Morning gang!
Another cold wet morning here. I really don't think I am going to get anything growing in my veggie patch!! It has actually snowed in the south of the province and in Alberta!!! Snow in June is never a good thing. Hopefully the forcast is correct and we have some warm weather coming our way.

Dill - good luck today with your work load. And yes - just 2 ciggies a day before bed - same habit as my old pappy in his younger years. UNLESS, I am drinking wine, and then I smoke way more. Which is why drinking wine is so bad for me on more than one front!!!! Hard to get long runs in after smoking half a pack of cigarettes and a litre of wine!!!! The dual addiction for sure!

It's your birthday SD?? Well!!! Have a great, stupdendous, wonderful day - and I say, what a wonderful gift to have your son's health on the mend!! Anything planned?? Eat well - lots of cake!!!

Hi to Sooty, Lavande and Firefox too, and CS (if she drops by!!!) and everyone else on this fabulous website.

I am thinking I will stop by the doctor office and get some paper work for some more blood work. I find I am so thirsty these days, all the time. And, tired tired tired - always. My lights were out by 11 last night and still was having a hard time rousing myself at 8 this morning (I had planned on a 7am rising, but just couldn't do it!!) Plus, all these dizzy spells I seem to have. I know my blood pressure is on the low side, but maybe I should have my blood glucose, thyroid (thyroid probs run in my family) and I'm not sure what else checked. Usually, exercise just gives me more energy, and it does for a while, but overall, I am feeling quite worn out.

Alright - must get some work done around here!
Have a great June 9!

HI ALL!!
WOW!!
I'm having a late check in here today?!?!?
Thanks Dill and Peanut for the birthday wishes:l
Peanut, it totally sounds like you need to get to the doctor!! That's nothing to mess with...but it sounds like you've got a handle on what needs to be checked out..that's good...maybe they'll say....TOO MUCH RUNNING?!??! LOL!! I'm kidding!!! To the girl who got sore cleaning her windows....I'm just jealous of people in shape!!
Dill--hope your final days of school are going smoothly and those reports haven't gobbled you up!!! Relaxation is NEAR!!!:bath2: Hey what happened to the smiley face on the beach??? That's where I was trying to put you....little less "personal"!!!!:l
Have a great night everyone!!!

Pnut, I love your new avatar! Are those your feet? I'm glad you're going to go get yourself checked out. I didn't know you were still having the dizziness. Maybe you are anemic? Tired, light-headed. Could be anemia or low blood pressure. Find out!

SD, Now it is ONE day left. I got all my testing done, scored, written up, and IEPs written. Only one kid was a no show. Tomorrow, the meetings. That's actuallly the easy part!

Hey sooty, lavande, firefox! Hope you're doing well and meeting your goals.

I made it another day! I really am appreciative of you getting back on board with the AF June, Pnut. I believe if I had a slip, I might have thrown in the towel. I think you are so awesome for plowing forward. I don't care what you say, I say you and SD both have a "WOS"! Me too, with the help of this Jumpin' June thread!

Hey Dill - ya - my new avatar, a bit more realistic than the last!!! ha!! those are my big feet! I'm thinking about getting some trail running shoes tomorrow and trying them out. My eldest daughter is arriving at 10:15 am tomorrow, so will take the morning off and maybe even the afternoon to try get a long long run/walk in. At least I will have brunch with her before she has to run off with her friends!

I am going to drag my ass to the pool. I never did stop of the dr. office. I am wondering if it has alot to do with hormones, and perimenopause or something. I'm approaching 48 yo and things have been changing alot the last half year or so. I already was checked for anemia and a couple other things, and was ok and felt just this way then too, so who knows. Hormones can play lovely tricks on a gal, eh?

Another day AF, but having wine thoughts. Not sure why again. I shall not drink tonight!!!!!

It is morning here, and morning resolve is all around. However, I think we have all been struggling with resolve here in the afternoons/evenings. Has anyone wondered lately why they thought AF June was a good idea? Especially since we are one third of the way through June and have been DF (drunk free) long enough that we are feeling pretty good? We have control, don't we? What would be the harm? Etc.... Well, on the other hand, ask yourself: Why is this such a big deal to have a drink? What is compelling me to want one? Plenty of people go through life without drinking (especially too much) every day! Let's make a stab at reminding ourselves why we are here! I'll start. Then, whoever comes next, copy and paste this list and add to it!

1. Last time I tried to "have just one" I woke up in the middle of the morning with a head ache and my heart pounding. Just one turned out to be just one 750 ml bottle. Ugh.

Goodmorning Dill and everyone,

Regardless of what's going on, I'm still sure it was a good idea to stay AF in June. I'll add #2 to the list.

1. Last time I tried to "have just one" I woke up in the middle of the morning with a head ache and my heart pounding. Just one turned out to be just one 750 ml bottle. Ugh

2. Last time I tried to "have just one" back in March I called my sister-in-law and made an ass of myself. Now she won't talk to me anymore. Sad.

Hello Jumpers,

I just wanted to say HI! I have been following your thread and think it's really a good one. I tried to type a post yesterday, but got interrupted by youngest trying to get out the door to school. I too am trying to stay AF for the remainder of June and I AM DOING IT. I started June 3rd.

I wish I could add to your list, but I have to admit: I never ever think about having just one (maybe two). The last couple of times I overdid it, I clearly thought I was going for at least 1/2 the bottle and was okay if I finished the whole thing. It has been very deliberate and calculating. Of course, I would think the next day "What were you thinking DUMB A$$". I think I had myself convinced I would feel normal and fine the next day and that I was controlling it this way.

I see your point though Dill, but I have no answer as of yet to that. Wish I did.

Babbling....again....

Well, keep up the good list and I'll just insert "Last time I tried to just have a few".

1. Last time I tried to "have just one" I woke up in the middle of the morning with a head ache and my heart pounding. Just one turned out to be just one 750 ml bottle. Ugh

2. Last time I tried to "have just one" back in March I called my sister-in-law and made an ass of myself. Now she won't talk to me anymore. Sad.

3. Last time I tried to "have just one" I woke up the next day very tired and blew off my excercise routine and felt utterly worthless and like AL had won again. UGH...

Hmmmm..... I could think of several things to write, but the last time I really got wasted - without intending too - was in May.

5. Last time I tried to "have just one" I left my camera out in a party house full of kids and lost it and all my boys grad pictures cuz I couldn't keep track of anything (thankfully, it was returned, but did I ever feel like shite for a while there!)

Okay...I'm going to tell about the last time I got wasted (by accident) which was the first time I drank in May after doing the AF April....

6. Last time I tried to "have just one" I was on a first date, tried to walk to the bathroom and instead walked straight into the wall that was all mirror!!! Then on the drive home called him a p*$$y for not running the red light in front of a cop! Why did he want a "REDO" date?????

7. Last time I tried to ''have just one'' I made a pass at my good friends husband then blacked out. I am in a very happy relationship and do not fancy this other guy at all what was I thinking? Yep just truly utterly pissed on that ''just one''.

Hi all my problem is that I don't even try to have just one - unless its one bottle! That's why I'm better off without it at all.
Still AF through June and determined to get to the end of the month
Good luck to all of us, stay strong

Lilb--the thing was...after that...I hid behind a huge column thinking I'd stay behind there...."hidden"...like a three year old who closes her eyes because then no one can SEE HER...then I scoped out the room looking for the actual exit...when I think enough time has passed...walk out from behind the column as if nothing has happened and go to the bathroom. Funny thing is...NO ONE I was with ever said anything...I eventually told them-- which they all thought was hilarious...but they thought I made it up!! My first date was with a group of people so it wasn't so awkward...ya know, until my 3 martini...and I took his hand and ran him down our Main Street looking for the strip bars yelling "I know you wanna look at TA-TAS"!!! Oh did I leave that part out when I tried to "have just one"....:H
BEYOND IDIOT!!!!!!!
