Good morning Abbers & Happy Humpday

Great pics again Mick

NO kids on my schedule today but you never know around here!
Ended up with my daughter & granddaughter here yesterday but they don't cause half the ruckus the boys do :H
I have Curves on my to do list then some work. I decided to hold off on moving the chicks out to the coop until this weekend. They will officially be 4 weeks old & no longer need a heat source. They are pretty well feathered out now & eating like machines so they will be able to produce enough body heat on their own

Speaking of heat, it seems that some summer weather has returned this week, not thrilled but at least it's not raining!

Sam, I saw your comment last night about working with your animals. Makes me oh so happy to just have these birds to deal with - honestly :H
I hope it all went well for you!

Greetings to everyone checking in today. Cindi, where are you?
Have a terrific AF Wednesday one & all!

good morning
another pretty day on the horizon. After all the rain this summer, now we're dry. That didn't take long. Need to get into the gardens before the next wave. I can finally till this virginia clay!

Morning to you there Mick. Enjoy your day in, it's good to have them now and again

How are those peepers doing Lav? Need some updated photos!

Det, YahYah, Pauly, TT, Cinders, Bear, and others I may have missed enjoy your day

Mae everybody, so true on the tupperware these kids use the lids as plates and the bottom half for bowls so I never have any around, have to do it redneck style sometimes and use a cool whip container or old butter tub haha, weather here is cool in the morn but very warm in the afternoon they still use the air conditioning at work so I wear a sweater all day then roast on the drive home, hope everyone has a great Wednesday

Soooooooooooooo wet here on the West Coast. Or shall I say, 'Wet Coast'. Fall came in like a lion!

But that is cool with me. Love the fall. Rain or not. I have the gas fireplace going and all is cozy here. Took little AFM to school, and came home to a nice warm place.

I adopted a dog two months ago. I had been looking for a very long time. She is a rescue. She was used to breed puppies in a city not too far away. 2 years old, a mutt. (Rodesian Ridgeback/Shepherd/Pit Cross). Cute as can be. She is so sucky tho. My long time cat companion, Max scares her! hahaha. Daisy is such a love. Love walking her. She sucks on the leash (pulls me over) but off leash, very enjoyable.

Anyway, nothing too exciting on my agenda today. Kind of tired. I was on a relapse rollercoaster for a bit there and now am 8 days in. I have no idea why I derailed after so long of AF. But, that doesn't matter now. Today is what matters and that I am back on track. I have my ammo of antabuse that was prescribed to me in 2011, so I took one as a safeguard until I figure out what it was that sent me on a binge the last two times. I am thinking it has a lot to do with facebook. So much despair in the world. I also found out my grandfather died on facebook on September 10th. Hadn't seen him in years, so no love lost. I think it has more to do of the fact that my family is so f'd up. On both sides. Since my father's passing, I have distanced myself from everyone. Which is essential for my sobriety. So, I try not to go onto facebook every day anymore. And I am feeling better for it!

So, for today I am happy. I hope you are all happy too.

Here is a quote I came across on the WFS site I read on as well.

'Regretting, complaining, resenting - they corrode days that could and should be lived, to the fullest'

For me, I hold this close and it reminds me that my life is indeed good, and needs to be lived. Today, in the present.

hey all - day 11 coming to a close - and we are watching game footage in a pub instead of skating tonight.Not remotely tempted and even though I am not driving I feel ok. Being sponsored to stay sober is definitely helping me.

I've been feeling low and anxious ATM - I am planning to do exercise every day for 2 weeks then see how I feel,may go back to GP - did exercise DVD this am before work. I have started to take valerian and rescue remedy - really don't like taking tablets and feel I do well with CBT rather than drugs. We'll see. Nothing to be depressed/anxious about really - I am creating my own problems. At least being p****d out of my head isn't one of them right now!Happy Tuesday everyone

Happy Wed ABeroooos!

thanks for the laffs Mick! loved those.

AFM, so glad to see you back and in a good place again. stay tight! you're a great part of our crazy little community

garlic flavored hugs to Lav, Bear, Sam, Pauly, and whoever else we can scare up

just made a lovely puree of roasted red peppers, garlic and butternut squash.

been watching youtube videos of traditional Japanese knife sharpening. boy thos folks are anal retentive about their knives! I'm quite mesmerized by it though as it's a meditative/Zen-like practice when done properly. So I'm off to order a sharpening stone set..... and maybe some bandaids.

be well everyone
