Morning/evening ab fabbers!

Warm and sunny here. I'm not working today and I'm sowing some seeds in pots - radish, mixed salad leaves, basil and wildflowers (to attract some butterflies hopefully!). Then I'm off to the lido later.

It's our parliamentary elections on Thursday next week. I'm posting my vote today and realised that it will be my first sober election! Haha. I'm very interested in politics (sad but true:H) and always want to stay up and watch the results come in on election day (it usually takes until about 3am to know who has won). But, of course, in previous years I've always been drinking and have invariably staggered off to bed before the results are declared. This time will be particularly interesting because we might end up with a hung parliament, and I'm really looking forward to sitting up all night with a cup of tea or two to see what happens. I'm ridiculously pleased that I'll be able to do that.

Anyone else excited about being able to do something AF today?

Morning abberooosss!

Alright marshy!!! Another sober first! More power to ya for looking forward to staying up. I was interested in last night's telecast but fell asleep right near the end. Meaning I didn't make it to 10PM. :H Typical grrrr... Once I fell asleep in a lawn chair during fireworks. :H sober!

I dont' think I have anything new up my sleeve, but I'm sure I can find something to get excited about. (doesn't take much )

Off to see if I can find something.

Any sign of Luke, kate?

Have a terrific AF Tuesday!

AF daily - Tuesday, April 27th

Good morning friends. It is a chilly 25 degrees here! Spring comes and goes.

Marshy, I'm able to enjoy so many more things now that I'm not planning my drinking, drinking or being hungover! I don't even know where to start.

I'm really worried about my sister these days. I've told you guys before about all of her health problems--most stem from her Cushings disease. In January she had diverticulitis that got out of hand and she ended up having emergency surgery and in the hospital for a month. Then back in the hospital for blood clots in her lungs. Now she is back in the hospital with MRSA! She had drains in her abdomen from all the infection for 3 months and that's where the infection is. I don't know how she can survive this. Her body is so weak and immune-compromised. Please say a little prayer for her if you're so inclined!

I am pleasantly surprised that this doesn't make me want to drink. :h

Most certainly sending prayers, LVT :h... what is MRSA?

I know what you mean about being suprised at the absence in desire in what were FORMERLY trigger situations! Love that!!

Afternoon Abbers,

MRSA is methicillin resistant staph a. - a totally aquired hospital infection. It has been a huge problem for years, difficult but possible to treat.
So sorry to hear about your sister LVT, you both will be in my thoughts & prayers.

Greenie, I have to admit the teleconference creeped me out a bit! I was ready to hang up after the first 15-20 min but didn't. I think I have too much going on in my my own head right now. I 'm not feeling fit enough to delve into all that right now.......maybe later

It's not raining, the sun is popping in & out, think I'll go out & enjoy it for a while!
Wishing everyone a terrific AF Tuesday

Which one, the soul planning? I'll bet you were....I was unsettled by the Penelope story and I'm used to this stuff. Free will always throws me. I know what you mean about the head overload. :H "my brain runneth over" :H

Sorry to hear about your sister, LVT. MRSA is a real problem in hospitals here, too.

Lav - how are things going with you? Any resolution with your husband yet?

Greenie - what are these spooky things I'm missing out on?

Leelou - what a relief to have the house to yourselves!

I have the attention span of a fruit fly. I'll have a look...

Oh, yes, I remember you talking about Colin Tipping. I had a look at some of the forgiveness readings on his website before. I think the telecasts are WAY past my bedtime

Greenie - it was the Penelope story that creeped me out! I don't want to be talking to any souls right now, past, present or future.........

Marshy, no Mr Lav resolution. I can't even get him to answer an email right now. I know he's still alive because our daughter saw him on Sunday for a short time. She said he complained about being lonely - no shit! Sorry!

My son is here cutting 2 1/2 acres of grass for me right now - bless him

LVT, what is your sister's first name? (PM me if you prefer) I will ask Sister to put her on the prayer list. 90 nuns is a lot of prayer power, I think anyway. I hope she is somehow able to recover from all of this. :l

Zoom zoom - it's been a busy one and I'm so happy to be AF! My AF enjoyment for the day was noting the similarities and differences between AA meetings and WW (weight watchers) meetings. :H

And I'm feeling oh so 29 with my newly done hair. Gray? What gray?

OK - I'm off to Curves to earn 3 points more food for the week.

LVT - I will keep you and your sister in my thoughts and prayers. That sounds horrendous.:l

Leelou - Happy belated Birthday - isn't 29 just grand!

Lav - sad to hear about the power of denial. I was thinking about you yesterday when my aunt told me my cousin's hubby had suddenly walked out on 15 years of marriage, though 'he still loves her', because 'he is no longer happy'. Then he proceeded to make a scene and was completely uncooperative at their one and only marriage counselling session because 'there is nothing wrong with him and he doesn't need any help'. What can you say. We all grow up in our own good time. Or not.

DG, I found WW really helpful. If you find a group that works for you, that is. In some groups the leader just does monologues, and I don't find that useful.

Marshy, I can't wait for the elections. And I've missed at least two debates!! But I finally got back to London tonight so will have to catch up. Hmmmm, tea? What kind of tea were you planning on? I was thinking maybe Ribena...

I've spent the past few days trimming my dad's bushes. Now it's back to urbanity. Wish we had a garden here. My flatmate is doing the 'potted herbs on windowsills' - thing. Maybe I'll have to go for flowers on the balcony.
