    Newbies Nest

    Afternoon. Thought I would check in early this afternoon. My step-dragon, ooops step daughter is coming for dinner tonight and she never knows when to leave so wont be able to get back on here later.

    Yes Spam. I am alot happier. I have spoken often of not having a voice but I am turning that around now. And the taking back of Hippy Chick involved explaining to the stalker why this is my sacred space. It took effort but I did it. It felt so empowering, and now I am trying to speak up when I need to. Just not drinking isnt working for me. I was told at the start that if all you change is the contents of your glass, you will struggle. And that is so true. Lav also told me when I started that I am an adult now, not a child and that has finally sunk too. If I dont do it for ME, who will?

    Pap - well done to you too for speaking up and saying no to AL.

    Tantangra - Wednesday is my only day I get the house to myself too and I love it. I loved your story about your mum. It is amazing when fate steps in and alters our lives and what seems like the worst thing at the time, actually turns out to be a blessing.

    Hi Tranq - hope everything is going well with you know who!

    Look forward to catching up with you all tomorrow. Stay strong and focused.

    I finally got it!

      Everyone sounds pretty chipper tonight.

      Thanks for the well wishes. I go to see the specialist at 10.30am tomorrow. I had a scare a few years back but it turned out to be nothing to worry about. I found this out after 3 months of worrying and thinking what would happen to my young kids if I die, etc. I wrote poetry and short stories about cancer, and thought about doing a video for my kids to watch after I died. When I turned up for the appointment, the specialist was surprised that I'd brought my husband. He sent the results to my GP who said I had "Breast Mice" (the common term, obviously). They are cysts that grab onto muscle tissue and turn up anywhere they please. After all that angst I found out I had mice in my tits! :H
      Hoping that it's something similar this time, as I can't find anything for the life of me.

      Love the picture Mama. I'm not brave enough to share mine as I would be instantly recognisable in my town. Thanks for the offer to cry on your shoulder if I need to. I'll definitely be taking that up.

      Welcome to the newbies. Stay safe on your twigs all.

                  Good morning Nesters,

                  Still busy around here, that's great!!

                  Tant, thank you for sharing the story about your parents. I have no desire to end my marriage but it will end if Mr Lav cannot pull his S--t together. He is stuck in his child-like self centered thinking! He's very negative even when nothing is wrong. His parents were crappy people, did a lot of damage to him & his siblings. They've all been in therapy at one time or another. I will fight tooth & nail to keep from being dragged into his negativity cave again...........it was way too unhealthy for me.

                  Tranq, thanks for keeping an eye on the nestlings

                  HC, so glad you found the strength to exercise your adult voice!!! Now if I can get Mr Lav to put away his wounded child ego - we'll all be happy!

                  Dancingon, best of luck to you! Fibrocystic breast diease is a pain in the butt to live with but not fatal. I know I've been called back several times to have extra films done - wracks your nerves!

                  Hello to Sunni, Chool, MB & absolutely everyone in the Nest today - have a good one

                            Good-morning everyone,

                            Had a rough day yesterday but made it through.
                            Today is the start of day-8 AF and that feels good.
                            I decided instead of given in to the AL...that I would get the focus off of me and reach out to others.
                            I know there will be more bad days ahead but I am not going to worry about that now. Today is starting out great and that is what counts at this moment.
                            Wishing everyone a great day!
