    Morning Nesters,

    Just getting moving this morning. It is extremely cold here. I have got take down my tree today. It is easy to put up the decorations but so hard to take them down. I am such a procrastinator.

    Hanging in there, getting a little anxious about my daughter going back to her 7 on Friday and being alone. Getting plans together to keep me super busy, without AL.

    Have a blessed and AF day.

      Hi Rahul!! So good to hear from you, and happy your knee is healing!! You said it here so well. Most of us come here and trip for awhile - until we've just had enough. The point is to keep coming and eventually it will become clear that alcohol leads us back to the same undesirable place EVERY TIME.

      Is there more? Appreciating life and loving ourselves? Well said.

      Getting to the end of accounting hell today (I think) - and then a fun long weekend in the mountains. I have been noticing SO much more how life is just too short to drink through it. PAV, our assistant seems to be keeping me in line.

      Happy Tuesday everyone!

        G man- i took my dog out for a wee, Sunday morning, normally no one is around. There is a tram track in front of old house. We crossed street and I didnt look before starting across tracks. I heard the toot toot, pulled her leash and she slipped out. The tram Just missed her snd she started into the road, there were cars and I froze. I grabbed a tree, I thought we were both going to,be killed. She went flying but I was too scared to look. The crunch sound was so loud.

          amen brydie.
          I had to quit drinking to realize I needed to quit drinking.
          I was the Queen of denial. I still can be but not about this topic as I have seen the light .. Finally!

            Sometimes what you're most afraid of doing is the very thing that will set you free.

                        Very cold but sunny here today! We never got the snow that was predicted, I'm OK with that, ha ha!!

                        Wishing everyone a wonderful AF day ahead!

                          Amazing goings-on in the nest! Wish I had a few minutes to talk about them all but I am off to the rat races, which seem to be particularly ratty lately. Keep it up, guys. Good stuff.

                            Yes, Lav, no sharing my snow! We got way more than the weather people predicted. And to boot, had a two-hour delay for school this morning. Sweet.

                            El, glad you're ok! That was crazy.

                            Have a good day all.

                              LilBit....I will SEE your Rat Race, and raise you one round of Grunt Work.
                              Holy Toledo, yustaday and today have been among the most frustrating I have ever seen in this job (28 years!!) Getting anything done in a large company is like trying to turn around a cargo ship....nothing happens fast. Now I know how the Titanic felt...you can see it's gonna happen, but ain't nuthin you can do about it!!

                              Anyway, great to see everyone staying strong! Have a peaceful day!!! Byrdie
