Surviving those minutes of feeling deprived are worth it to have mornings like today and to have slept so well.
Last two days off and starting to feel a bit jittery,will be fine,just need to be in the moment and enjoying today.
Hope everyone has a great day.Sun is out and sky is blue today.

Good morning Abbers & happy Monday to all

Thanks for the start up Mick! Nice that you have gotten some planting started. None of that going on here yet. We tend to hang on to the possibility of overnight frosts until the end of the month. Although today is supposed to head up to a pleasant 70 degrees, yay! I am on kid watch again starting at noon - schools closed & both of their parents working today. They can play outside & give my house a rest!!

Mick, loved your pics yesterday! Have fun with your decorating scheme

Hi bear, pause to take a few deep breaths when you feel yourself getting edgy - helps me a lot.

Greetings to pauly, PQ, SF, Sam, Det & everyone!
Have a great AF Monday one & all!

Mae everybody, Mick, was gonna ask about getting another play mate for Sandy,you answered my question

love the ad for the new hubs haha, I too drink my coffee black, but I love my soda and was drinking diet coke so yesterday we bought just regular,I too get the weird blood sugar drops, I always have to carry some kind of snack or I get dizzy, shaky,one morning I was walking and it hit me out of the blue had to stop and buy some nuts quick, I think it's great Amy's making her own soaps and things, they put so many additives in the store stuff, plus it's a fun hobby

I'm gonna make face scrub out of coffee grounds, honey and coconut oil, Bobbi bought me some in Portland at a farmer's market, a little jar was 10 bux! I'm pretty sure I can replicate the recipe though, Bear,hopefully with the added fruit and vegetables your jitters will stop,I know I have worse anxiety when I didn't eat so great the day before, hope your birthday was fun

and screw the wine thoughts haha,Easter was a fun, lazy day, Louie ate so much candy!but luckily I got some actual food in him,I bought a dark chocolate cream pie that was sooo rich,but of course I had 2 slices,bleh, hopefully the kids finished it all so it won't be calling my name later, Det,get yer buns back here, you make me nervous when you go missing! Hello to Lav, PPQP, Pie,Sam,anyone else who stops in, let's kick Mondays ass

Mick, I believe I'll have some of your tea this morning, and thank you very much. Is that a pic of your town?

Bear, good plan to stay in the moment, and enjoy the day.

Hi Lav, must be very nice for your grandkids to be in your care. How old are they?

Good chance of work for me today, so off now to see about that.

Greetings to all yet to stop by.

Hi Pauly, Here's the recipe for a sugar scrub a friend made for me. Love it, so sharing in case you want to try. My friend says she puts a bit of black pepper in hers as well.

Sweet N’ Spicy Brown Sugar Scrub
1 cup - sugar
1 cup – brown sugar
¾ cup - almond oil
2 tsp. - ground cinnamon
2 tsp. - ground ginger
2 tsp. - ground nutmeg
1 16 oz. - glass container with lid

In a medium-sized bowl, combine all ingredients until thoroughly blended. Be sure to break up any lumps from the brown sugar or from the spices. Spoon into the glass container and secure with lid. Scoop a teaspoon or two of the scrub on your hands and gently massage in circular motions onto your skin. Leave on for 3 to 4 minutes before thoroughly rinsing. The scrub will tighten on your skin.

I like it Pie

gonna give it a shot, actually just the other day I was at Sprouts(health food store) and the clerk recommended almond oil for elasticity, says she's 50 something, no wrinkles

**Lavande** · April 6, 2015, 10:37 AM

Back for a minute before I go get the kids

Pie, today is my youngest grandson's 4th birthday, his brother is 6! My granddaughter turned 4 the end of February but she's not involved in today's mix!

pauly, the best way to stabilize your blood sugar is by planning meals high in low fat proteins along with lots of veggies & fruit. Reduce your carbs, especially sugar.
I know myself if I eat something sugary on an empty stomach I end up shaking & sweating - nasty

MAE ALL....

Mick...thanks for kicking us off and I'll take the tea too. Been up early and just finished cleaning the bathroom. Break time. Still snowing outside although atm it's just flakes floating around. Supposed to get heavier snow this afternoon and then we're on the up-slope for the rest of the week. Your pic makes me homesick for London. My twin lived there for awhile. Good plan about another rabbit. I've downloaded S&S's pics and will see what I can do about combining them. Don't hold your breath though. :smile: Just so you know, I went with your suggestion on the avocado....

Bear...good on you, just ignored it. "Surviving those minutes of feeling deprived are worth it to have mornings like today and to have slept so well." Amen to that! Now don't waste those last two days, stay in the now....

Lav...no planting here either. We're lucky if we can start end of NEXT month! Holiday for some of us here, including me :yay:

Pauly...just wanted to let you know my last coke was April 1st. My sleep does seem to be improving. And I'm not a fan of chocolate so survived Easter just fine.

Pi...did work pan out for you today.

Break time over going to tackle the oven next. Have a Marvelous AF Monday all and all to come....:smile:PPQP

**Pie** · April 6, 2015, 02:05 PM

Yep, PQ, just finishing up now and heading for the library to pick up Weeds dvd I ordered.

**paulywogg** · April 6, 2015, 05:32 PM

Having an awful mood these past few days, today I came so close to stopping and buying beer, I DON'T want that!!! Took a antabuse on the drive home, I'm so determined to not drink,why does this ugly mood tend to hit me at 4 weeks? Is this normal? Or is it in my head? I'm usually a happy person, just sometimes like today I feel irritated, teary,grrrr, I've googled it to death and it says it's normal to be depressed after quitting but mine seems to pop up around now,gosh at least I won't drink so that is a plus

**porqoui** · April 6, 2015, 06:43 PM

Puly...4 weeks is when my triggers would start. Only for me it was damn I'm feeling good, I can handle a drink. Since you've googled it to death you've probably already read my response. :harhar:....."gosh at least I won't drink so that is a plus"...not a plus that's HUGE! Remember, today's decisions are tomorrow's reality. You're going to love your tomorrow. :hug:

**paulywogg** · April 6, 2015, 06:48 PM

I hope so PPQP, I just hate bad moods! Especially when there's no reason for it ya know? If I had worries about something specific I could understand, or if I were hormonal I could deal, this is just ugly, I'm still wondering if it was that dumb nasal spray, it's all I've done differently this past week, this is for the birds
