FRIDAY 11 JULY

[treetops]

MAE absters! Funky Friday here already. Well last night I really slept ? over 8 hours! Needed it as my cold was tiring me yesterday. I just drank the coffee you made Lav! Thanks!

Will be a busy day with work ? it's a good thing that despite some of the human beings I do enjoy my job. I am having lunch with a friend/colleague and we usually have a lot to say to each other. She?s known me for c 25 years ?so a long history there.

I guess Mick is home now ? ready to inspect those Scottish uniforms I mentioned! Sometimes a week?s break in the sun is all we need. You rest up Mick and see you when you have a had good sleep.

Thanks for the explanation Sam ? I didn?t think you had a dubious past association with turps! Sounds like you had fun with your muso?s and er, thanks for the banjo jokes???

Bear ? any plans for the weekend? It must be warm where you are.

SL ? hope the tiredness/flatness has subsided. Well ? I know all about that. Sometimes its extra-hard for those of us who are in jobs where we have to be up-beat with the public ? or at least put on a human, caring face. Unless we are monsters of course! Enjoy your Friday away.

I can?t believe no one here mentioned the football world cup (but I guess its not so big in the US and Canada). It is all over the news in my country although I don?t take it in.

Hi there PPQP ? you enjoy your Friday too, and you too Pauly. Hope you are keeping your head cool Det! Time to check in.

OK ? I better get out of my pyjamas and turn into a professional zombie. Catch you later

FRIDAY 11 JULY

Grr - just lost my post - will try again!
Thanks dear TT - you have solved my problem of not posting tomorrow, here I am posting in the future:H
I am still flat - thank you for understanding, I don't really - feels weird, but appears to be part of the process - whatever, I will just keep on moving waiting for the next phase to come by....
So tomorrow off to Dets land...the girls are going out with my managers daughter to a shopping mall, then with his wife to hang at the pool - I will be stuck in a stuffy office, dreaming of being by a pool! After we are done, we will all go out for supper - then the hotel for the three girls night
Saying hello and TGIF (well in about 3 1/2 hours it will be) to Lav, PPQ, Sam, Pauly, Det, Bear and everyone else....also welcome home to Mick
Today (well yesterday) - ok - getting confused nowwas 140 days...they keep on stacking up, and even though feeling flat, that makes me feel content...
Have a good one all and see you tomorrow, or today......:H

FRIDAY 11 JULY

Good morning Abbers,

Happy Friday to one & all!
Waiting for the sun to make an appearance after a week of clouds & frequent storms.

TT, hope you enjoyed your lunch
I actually did watch a few minutes of the World cup on TV but it did not mean much to me. I'm really not a fan of professional sports. The overpaid big baby football players in here in the US turned me off a long time ago :H

SL, hope you enjoy your day & overnight with your girls
Don't worry about the feeling flat periods, they seem to come & go. I use them as an opportunity to turn my attention to something new or something I have ignored way too long.

Mick, hope you are safely on your way home!
I'll bet your bunnies will be happy to see you

Greetings to PQ, Pauly, Sam, Det, bear & everyone!
Have a fab AF Friday everyone!

Lav

FRIDAY 11 JULY

Morning all!!!
market yesterday was good till about 6:30 and then the flood gates opened. Cold wet ride home in DC traffic that just crawled along.
Got a call from someone asking if I would come get honeybees out of a shed. Guess I'll look into that to see what that's all about today.

TT, glad you got sleep, it is the best medicine!

SL, you'll get through the flats... it is like Mick says, we've always had them, now we don't mask it any more.

Mick, welcome home!

have a freaky Friday everyone!
Sam

They say that you "can't have your cake, and eat it"

I watched a kid walk out of the baker's yesterday with a cake that he had just bought, ...and he promptly ate it.

....so that screws that theory!

My wife is so sh.t at housework even the ironing board cover is creased

Professor Whiteman from Exeter University has Experimented and concluded that Hydrogen Sulphide ... Which is produced when Breaking Wind.... Can Help in the Battle against Heart Disease ... Cancer and Strokes.... I Would just like to thank my Wife in her Tireless Efforts to Keep me Healthy.....

obesity is on the increase, A mounting body of evidence has suggested..

A woman I work with locked me in her basement for two months once and used me as her sex slave.

One day I noticed she forgot to lock the door and I thought, "Great, this is my chance!"

So I ran up the stairs and grabbed the phone.

Half hour later the pizza arrived, and I went back down to the basement.

I got stuck upside down on a roller coaster for 2 hours once.

Nowadays I just strap myself in upside down so if it ever happens again, I won't look silly like everyone else.

It's going to be awkward if Mr and Mrs Burr ever lose their son Tim in a forest.

FRIDAY 11 JULY

I have had a ton of issues logging in here. If anyone wants to connect on FB just PM me. I am not that active there, but would love to keep the connection. You guys mean a lot to me. I know that TT was concerned about drinking talk....but, I don't think any of us do that on FB.

Having issues.....I found myself not even trying to log in. I'll check in on old posts....and see how everyone is doing.

Lots of news in my world. Still at my corporate job. Mostly because I just want to wait the bastards out. But, I have opened a YT practice with 3 other women. So I have been busy. We each have a focus and I work with our MS patients. Love, love, love their commitment to not give up. Sounds like a lot of people I now here:h

And I did end up buying a condo....I now have a designated room for yoga therapy. We have a space we rent and we work out of homes as well. Love it. Somehow I think showing up at corpoarate America everyday inspires me.
