Good morning all - another day on the sofa for me - popping to see friend later for lunch and ER marathon.

I'm making vietnamese pot roast chicken later - low fat recipe with lots of kaffir lime,chilli,ginger,garlic,fish sauce and coriander - mmmmm - that will clear my head.
Will have with steamed rice and bok choi - healthy and yum.

Skating was weird last ngiht - there is a 'clique' that seems to have developed - not liking it. I hadn't really noticed until someone pointed it out - now it's all I see! I guess accept what I can't change - and take what I do enjoy from it.
Hurt my knee yesterday too in a fall - think knee pad slipped and I landed on my knee cap on the solid edge of it - I have a perfectly round numb bruise in the middle of it - ouch!

Well it's nice to be here - it's nice to be sober and it's nice to be honest with people - I'm going to re -read the acceptace thread on aa weekly thread I think. It really spoke to me.

Hi Bear! Your Vietnamese chicken sounds delicious.....
If you didnt notice the clique before dont pay attention to someone elses interpretation, thats all it is, you can choose to see it differently.

Im just enjoying another AF day, I cant believe its the middle of summer already! At the start of my journey I couldnt imagine being sober here in summer, so much going on and so many parties.... which Im now delighted to avoid. Wishing everyone a fantastic day!

Good Morning All,

Quick check in before my boot camp.

Chillgirl, good point about interpretation. We really do have a choice over how we see and interpret things. And, I have found it's easier to choose more positive interpretations when you are AF.

Bear, keep up the good work. Love the chicken recipe.

Hi folk's,

Your making me hungry Bear, Wow!
Yep, we can rise above trivia. Whatever will be, will be. I'm too busy enjoying myself doing my own thing.

A safe, sober, and magical day to all!

Morning Abbers,

Clouds, raindrops, heat & humidity here so far today, ugh!

I kind of over-did the coffee yesterday afternoon, rocked my caffeine level up way too high. That of course resulted in a crappy night's sleep & lots of hostile thoughts...........
Today's mission is to get myself together & back on a happier, centered playing field! I really don't like feeling so negative.

Wishing everyone a terrific AF Thursday! Hope your knee is OK bear

Me too, lav on the caffeine. I had a cup at 6PM and wandered around the house in the wee hours for a while. Not hostile, but not real excited about being awake. I'd been doing good with caffeine. Gotta limit myself to the 2 in the AM and replace those with tea.

Something is stingy on my neck from the woods. Oh PLEASE don't let it be poison ivy!!! I showered and put cortizone cream on it. Prednisone makes me psycho-woman.

Plumber should be here soon and I've got paperwork to do & hopefully pick figs later.

Uni... sounding good!!

Ouch on the knee bear and yum on the dinner!

One thing is for sure....

If I could pull it off I would. Rather young, but after dropping the anti-depressant my libido needs a collar and leash. :H

Hello all! Good day here,, much lower humidity and much better mood. Finally slept pretty well last night for the first time since going AF. It feels so good to be more rested and alert.
Greenie, I can't remember if you said you had checked out any online dating sites. I met my guy on Match.com. (Doesn't mean there is any ______but that's another story!) You might find some good candidates there though. I hope your scratchy area isn't poison ivy. I heard that zinc oxide is good to use on it if it does turn out to be.
Bear your post roast chicken sounds great! I don't know what kaffir is though. A type of yogurt? Sorry about your knee. I've fallen on mine several times and really need to take it to the dr. I keep thinking it'll get better but it doesn't. I've been up babysitting my little great nephew again. He is a doll baby. 18 months old and keeps me very busy! I've had intermittant internet availabilty cuz I couldn't find the charger to my laptop and am having to borrow one.
Mstall, I hope you are still around and doing OK. I have tried tart cherry juice for something good to sip on in the evening. It seems to help. Or any of the dark berry juices like blueberry, currant, blackberry etc. They are good antioxidants too.

Cheer to all
Auntie

Hi everyone,

Just a quick note before bed. To all the of us this week who are doing ok, yeah! Keep going!

I can't imagine going through this week while drinking. I never could have kept everything straight. DH is out drinking with friends tonight and I am SO happy to be here in bed in my robe (yep Greenie I got one too) and tapping away.

I definitely got some hormonal things going on - lots of irregularities which are sort of surprising me at inconvenient times. Like now when all the stores are closed. Where did the days go when I could set my calendar to my body?

On the one hand, I hope DH does not come back toasted (he only very very rarely is what you could call intoxicated). On the other hand I hope he does. Either way I have a feeling he's going to snore all night long and keep me up with the noise and the breath. Guess I can deal with it though so long as it's just once in a while.

Have a Fabbie day!
