Good morning! Feeling fine this morning....even though, like you Lav - this weather sucks. The long range forecast shows nothing but rain until at least NEXT Wednesday...Let's hope they're wrong.
I have the cutest little hummingbird that likes my yellow hanging baskets out front. I just put up blinds rather than lace curtains, so I can see him really well sitting here!
The weather and my determination to not drink by keeping busy - has led me to have about a million half started projects around the house...I finally got the wood blinds installed on the whole house - have to finish painting my kitchen cabs - painted my bedroom a year ago and don't like it so I'm contemplating a different wall color - and yesterday I started painting the knotty pine in my laundry room that I've been wanting to do for years. And I have a boatload of flowers on the back deck to put into pots as soon as I dare go outside....
Is this typical???? I hope I don't crash and burn.
"I think one of the dozens of reasons I drank was to drown out the mind chatter...it just numbed me over and all I had to worry about was getting the next drink. Now, I have to deal with the things that are going on up there and sort them out...that's the big difference, I think. Not sure I'm saying that the right way, but maybe the nest will know what I mean." Byrdie, I DO know exactly what you mean. Maybe that's why all the projects...I don't know how to sort out those thoughts and some are leading to actions. My hubby must think I'm crazy!:H
It's funny, yesterday, working on my laundry room project, I really craved a drink. I really thought about it and almost decided that "projects" might not be the best thing for me to do - as I would typically drink while doing a project....but then I realized that I would typically drink while doing anything - :H seriously. Read a book with a nice glass of wine, take a bath with a glass of wine, cook dinner with a glass of wine, paint my bedroom with a big glass of "water" which was 1/3 vodka...plant flowers with the glass of "water" - sit at the computer with my glass of "water" - ...so I guess at this point there isn't much I CAN do that won't initiate cravings - so I will continue to drink selzer and pom juice and try to surf those urges...I did it yesterday and all I can do is keep trying.
