Good morning April friends,

Reporting in from the darkness again
Big storms on the way for tomorrow - oh well!

Chill, thinking of you today & wishing you the best

Rustop - awesome on the weight loss. I need to give myself that same kick in the ass.

I have a busy day planned for myself & noneof it has anything to do with work :H
Just the way I like it!!!

Wishing everyone a wonderful AF Humpday!

A very quick hello from me before I collapse into bed,
Everything went like clockwork today and Elle and I are safely in London staying with friends. I get my car in the morning and then have about a 9/10 hour drive to Scotland and to my parents.

1st impressions - cold but wonderful! I feel like the weight of the world is off my shoulders.....

Wohoo Chill!

Glad you made it safely - sleep well.

Lav - not looking forward to tomorrow - I like being home when the weather is really bad but I'll be at work - worrying about my dogs at home out in the kennel. They have a house they can get into (which is were they will be I'm sure cause they don't like storms!)

Home by myself tonight - hubby went on a little trip with some buddies but will return tomorrow night. This would have been a golden opportunity for me in the past to drink the night away - no way - no more. Getting ready to make a smoothie then relax in front of the tv (YES - I get the remote for once!).

Have a good evening everyone!

Yea Chill! So glad you made it to London safely! Please drive carefully tomorrow (oh, wait, it IS tomorrow for you :H). Take it slow with lots of breaks.

Jolie-you go girl! Hope that smoothie tasted yummie! Hope the storms aren't to severe for you and Lav. I hate it when the weather is bad like that as well. I'm 50 min from home whereI work now and I constantly worry about the animals. If the forecast is for severe Tstorms when I leave in the morning, they go in to the basement in crates. Even the cats!! Well, the cats don't go in crates-just go in the basement. Haven't got a crate big enough for both of them AND a litter box!
Hey Star, Rustop, Rusty, Cyn, John, Cass - hope you all had a wonderful humpday! On to the weekend!!

Good Evening Friends:

Chill - So glad to hear that you and Elle made it to London safely. Hope you get a good nights rest so you can be ready for the drive to Scotland.

Jolie - Boy, can I relate to your comment about how you used to take advantage of your husband being away as an opportunity to 'drink the night away'. I was always right there with you whenever my partner was out of town. Not any more! Now, I relish the quiet sober time (plus, the extra solo quality time I get with my doggie!)

Traveling again for work for the next 3 weeks. Based on how my schedule is shaping up, it is going to be June before I know it.

Lav - Nice to see the pic of EB and that he is wearing a 'Phillies' tee-shirt. We have high expectations for those Phillies this year.

Papmom - Good luck with your interview on Friday. Walk in there with confidence and you will WOW them!

Greetings to everyone else and all who follow today.... Hope you all have a restful evening...

Good evening April friends!

Long & busy day for me. Had a nice lunch out with a friend, got my hair cut, etc.
Had my daughter & Lily here for dinner - oh & YB too. He promised to come over & till up the garden after work today & did so I fed him dinner :H
I'm not going to plant a super huge garden but will plant some of my favorites

Chill, great to hear your flight went well! Take your time on the drive home.

John, EB has actually been to a few Phillies games already, believe it or not I'm sure my son will turn him into a diehard fan.

Not looking forward to tomorrow's storms but what can you do????

Good night all!
Lav

Chill, great to hear your trip is halfway over. Have a safe trip up to Scotland. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

I am exhausted, looking forward to the weekend. I need a day or two off, but right now it is just not possible unless I call off, and I am not sick. Just tired. I am happy that the weather is slowly warming up, everything is turning so green. I will watch the big wedding tomorrow morning, I think it is on at 5 a.m. my time, so it will be fun.

Greetings to all and have a lovely AF day.

Morning everyone.

Lav - hope you are safe - looks like you are right in the area where the tornado watch is predicted. I think we may be actually doging a bullet except for the threat of severe thunderstorms. What in the world is up with this weather?

Star - I have tomorrow off but I'll probably set my alarm for 5:00 as well, although I think they are going to start televizing the wedding around 4:30 a.m. (yikes)! I think a lot of the early part will just be her riding around in the carriage just getting to the church. Anywho - I'll be watching right along with you!

Paguy - you certainly do travel a lot! Do you get to go to interesting places or not so much?

Papmom - I am totally hooked on banana/peach smoothies at the moment. It's my special "treat" after I get all my stuff done after coming home from work. I was a little nervous about leaving my dogs in the laundry room this morning and they absolutely hate thunderstorms but guess that's better than being outside. That's a long drive to work for you!

Chill - You are probably already halfway to Scotland by now but hope you are having a safet trip!

Greetings to Cyn, Rustop, Guitarista, Dew - anyone else I missed - hope you all have a safe day!

Good morning all!

Sitting here watching tornado warnings on TV Jolie

My dogs are freaked out. The chickens are clueless so far.............
I told my daughter last night to come over here this morning because I have a huge, solidly built basement that is a perfect shelter if needs be.

My hearst goes out to all those affected in the South. The news reports are so sad.

I'll be back later kids

Happy Thursday -

Chill - thanks so much for taking the time to let us know that you arrived safely. What a long drive to Scotland - I had no idea it was so far. Good luck with the trip - how nice to know that your parents will be there waiting with open arms. So glad to hear that you feel a weight has been lifted.

Sorry about the weather, easterners - hope all the doggies can cope with the storm (and the humans too). Lav - great pics of the grandsons, how sweet. So happy to hear YB is behaving, hope that continues. PA - wow, what a work schedule. Hope you can take care of yourself. Same thing to you Star, just 2 more days before you can kick back, hang in there. PMom - sounds like your change of plans for getting to agility was really wise. Will be sending you great vibes for tomorrow's interview. Jolie, hope your dogs are OK with the weather. I have terrible separation anxiety with my dogs!

Sooty, are you there? Miss hearing from you Dill, Sped. LBH when can we expect another missive?
Greetings too all -

Hi All,
Glad you are nearly home chill. Enjoy the royal wedding. I am dying to see the dress.
Sorry about the dreadful weather in the US. Fingers crossed.

I am hitting a wall this week. Finding everything tough. Just feel so flat. 51days. Very happy to be AF but feeling very low. Is this normal?

Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Night all.

[Cassia]

April Appreciation AF - week 4

Hi all,

Just a quick one from me. Had a horrible day at work and trying to destress.

Lav - I hope you are alright. My heart goes out to all those affected by the storms.

Chill - thanks for checking in and I am so pleased that Elle arrived safe and sound! I suppose you will be in Scotland now! Look forward to hearing from you.

Love to you all! X

Hi Folks:

I think it's going to be an early evening for me - feeling exhausted after traveling and arriving home earlier tonight. Waking up at 4:00am this morning didn't help - that happens frequently when I sleep in hotels.

Jolie - Most of my work related travels have been to cities throughout the US although work has taken me to Mexico, England, Germany and Italy. Some of it has been interesting but lately, it's not very interesting. Travel has become such a hassle with airport security and airline regulations - it's just not fun anymore. I was in Northern NJ this week, I'll be in Missouri next week and then Dallas the following week. Not what I would classify as interesting travel

Newgrange - Great job on 51 days! And Yes, it is perfectly normal to go through low spots during this stage. I remember going through periods of high anxiety and feeling overwhelmed by everything. Things will get better. Focus on one day at a time and be true to your commitment. Those low feelings will get better - trust me.

Cassia - Sorry to hear you had a terrible day at work. Tomorrow is Friday - Yea!

Greetings to Chill, Star, Papmom, Lav, Cyn and everyone else.

Rusty - How is your studying coming along??

Rest up everyone... and for those of you in the US who are planning to watch the Royal Wedding on Friday morning.... be sure to set those alarm clocks
