September Serenity - Week 2

PAguy, I hope you are recouping well today. My thoughts are with you.

Rebirth, I am in the same boat as Rustop. I have not achieved long term sobriety and have not achieved the full commitment yet, but am still working at it.

Lav, thanks for the info on tapping. Very interesting!

Cyn, the Body Scan is a guided meditation technique by Jon Kabat-Zinn in his Book/Cd set: The Mindful Way Through Depression. I am not actually diagnosed with depression, but it is helpful in general in stabilizing my mood. Sooty is the one who told me about it.

Star, Thank you for the long post describing the wedding. It was wonderful to read. It brought back memories of my daughter's wedding two years ago. I'm happy for you, especially that you achieved your goals for the event.

Mr. G, Sped, LBH, Papmom, Sooty, Rusty, Rustop and all who stop by, have a great AF day.

Happy Hump Day!

Happy Hump Day to you Dill & everyone!!!!

Well, the AC is back on - summer is not quite over around these parts. I've found that I sleep better when it's cool & quiet. Sometimes the 'nature noise' is annoying coming thru open windows. I'm not sure what it is I hear at night - fox??

Waiting for the phone call from the post office.......my chicks are due to arrive any time now

John, hope you rested well! The morning after surgery is not a whole lot of fun, I remember. But we continue to think about you & collectively raise your vibrational level

Time to get caught up on a bit of work.
Wishing everyone a Happy Hump Day!

Lav

Happy hump day my serene friends!

I decided to try to sell some jewellery to help get me by finacially for a few months and there was this company advertizing to say they's be at a hotel today buying 2nd hand watches and gold. I went all the way there only to find that its tomorrow not today! I took this as a sign this is not a good idea for now....

Lav - my AC has finally gone off this week as the temperature has dropped nicely down to 27c/79f but it takes adjusting to sleep in a warmer room again and I have been oversleeping.

Dill - Thank you for the quote, I could not agree more!

September Serenity - Week 2

Happy humpday everyone, the sun is shining today and I've just got home after a long walk with Mr S - it was glorious to be out. Very therapeutic!

John I'm so glad that your op is over and I hope that recovery comes smoothly - one thing is for certain it will be a better recovery now that you are AF.

I will look up tapping, I have done a little in the past but its always good to revisit things.

Lav I hope the chicks arrive safe and well, they are lucky to be arriving at such a good home.

Chill I hope you manage to sell your jewellery soon.

RB hope you're feeling 100% again

Love to all I haven't mentioned. I'll spend longer on my next message

Have a good day gang
love Sooty

September Serenity - Week 2

Morning everyone,
I was wondering when week #2 was going to start.
Lav, summer's not over here either. Still in the low 90's yesterday. I am just craving cool weather, when you can work all day in your yard without fear of heat stroke, when you don't try to fit all your errands in before 9 AM because its too damn hot to get in and out of the car, when, after work, you don't have to climb into a car that registers 103 degrees after baking in the sun all day. There, I've had my rant. Let me try again.
Lav, I am so excited about your chicks' arrival. What lucky little chickies to be under your loving care.

Star, Thank you so much for your detailed wedding post. I can only hope my son's goes as well. Thinking about how to make my guests feel comfortable at my house. Feeling like how a bed and breakfast proprietor must feel.

Chill, I wish I could oversleep, in fact I worry about how little I do sleep. I don't seem to be able to sleep longer than 6 hours. Sometimes feel sleepy in the late afternoon, but rarely take (or enjoy) naps. Have a prescription for sleeping pills but if I'm running the next morning, I don't like to take them. Guess maybe I'm just wired to run (pun intended) on less sleep.

Speaking of runs, I had a lovely one this morning before the sun came up. Saw so many good morning kitties roaming around, loving the darkness and the coolest part of the day.

John, hope you're taking care of that foot of yours.
Dill, have fun at work. I taught rollicking 1st graders yesterday. It was delightful.
Rusty, hope you're wearing your hard hat.
Sooty and Rustop, I'll trade weather with you anytime.
Rebirth, hang in there. Hope your relationship issues are resolving themselves.

I took the day off. I have so many lists of things to do. Maybe I should consider list consolidation!

Later, friends

Hello Everyone:

Just a quick check-in to let you know I am doing OK. Yesterday is pretty much a complete blur for me! I did get a good nights sleep and the percocet is doing it's job so that is a good thing.

Thank you for all of your good vibrations and get well wishes. You are all a super group of friends.

Will be lurking around as the day passes... Hope you all have a great day...

John

September Serenity - Week 2

Greetings Chill, Sooty & Shelley!

:yay: John - good to see you back so soon
Nurse Lav says to drink a whole lot of liquids & consume copious amounts of fiber when taking Percocet.......:H:H

Have a lovely day one & all!

[Rusty]

September Serenity - Week 2

Hi Gang,

John-glad to see you back! Nurse Lav is right about the Percocet.
Lav-are the chicks there yet?
Dill-No hard hat for me this week! YAY!

Back to work...will check in later.

Hey John, so good to see you posting!! I echo Lav about the high fiber and copious amounts of water and can speak from unspeakable experience!!:yuk:

HI John,

Glad yesterday went well.

Lav getting ready for those chicks sounds like fun.. Will they be noisy?

Papmom - CONGRATULATIONS ON 4 MONTHS AF!!!!!!!!!

[Lavande]

September Serenity - Week 2

It's 2 pm - no call from the post office yet. Maybe the girls are checking into a Holiday Inn for the night :H It is a long haul from Iowa to my house :H

Yes, Gaia, 25 baby birds make a lot of noise but it's cute (and they'll be in a large box in the garage for a while so I won't hear them ). They need a temp of 90-95 degrees for the first week or so, I use a heat lamp for them & a little soothing music helps!

OK, guess I'll go back to work......
