Thats what my mom did when her hubby was alive. hehe...I am reading a James Patterson/Bill Clinton book....Lizann, I bet taking Logan out is fun. I always loved taking my kids different places. Still do. Big hugs regarding Mark. I know it is hard...so I did catch 3 small bass yest. I will eat them tonight. It is supposed to rain, so won't be too hot to cook. So dd1 should be home tomorrow or Monday. She is good company. Sure do miss dd2 being home. I don't think she will be back this summer. ....b

Tried to run a salon with daughter. It didn't work. Still live in Alabama and still loving it. It is so good to see so many old friends doing so well. Makes me smile. :-)

Bird - I didn't know that dd2 wasn't coming back this summer. :sad: I thought both girls were spending the whole summer with you.

Pauly - good to see you. How are the boys?

Cinders - I am glad to hear that you are doing well. I would think of you and wonder how you were.

Rusty - sendng you much love & light. :hug:

Liz - I guess you are busy chasing after your little one. Enjoy.

It's going to be in the hundreds again but I think only around 104°. Was miserable trying to sleep last night. I would go in and splash water on myself and get my hair wet and then could sleep for a few minutes.

There is not a lot to do in our little living room. I have been crocheting, I have been reading, I have been watching TV. I guess I could get up and dust but I don't want to go crazy or anything. LOL

Nora, I know what you mean, don't go crazy. Sounds like it's too hot to move! How much longer will it last? Just a perfectly beautiful day here! TS came and hung out in the pool, once I got Logan down for a nap. I went in briefly too. Tonight after dinner hubby and I took the baby over by my dad. TS was there with him tonight, so we went out for a walk. Odd the things you have to deal with in life, I was pushing my grandson in a stroller and TS was pushing our father in the wheel chair. We tried to stay upbeat. But it's sad. Hope everyone had a great Saturday!

Only 104? Geez..yes dd2 was supposed to come home this week but decided not to. Still doesnt want to be around dd1 I think. Went out to the park today and walked. Worked on my friends house a bit, or I guess it is my house. Is it too hot to go in the other rooms Nora.?

Once I get my full paycheck from my new job I plan to celebrate and already my al mind keeps saying just one more drunk night. But I know what will happen if I cave. So I will not cave and will stay home if I need to.

Good job Drifty! You know what will happen. Why would this time be any different than all the other times? That's what I tell myself.
And I just need to remember that I don't want to be that person anymore. I know you can do this. :heartbeat:

Re: One Step at a Time - Dry (And Healthy, Self-Caring) July 2018

Techie - wonderful to see you! Happy Sunday.

Pauly - how are things going? Did I see that were getting rain? We are only going to be in the 90's today. I'm so happy.

Well, looks like Glassie wasn't able to come out & play much this weekend. :sad:

I have been so riveted on those poor boys trapped in the cave. I heard that they were able to get 4 out and were trying to prepare for the next round. All the people working together - this is the way the world should be. No ego - just caring for other humans.

Good Afternoon and Happy Sunday to My Friends in the States and to Glassie-Happy Monday.

I am on a plane, en route to Salt Lake City for work. I am sitting next to the fussiest 1-year-old girl, who has done nothing but scream and cry the whole time. Maybe she is teething or hungry. Wouldn't you think her parents would pack a few toys for her, but NOOOOOOOOOOO! Oh wait, now they are finally giving her some snacks and she has stopped crying. It only took them 2.5 hrs. to figure that out. I am grateful that I am staying at a Homewood Suites downtown that has an outdoor pool. It is 100 degrees in SLC right now. I love outdoor pools when it's hot and sunny.

Thank you all for your support-I really appreciate it. Those of you who sent me PMs....thank you!!!:heartbeat: My aunt's funeral is next Friday but I am unable to go.

My annual summer vacation turned out not to be a vacation at all, but I am grateful that I could get together with a close friend on Friday.

Nora-104 degrees and no AC???? Could you get a big fan? Would that help? Could the landlord put in another air conditioner?
[MENTION=11089]techie[/MENTION]-great to see you!
[MENTION=2977]Cinders[/MENTION]-congratulations on your 2 years of sobriety.

Drifty-you sure are managing those cravings well...good for you!!!:welldone:.

Pauly-did you go out for breakfast at IHOP this morning?
[MENTION=2634]bird[/MENTION]-I hope you were able to have a relaxing weekend.

Liz-I thought of you on Friday. My dear friend's son-in-law is addicted to games on his phone. He and his wife have 3 little kids and he NEVER helps with the kids because he's too busy playing games on his phone. She came close to filing for divorce once and she is ready to do it again. Nothing gets through to this guy! Are you getting anxious about Mark leaving? I am here for you...big hugs coming your way.

Glassie-I know you're working hard.

I have some work to do before we land so bye for now. Happy AF Sunday/Monday! :-)

Re: One Step at a Time - Dry (And Healthy, Self-Caring) July 2018

Hi Rusty - sorry about the rough trip. I wonder why they waited so long to pull out snacks for the baby. That's still an age where you have to travel with a bag of magic tricks. :victorious:You never know what you will need.
I know it's a hard time right now. Sending you love.

We are watching Peter Gunn right now. I have never seen that show before. It was on before I was born (or soon after) but I've heard of it before. Hubby even has an album.
It's got jazzy music. LOL
