Bruun's Titting UP

Happy Sunday Brutus and friends.

Brenda & rudyb, I'm glad you both wrote about taking the time to relax and meditate. I have a lot I want to get done today, and I have low grade stress due to an upcoming test. (what an awareness opportunity this whole school thing has been!) When I read your words, I took a very deep breath and closed my eyes for a moment and did a gratitude reflection. Wow - what a difference. This is a good reminder meds or no meds.

I hope everyone has a great day. :l

dg, good luck on your test! i remember school being very emotionally challenging. i was somehow accepted into an advanced anthropology class once upon a time, and boy did i feel green-vermont-dumb in that one! sheesh! so many of the kids i went to college with were private-school educated and from fancy backgrounds. not me! it was humbling, but my advisor was a dream, and she helped me believe in my own intellect. i keep meaning to thank her for that!

i'm up to my eyeballs in crank this sunday morning. i mean, i am grouchy as a monster in a trash can. life as it is with my son is just not sustainable! i have NO reliable breaks, except when on my commute, when my time is my own. i never get to sleep in, i always have to answer to his, 'mommy?', every time he has something to say. i'm trying to train him just to SAY IT, with out the introduction. this morning he is not doing that and it is making me CRAZY! single parenting is a bitch, but i always come back to how much better it is than living under the same roof as a total effen ass hole. (sad thing is, today g is in the best of spirits, making the most of his lack of warm gloves, for example, and outside scraping the snow off the car. maybe i just didn't get enough sleep, cause thanks to the gods i'm not hungover!)

wish me luck. the run won't happen 'till noon, but that's when today will be at its warmest: a balmy 39 degrees!

how you feeling today, bruun?

Roo, I read your thread first today and posted there about my time at the party last night in response to hearing about yours. I couldn't remember where I had intially posted the details! You and Bruun both have such nice campfires to hang out at, that I just feel like sharing at whichever one I happen to sit down at. But to keep things easy to follow, I went ahead just now and edited that post and am copying the bit about the party here:

The party last night was a lot of fun. It rained ALL night long, but my friends and I were prepared with umbrellas, and the club had a bag check, which was nice. Makeup came out great and I got tons of compliments on my costume. I didn't drink, but did something else instead. It was definitely an intense feeling, neither good nor bad. But I could not sit or stand still for too long. I wanted to be everywhere at once and talking to everyone. I was already with a cool group of people, and met a few others. The crazy (and more often than not, very revealing) costumes were an easy way to start up a conversation. It was one of those nights that was over before you knew it! I ended up not feeling like dancing much, so my knee is faring just fine today. A bunch of us hung out at the hotel room afterwards and didn't get to sleep until about 7am! Slept just a few hours then went out for breakfast. So far, I don't feel too much the worse for wear. Mostly relaxed and mellow, and I'm good with that. The only thing I have to do today is carve a jack-o-lantern for tomorrow. It's not pouring today like it was yesterday, but is overcast and windy with drizzle. A perfect day to relax inside!

so rudyb - did you get your run in today? "grouchy as a monster in a trash can." :egad: hope that has passed for you!!

Is - so happy to hear you had fun at the party!! Did you get a picture with your professional makeup and all? Would love to see that! I would imagine staying up having fun with friends, then catching only a few zzz's before breakfast works much better without a hangover. I was always hungover X10 for that sort of thing and then tried to "man up" and not let on how much I was suffering. Oy. Too old for that any more!

Hi Bruun and all the other friends! Hope you are all having a good day. Brutus I'm thinking of you. What can we do to help you out of your funk?

Yes, Is, since you and L are already on here in picture form, you might as well share your costume and friends' picks for us!

I'm working on it DG, definitely stepping in here and having Brenda remind me to sit and take the space to focus, its like any good feeling in my body, I'm almost always out of my body unless the pain is unbearable, I'm one of those in the doctor's office not remembering the first day of my last period nor when the pain in my knee/foot/boob started. I need to focus on that. Thinking about the ADD thing - I need to research on natural remedies for ADD - any of you experienced in the ADD therapy know anything else besides RX to help? I hate to add more RX especially the ones that challenge blood pressure issues which I can't afford to do until I'm a little more mellow in the intake of AL.

Is, bought more of the good shit today, so funky in there its scary to drink but its almost halloween so seems appropriate to shake it up and drink the funk down into my seriously thankful gut.

Thanks for all the good vibes - Roo I heard on NPR today a person whose power got shut off by the powerlines and thought it could be you as she said she called all her neighbors over to each bring something and their families and they had a fire going, the communal food sharing, the kids playing non-video/non-tv games like in the good old fashioned days - assisted by a working generator to cook by, but I knew it wasn't you because of the wine she mentioned there too - I know you to be a beer drinker mostly even if you do drink.

Also wanted to say that in Sprouts today which is the local Whole Foods (but no raw milk, wtf?) and has the good kombucha but no Kefir either? I don't get it. I have to hit two natural food markets AND the supermarket and the farmers market weekly? So much for convenience in the modern age.

So whilst browsing the natural products for hair and skin care, I found myself squinting at a label that looked to say Sore Red Ass and I thought, I have a sore ass but it ain't red so I looked closer and unfortunately I don't recall what the whole label said but when changing my avi I googled sore ass and thus the new avi. I promise to relook and try to remember the label of the red ass natural treatment as soon as next week. And no I didn't mean sore ass HOLE Pete.

Hope I changed my avi in time to be cool.

Bruun, did you try the spread gabapentin thing yesterday?

What does your demotivational say? The writing is too too small.

hmmmm. It's all fun and games until someone pokes an eye out. just sayin

Hope everyone's week is full of slime filled drinks that include mother. ()

Me? I'm sticking with the tried and true MnM/whatever's left in the trickortreat bag. We don't really get trick or treaters, but for some reason I am always well prepared for hundreds of 'em. Ah, well, maybe next week. But I am going to run, and lift a weight or six. Everyday this week. I say it here to make it cement. (I am still beholden to you all on mwo, even when I can't be to myself!)

Better get to it, the suns up! Hoping for lots of other good, healthy, wholesome things for all of us! (I mean planning on it. Right? Planning... Need a good DG reminder probably about Wednesday...)

As it so happens, I did! It's not the best pic of me, as I've got sort of a wonky smile on, but since you all know what I look like normally anyway, I won't get hung up on that. You can see the makeup really clearly though, I was really happy with it!! I even got fake eyelashes! Nothing too crazy, as I'd never worn them before, just something to make mine own look fuller and longer.

Oddly enough, I felt wide awake the whole rest of the day. I thought I would be dead tired and spending most of the day in bed, but I felt pretty good! And I only had 2 small cups of coffe at breakfast (well, that was at noon!) with everyone the next morning. And I ended up getting a GREAT night's sleep last night, which hasn't happened in ages. Slept for 8 1/2 straight hours! I still feel tired this morning, as it didn't quite make up for the lack of sleep yesterday, but I'll make it through.

Stop pickin on SP, Brenda. Or you may find my foot very close to your asshole. Yours will hurt too! :H

Hi Is, you look great! I've missed the last few pages here, so I'm not sure what's all happened. I'll have to catch up before I comment anymore!

Looking good Is, although I'd say your smile is more skew-whiff than wonky. Well, at least synonyms.com does :H

Thanks Red, but there's no need to worry about Brenda's sad attempts at teasing. I'm not sure if you've heard her story, but it's quite tragic. I'll let her tell it again if she's up to it, but constant Scurvy attacks are involved, and she was born with a rare, incurable lazy eye that she covers with an eye patch. Needless to say, she's an old, bitter virgin.

Hi Brutus, Is, LadyLush, Red, rudyb, Brenda, Pete, Ne, and anyone else who comes along or is lurking!!

I felt better too after the Brenda reminder to sit and relax and focus!! (I need to do that again right now as a matter of fact!!)

I hate to add more RX especially the ones that challenge blood pressure issues which I can't afford to do until I'm a little more mellow in the intake of AL.

If you really think this might be an issue, would it be worth while to see a psychiatrist just to talk about it, be properly assessed? My sponsee swore that starting the meds (she is not on ritalin (sp) it's something else - I need to write down what) made a HUGE difference in her ability to stay clean. She told me yesterday it just helps her so much with impulse control in a variety of areas of her life. Dunno....might be worth seriously looking into.

BEAUTIFUL makeup Is!! Love the EYES!!! You are such a pretty woman. How fun with the eylashes and all! Wow - 8.5 hours of sleep straight. I am mighty jealous.

My knees would be in trouble - not my eyes.

OMG I have so much to do today and started very early but am already behind. Deep breath. Relaxation. Gratitude meditaion. I can handle this. The sun is out and I'm gong to get some steps on this pedometer even if the rest of this crap sits undone!

Have a great day one and all!
