ODAT - Friday

[Bessie]

Morning all. Too much sun and too much Al yesterday. Not today though. I wanted to go for an Al free July but that just isn't the way to do it. Too big a goal for me at the moment. One Day At A Time. That is the only way.

Got a lot of 'stuff' to do today (when don't I?!!) though I will go to visit some nice gardens about 10 minutes down the road to pick up some tickets to give to my next holiday guests. I've lived here 14 years and never been to the gardens before!!

Dinner at a local pub with friends tonight - going to have to work on my strategy for that one.

Good luck with every one else for their strategy for the day.

That's tough Bessie - it will be just too tempting for me. Take care of yourself.

ODATERS!!!

Got l-glute?

ODAT - Friday

Wow, Catch22. You have a great memory! Mines not so good! Hope you all know I always wish every single person on here my very best for their success!


Yep, Green, I got my L-Glut. I am thinking of upping my doses even. I am taking 2 1000 mg twice a day as directed. I think it would benefit me to take more!

Taking the L-Glut does "help" with the cravings, but that old habit just sometimes takes over. I found myself bored with a bottle of wine last night. Funny thing is, I really did not have a desire to get drunk, and I actually DID NOT get drunk on a bottle of wine. (drank very slow and ate alot of food with it)

Is it progress if you drink but dont get drunk or even care that much to get drunk with glass in hand???? Hmmmmm.... Heck I dont know!!!

NOT drinking today, working all day and its my norm to not drink the day after.

Enjoy your day my friends, and have no regrets for today!!!

Love,

Overit

Good morning, everyone. I awoke to a gentle rain (mingled in with the stream on the MYO CD) and no hangover, no anxiety, no shame, no dread. Not a bit, I looked everywhere, and could not muster up a shred. No matter what happens today, just starting out this way can only be a really good (and novel) thing. I wish you well today and all days. Love, Ladybird.

Hi guys - still going strong here. Slept in a bit - last day at the cottage. I do have to go into the office on Monday and then to my doctors for the note for a couple of weeks off. I feel really guilty about that but then the anxiety of my job kicks in and I remember why I need a couple of weeks off.

Hope everyone has a great day and does it ODAT.

Love and hugs,
Uni

ODAT - Friday

Woowoo for all! It's a holiday here in the US. Independence day (Observed). The actual independence day is tomorrow, but we're all allowed Friday off. Of course, I'm the Boss so I decided that, but I did it based on the stock market, post office and banks.

We are so warm this morning, it's just like a perfect day of childhood summer camp. I wish I could be like a child and have no cares. I'm going to try. I went to the farmer's market yesterday and got some fresh eggs, chevre cheese, and early potatoes. I'm going to try to make a nice fresh omlette with herbs from our garden.

Our whole lives are just a matter of perspective. I can't recall any worry or angst in my childhood, at least not more than normal. I hate one of my neighbors (a homeowner no less, but young) who gathers with her friends on her porch at 4am for a bit of a party. But that only brings to mind that I can OWN my own home, which is historically not really the case. In the "6000" years of history, very few people actually owned their home. And my neighborhood is very quiet, such that I can be disturbed. So I think it's important to keep in mind how special it is, rather than how I was annoyed.

In the future maybe my retirement will fail another 2-3 times. My sleep will be disturbed. I will get unhealthy and go to the hospital. And all through it, maybe a fresh berry or a fingerling potato from a farmer's market will remind me, it's all just a matter of perspective.

BTW - If I see one more reference to MJ on TV I'm going to Barf! There! I did it. I'm going outside now!
