September to Remember - Week 4

Good morning friends,

Grey skies here today too - no wonder it's so hard to wake up!!
Work this morning for me then babysitting this afternoon.
When it comes to gift shopping ladies, 90% of mine is done via internet. There is nowhere to shop nearby unless I wantto go to Tractor Supply I actually did pick up gift cards there for my kids last year!!
Have a good day everyone, I'll check back later.

September to Remember - Week 4

Pushed myself way too hard and far last night and ended up going right over the edge. I have to backpedal and keep things simple; I seem to have limited internal resources right now and I clearly use alcohol for fuel when I get excited or feel overextended. I have to go back to making not drinking my number one priority and let the rest fall where it falls. This whole thing can be so hard. Poo. Love, Ladybird.

LBH-Are U okay? Yes this whole thing can be so hard sometimes. Yet there are days that are absolutely wonderful. I learned the hard way that I must keep my sobriety my #1 priority. As you said, the rest will fall where it falls. I hope you are getting some rest today. :l

Evening All,

Oh Ladybird. Today's another day and you're so polite about it. I wouldn't be saying poo I'd be shouting SH**. Onwards and upwards.:l

Thanks for the reminder,Lav. I've also got birthdays before Christmas which I completely forgot about. One of them is my brother!

Dill, although I've started Christmas shopping I'll be running round on Christmas Eve panic buying and denting the credit card.

Love to you all.

Thank you Jackie and Lil. It really helps to know I am not going to get quietly lost somewhere forever. Thank you for looking out for me. Out of the ditch and back on the path, Ladybird.

Ladybird, I am sorry you fell into that nasty ditch, but you managed to climb back out and get back on solid ground. I completely understand the statement: I seem to have limited internal resources right now and I clearly use alcohol for fuel when I get excited or feel overextended.

You are going to be fine. Stick with us. We'll get each other through.

Lav, I thought I was the only one that did Christmas shopping at the local Farm Supply store!:H

Hi JC and Lil!

LBH welcome back - sorry you fell but you did the right thing coming straight back here.
I hope you have had a good day and get a decent sleep - that always helps I find.
I've had a busy old day, spent quite a lot of time supporting a friend who's had bad news and I'm shattered now so bed for Sooty.
Take care everyone see you tomorrow

September to Remember - Week 4

Hi everybody. I love hearing about you and it is good to get out of my head and into yours! I hope you have a peaceful evening (or morning or afternoon). Thank you for pointing me in the right direction; I won’t let anything bad happen to you either. Love, Ladybird.

Good Evening all,

Lav, Soots, Dilly, LBH, JC, you guys are just great. I've spent the day with my 89 yr old Mother. I love her dearly but she can really push the buttons. It's so nice to get on here and read such positive comments. Even during the rough times.

Hoping everyone a peaceful evening.

September to Remember - Week 4

Evening friends,

The grey skies turned in sunshine, go figure! Strangely, I ended up kicking on the AC - way too humid for me. I'm developing Q Tip hair again, groan....

LBH & Sooty, I'm sorry to hear you've had some tough time. I'll be glad to send each of you a gigantic dose of Lavan-ittude. It helps in virtually any situation
LBH, whatever it was that threw you off track just push it away and apply a big dose of my homemade attitude - no kidding! This is no time to be nice & polite - this is fighting time

Hello to Lil, hope your laundry is caught up!
JC, I think you have some of my attitude going on, don't you?

Dill, the kids didn't blink an eye when they received their Tractor Supply gift cards last Christmas. My son went and stocked up on dog food & toys for the 'Insanity Twins' and my daughter picked up a good pair of outdoor work shoes. I just may end up getting them more gift cards this year

Well, my afternoon plans were changed at the last minute so I didn't watch my grandson. I used the free time to empty out the cabinet under my kitchen sink - I found a leak there............ Now to find a plumber in this neck of the woods!

Wishing everyone a good night & strength for a good tomorrow.
Lav

One last check in for me, too!

I am content this evening and am very happy to be sober! I most certainly do not want to spend the rest of my evenings passed out drunk!!! Let's keep each other on the road and headed in the right direction.

LBH and Lil, I googled hoodoos. You guys are SO LUCKY to get to see such things!

Night Lav, sooty, JC, pnut, Sunni, Pamina, and all else. (Darkie, are you still out there? I miss hearing from you.)

September to Remember - Week 4

Thank you for mentioning Darkie, Dill, I have been thinking about her also. I think I’ll send her a PM later and see if she is OK. Have an early day at work so hello and goodbye everybody and I’ll check in later. Steaming ahead, pile on the money, skip the booze. Love, Ladybird.

September to Remember - Week 4

Good morning September friends,

Lil, we cross posted as usual yesterday! I imagine it could be difficult dealing with your elderly Mom. My Mom passed away at the age of 65, so long ago, still miss her a lot.

Dill, LBH, hope you both have a great Thursday! I hope Darkie is OK, she hasn't been around in quite some time. I wish there was an easier way to keep track of everyone.

I have some work this morning while waiting for a call from the plumber (kitchen sink leak), a dental appointment this afternoon, blah, blah, blah...........

Strength to all.
Lav

Good Morning Everyone,

LBH-You're up and at it early. On word and upward friend.

Lav-It's raining here. As it has since I got home. I'm back to Q-tip hair. It was single digit humidity out west. I really liked not having frizz head hair! Waiting for the plumber and then going to the dentist? Yikes!

Dill, Sooty-I know you guys will be here soon.

Hope everyone has a good day.

LBH I looked kashe katuwe up - what amazing sights, you are so lucky to be able to go there, one envious Sooty here.
(i can also see what might make little boys laugh too)
Good day going on here, lovely autumn day, loads of spiders around - everything outside covered in cobwebs! (bit like the corners inside my house)
I went to pilates this morning so I've got my core muscles strengthened, just need to work on all the outside ones now!
Have a good day everyone, Darkie please come back.
Lil, Lav, Sunni, Dill, Chicken, Pnut, pam, Jackie, bound to have missed someone but it wasn't intentional - have a good day one and all.
See you all this evening
Sooty
