    Sunday 11th March

    Mornin' All!!!

    Gosh you all look delicious this Morning! I have MISSED you!!! :h (Although some of you could do with a haircut and changing out of those 3 day old underpants if you don't mind me saying so...)

    I've been away for a few weeks, working on the rindy self in all respects, and am very pleased with the new canteloupe emerging. Trim body, sober mind, and a positive outlook to my life at the moment that has been missing since I can't remember when (I finally found it down the back of the sofa along with $3.00 and a back copy of 'Hello' magazine...it's always the last place you look...)

    Thank you ALL for the lovely messages in my pm box...I have logged on a couple of times over my absent period, but have not really been in the right headspace to post or reply to anything, so I apologise to those who may have been worried, but the Melon was indulging in good old Me, Me, Me disease which has been extremely productive for a change instead of the usual whingy 'oh my life is a tragedy' snowball she has been caught up in so many times in the past....

    I have also been away for a while at camp with the young man that I look after, and the rest of the guys in his Special Ed unit which was a GREAT break. Every year, we go down to a place called Rotorua, an area of incredible geothermal liveliness a few hours drive from school. The kids and staff have a wonderful time scampering around boiling mud pools and marvelling at buried villages and we stay in a very basic, but welcoming little bunkhouse site on the edge of Lake Rotorua which is absolutely beautiful!
    Every evening, L. and I would wander along the lakeside in the setting sun gazing out at Mt Mokoia before I put him to bed which is a remarkably more effective sedative than anything else I usually try...unfortunately, this is negated by the fact that the boy snores like a dying wildebeest for most of the night and so the zeds (for me) were in negative numbers by the time I returned home again....still, eyes like saddlebags and skin the colour of mushrooms is a small price to pay for a wonderful time spent with some folk of the highest splediferousness, and I was VERY sorry indeed to have to make my way back to the building site that loosely masquerades under the title of 'my home'........

    It's about 94 days AF for me now, I think (how many days in February this year??)...coming up to the big 100...yippee!!!

    Well...love to all this Sunday, off to scan the rest of the boards now...I've got a lot of catching up to do!!! Weehappymelon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    (p.s......one kiss each, with extra slobber for those that desire.....)

      Hello Melon, I always thought you were a work in progress. 94 days is fantastic and the fact that self indulgence these days is something different for all of us.

        Hello all

        wow. 94 days. respect! I am on my 13th day AF today. Doing fine but with MURDEROUS pms... my poor family. Mummy has swivelling eyes and foam flecked lips...

        Sitting here sipping ginger beer (n/a) but have just read Paddy's post about how you shouldn't replace alcohol with soft drinks because of the sugar. great. thanks a bunch for that Paddy. another thing to avoid.

        (no, it's ok really, it makes sense)

        anyway, we made it though another weekend. weeks are easier aren't they? up to 75mg topa tomorrow so hope that will help knock the little whispering devil off my shoulder - only whispering, but he's there, the swine.

          Hello all and welcome back to the self-indulgent wee gourd. You had me worried there for a while.
          Love and hugs Lori

                  Good morning.
                  Day 1 again.
                  Sorry folks.
                  To be honest, I saw it coming and I'm relieved that it's done and out the way for another while, and I didn't upset anyone, except myself.

                  Anyway, I'm going to have a nice day today. My grand-daughter is coming over to stay for the day. Once my foggy head clears up enough to drive, I'll go and pick her up. She just started eating solids last week, so we have a jar of her favourite food ready and waiting.(carrot and sweet potatoe).
                  I hope your all having a happy Sunday.

                      Thanks for the slobber, Melon,

                      And I did change my undies (I turned them other way round ;-) - does that count? Hey, your 'back of the sofa Hello magazine story' reminds me of that Gary Larson cartoon where the woman does spring cleaning, while turning the sofa's big cushions up she finds her hairbrush, and the she screams: Ah, and there you are, too, Andrew! (her husband!).

                      Good on you for your ME ME day. Me had a nice lunch brunch today, too. (Not too mention a break from my diet, the chocolate fountain at the Sofitel is delicious, so is the fresh Salmon, the different cheese, the chocolate cakes, floating islands, Spanish ham, mmmmmmmmmmh, so yummie.

                      Hey, Paulie, don't worry too much about your brief relapse there. You did have a long AF record. The longest ever. So this thing yesterday was just a reminder on how things used to be, and how strong you can be, ok.

                      Anyways folks, hang in there. Get ready for another week of great activity. My Sunday is nearly over ....

                      Hugs

                            So good to have you back melonhead. You were missed and I honestly do not have undies on so I am sure to pass the inspection.
