AF Daily - Tuesday 19th April

Good morning awesome Abbers!

It is a beautiful day in Glasgow, perfect spring weather!

I started out today at the gym, then had to pick up my medical records and now working from home.
I have the gas, electric and packers coming today to sort out the flat. It really is all go! I am so disappointed with my work though...they still have not confirmed my leqing date even though I resigned over two weeks ago. It is actually now disrespectful!

I hope you all have a great af Tuesday!

Morning guys!

I am playing with pup (sorry, I am useless so tried to upload the photo and can't). He is a monkey! But so cute and really well behaved - especially for a pupppy.

Today I have a dentist appointment and then go get my nails done. I started writing a book last night. I have thought about it for a while, wriWho knows what will happen but it is therapeutic to write. Got the epilogue and half of th e first chapter done. At the end of the day, If I can't get it published I can always publish it myself and sell it here to you guys!!! LOL


HOpe you all have a great AF day.

Love and hugs,
Uni

Good morning Abbers!

It's a rain soaked Tuesday in Lav-land, oh well!

Cassia, I hope your day goes well, you surely have a lot going on

Uni, writing a book? Great!!!!
I've thought about doing that myself a time or two - I have many stories to tell

I'm currently walking around with one of my crowns in a plastic bag. I hope I'm able to get into the dentist office today & have someone glue it back on - what a pain

Wishing everyone a terrific AF Tuesday!

Hi fABbies! Thanks for getting started Cassia. Is it your new employer not setting an exact date? Or the one you are leaving not setting an exact date? Frustrating either way I'm sure - you are managing a tight schedule it seems!

Uni, I smile just thinking about your pug/boxer puppy! Maybe someday we will have a picture. Can you e-mail a picture attachment? If so, PM me your e-mail address and we could hook up that way and I could post it for you! I will buy your book! So you know you have one customer anyway! Bet you will have more fABbie customers before the day is through!

I over slept today after a late (for me, LOL) Mary Kay evening. Oh well. The leads group will survive without me this week and I will get on with the rest of a busy day. We are definitely having "spring" weather and not in a good way! Cold and rainy again today. There must be some fABulous May flowers in the works!

One thing is for sure...

Hey again all

DG - It's my current employer - my new employer has set a start date of 23rd May giving me a full week to relax when I get there and do all that fun stuff like renewing my driver's license, background checks etc. Hopefully the weather will be nice! I have booked my flight so if current employer says no (which would be a shocker considering I asked over two weeks ago), I am coming regardless. I don't want it to go down like that but prepared for it to go down like that.

Tell us more about your Mary Kay evening. What is involved etc?

Uni - Aww - I want to see the pup! Email the pic to DG. Looking forward to hearing more about this book!

Lav - I hope you got on ok at the dentist!

:yougo::yougo: I am so proud of you TG!!! Post and be crazy. Why not. The rest of us do! :H I am so happy to see you here on AF Daily. A great place to spend an AF day.

Cassia, somehow I can't imagine your first week here being "relaxing" despite not starting your new job until week 2! :H

There are lots of different kinds of Mary Kay evenings. The one on Thursday will be a new person on my team's first party. One of her best friends is gathering up some gal pals to help her get started. Since she hasn't been to training yet, I will be there to help lead the facials. 10 women are invited - it they all show up that is a lot of women at one time for facials! The key for me will be to just relax and go with the flow. As long as I do that, everything seems to work out fine.

thanks DG, hoping not all of my AF days involve as much twitchign as this one xD

AF Daily - Tuesday 19th April

Hey all,

Just got some sad news. One of the guys i was really friendly with when i first moved over to the uk died in a car accident last week. His friend and him had been drinking and decided to drive. The driver walked away fine but unfortunately his passenger did not. He was 29 years old.

Puts it all in perspective. It has not been a day of good news. Sorry to be so glum.

TG - I am sorry to hear about the twitching. Always remember that with continued AF time it will get better, and with dirnking it will get worse. I had to do a LOT of reminding myself of that in the early days. Drinking always seemed like the easy "solution." What a farse as drinking doesn't solve anything.

Cassia, I am very sorry to hear about your friend. What a tragic and unecessary loss of life to AL. I'm glad you chose to share about it. It really does put things into perspective for me. It's easy to let the glamorous "pictures" take over in my head. There is nothing glamorous about loss of life from drunk driving accidents. I hope you are doing OK and I will say a prayer for this young man's family. I can't imagine what it would be like to get that news.

Cassia,
So sorry to hear about your friend, that's very sad indeed.
You are right though that it does put things in perspectove for all of us. I quite imagine the driver will need a lot of help coming to grips with the consequences of his decision to drive. Losing a young friend is difficult, sorry for your loss.:l

IC, good to see you here! We are super serious about our AFness here on this thread. Stick around & soak up the sobriety

DG, do you find it difficult finding & keeping MK clients in this economy? My embroidery/monograming biz took a bad hit when the economy tanked & I find I'm still scraping by. I have given some serious thought to giving up but I'm not quite ready yet I'll hang in there for this year & see what happens!!!

Where's Marshy, Pam & a few others MIA????

Cassia - I am saddened by this news also. It really does bring things into perspective - especially since I was charged with a DUI. I will forever be grateful to whatever it was that told me to pull myself over that day. Otherwise i could have killed someone.

I am so sorry for your loss and know that we are here for you.

DG - I sent you a PM for your email address so you can post the picture of BOO for me.
