Good Morning INNmates!!

Satori, Thanks for starting the thread. I was working on an opener and wanted to check on something from yestrdays thread and viola, there you were!! Thanks again!! Wow, what a boring audit! I'm sure they're all not that easy.

We've had record high temps here in central Ohio. 65 degrees yesterday and expected to be in the upper 60s today.

Wonder- Great to see you back!! Time to crank up the lunometer!!

Veno- It looks as if many of the guests had difficulties with Al over the holidays. The new year is a great time for a new commitment.

MM- You had a whole different take on the drinking with hubby theme from yesterday. Its interesting to see how drinking affects relationships. It did nothing good for my relationship with my husband.

Its great to watch your contiuning growth, what an adventure!

July-Thanks for your words of wisdom.

Hannah- Hope you're getting some sleep. Positive vibes on selling your condo and a swift and easy move to the new one.

Everyone have a great day.
Love and Peace
Rob

Good Morning Rob, Satori and all-

Just want to check in and say hi. Still trying to get back into my routines. I think the whole world should get a month off after the holidays to recover. The weather is bizzare here too Rob. Warm. I'm going out for a nice walk this afternoon to soak it in.

Hope everyone is having a good day-

Hello friends....oh how I wish I could really be in The Inn...in a sealed room with everyone who wont get this stomach bug thing (me phobic about it).....I'd got a handle on it but today I have had 3 people tell me all their gory details.....they all want to come to my house...I want to just get on with life...and I sort of do....but every breath is taking courage...stopping drinking was easier than this! Except, being pissed I didn't care so much...which is why I got pissed...and I knew that when this kicked in in my first AF winter it might be hell...and it is....

I've dumped on the &%$?@# thread andthat helped a bit! A bit of anger at this thing that has ruled my life....coz it has and I have absolutely no idea why... don't care any more...just want ti to GO AWAY!

I know Satori - I keep practising...but I am so tired but if I let up for a minute 'it' might get in.....isn't that sooooh daft?

I guess all this is the same procedure as telling my brain I don't need/want aldohol any more....except it isn't working an anything like the same way...stopping drinking was, for me, the absence of drinking...my choice....but I don't feel I have any choice in this....which si really the phobia I guess....all about lack of control.

Eeeek, I am a control freak after all!

I just wish I could go somewhere where I could get a moments peace from this. To relax and to regroup my brain cells into a bit of sense.

So, I shall imagine The Inn and a safe sterile room!! OCD it might be, but do you think there is one, Rob?!?!

I am thinking of you guys too....and hoping your day is going well... Any sign of an offer Hannah?

Love FMS xx

Hello buddies!

Well, got a good nights sleep last night! I took what Finding calls my ?Deb Cocktail? of one 3 gm selenium, 2 valerian, 2 ?Calms Forte? - and because that hasn?t been cutting it for me, I took a Nytol (if anyone if unfamiliar, this is an over the counter sleep aid). Probably would have knocked out a horse! Must say, I slept like a log - got a good solid 9 hours sleep except one trip to bathroom (TMI?) ha! Anyways, amazing what getting some sleep does for your disposition!

Satori - You got it, buddy. We?ll call ourselves the Satori & Hannah Fact Finding Mission! People will tremble at the mention of the name?

Hi Rob, and Lucky (love the ?Twiggy? avator, BTW.)

Wonder - January is always a big kick in the butt (or maybe a relief?) after the excesses of the holidays. Time to pare of a few pounds, get back to the gym, and eat right. I am sitting here in front of the computer munching my way through a big bowl of cut up canteloupe!

Keeta - Yay on day three!!!! Keep on going, no one wants to do those first few days over again!

Finding, We have an extra special room ready for you, my friend. What a time you are going through - this is guaranteed to sooth you - soft music piped in, aromatherapy candles lit, warm bath being drawn, bed turned down, and an appointment with Sven for a massage right in your own room. (Now behave yourself!)

Hope you feel better, and less anxious, soon. Sending good vibes your way!

Thanks for all your well wishes on the sale of our condo! My hubby talked to realtor last night, and was told that this mystery woman who is interested in buying our condo had phoned and told him she was "delayed" in getting back here - presumedly to put down her offer. Otherwise what would she be trying to get back for? Anyhow, seems to be a hurry up and wait situation. i am doing my best to think positively, and it helps a lot to have had a good night's sleep.

July - Thanks so much for your note, I appreciate your input, concern, and wisdon. Hubby and I do go walking in the summer, but doesn't work so well in the winter! But yes, we do connect that way as well, and also play golf in the summer....just that we (and I myself too) enjoy our suppers out....just takes a little more vigilance on my part, and when I am happy and up, and not stressed out, I have no problem with the mods....So, must quite obsessing about everything that is beyond my control......

Well, must go do a few things....talk to you later....have a good day everybody! Attached files [img]/converted_files/406640=2114-attachment.jpg[/img]

Hannah - you sweetheart! That is a lovely room :upset: then

....

Feeling a bit calmer now....thanks. Now I am both hacked off at myself and, I supose, a bit 'pleased' I looked after myself and didn't go to my first drumming of this term... Sad to be a woos but glad to know the line I wasn't happy to cross...I just so want to move that line! To outer orbit! I can't not go places I love becuase of 'germs'....?!?!

Just eating some supper - tiny plateful but something! Back later but wanted to say thanks....and grettings to all!

Love FMS xx :h

Our TV's just jokingly called all this media hype about 'germs', "Panicus Tabloidus".....I like that!

I'm going to rest up in Hannah's lovely room.....oh to relax!!! Perleeeeeze!

Keeta - well done!!!

Hi Wonder!I thought of you on New Years' Eve and took a photo for you! I'll try and post it!!!

PS Not me or anyone I know!!

Rob and Satori and all to come...hello!

Good Evening All!! My various organizing projects are going slowly. I can't seem to get my organizing organized, doing it rather piece meal. I cannot seem to get myself to spend four hours on sorting and placing all of the Christmas things in their proper places. But I do have them all pretty well sorted and about half in their containers. I've also got most of the top of my desk cleared off and my CDs in order. I just keep telling myself it will eventually be done. In between, I've been paying bills and collecting tax info.

I think this is my version of the post holiday crazies. After all of the planning, listmaking, meal making and organizing for the holidays, I'm just over it. However, I do not want to miss out on putting out some of my nicest treasures because I can't find them as I did this year so I just have to tuck it up and keep going.

FMS- I hope you are feeling less anxious. If it makes you feel better we can start construction on a reverse Isolation room. I'm not making fun, it must be horrible to be so paralyzed by fear of something you can't even see. Any idea where this came from?

Hannah- Hope your mystery woman shows up with a big, big check!! Gotta love that Nytol, it may not be natural but if it works, it works! The thought of you and Satori teaming up on anything, scares me to death!!

Hey Lucky!!!

Wonder- Jump in here girl, let us know what your angel has been up to.

Keeta - Wonderful going on day three. Welcome!!

Hope everyone has a great evening.

Love and Peace
Rob

Ha ha ha FMS!!! Good one! Thanks for thinking of me and....... an actual photo too !! You're so cool....... I missed my Angel (who Hannah gave me). He just looks so..... so....... capable......... and confident. Cheers me up every time.

Keeta - WAY TO GO! on those 3 days. Rah! rah! keep going!

Hannah - I know. This is the time of year i have to really fight to keep moving and not give into winter somberness. I dream of living where there's no winter. I think it will happen someday

Nighty night all and sweet dreams ! been a good AF day for me -

I am feeling better right now than I have in as long as I can remember. I worked out this morning and again tonight! On day 8 of my healthy eating plan and feeling fantastic inside oand out!

Well... I'm off to do a bit of reading and see what's going on around here. Glad to see everyone is doing well and checking in.
