Day 26 Check In

Hi Moderators!

It's 10 am here EDT! I was sure with my lazy ways that someone would have beaten me to the start today! My sister came into town yesterday, so we were up late, so after getting up to see my daughter off to school this morning, I tumbled right back into bed!

Everything remains status quo here. Most of the drama in my life tends to come from my daughter's life, not my own. Not that I am looking for too much drama in my own life mind you, but her ups and downs wear me out sometimes:x (hence sleeping in!)

I took the day off from work today, as my sister and I will be moving my office furniture from one office to another later today--hopefully, it won't rain!!!

Have a good day all, and keep up the good work.

Hugs,
Kathy

Once again, Rebecca and I were posting at the same time. Check out both!

Kathy:rollin

Wish there was a way to combine them.... I could try that cut and paste thing (computer moron...) but it still won't get rid of the new subject line. OH WELL.
MORNIN Kathy!!

Mornin "You Little Jabber-walkies"! Looks like another rainy day here!! I just had 3 days off, and it rained all 3! Well Wed it was off & on,kinda pretty with the misty coastal mountains. Oh and the pictures we took on the way home from dinner with the sunset, @ Natural Bridges came out "very niicce"!
Must admit, the combo of 3 days off, not kayaking, and PMS, are making me feel like DRINKING more! Havent gone overboard, but very aware of the urge to! Been forcing myself to drink extra water in between glasses of wine, and take plenty of L-glut. That does seem to help. Had 3 glasses of wine & a beer yesterday (afternoon & evening combined).
Grandma's real B-day was yesterday, so we had a get together with a huge cake, and more of her friends & relatives. Still have cake in my fridge(shoud've taken more! It's good! & I'm PMS'n!!)

Correction... I only had 2 & 1/2 gasses of wine. Just saw that there's a 1/2 glass next to bed, I didn't finish:eek . Damn, I don't know what happened w/that movie I was watchin either!! Topa sure knocks me out when I take it @ nite!(especially after a couple of glasses of wine!) :rolleyes Whoops!:rolleyes

Hi all.....Suprise! I am still here, or back, whatever! I have had a major crappy, busy month and am ready for May to be done with!

Anyway, I tirated off the topa as I live in a small area and don't have a Dr. who supports it so I go off shore! I found out that it was to soon for me:rolleyes ! So I am starting to tirate back up....long story....!

Sounds like all of you are doing a wonderful job and working through your problems and addressing them as they come. I think that is a big issue. I had and do take so much stress (every little thing I let bother me)..on that I forget about what is important and what isn't really important!

So, as far as May Moderation goes I really learned that I need to stick to my plan and not fudge:o ...that is where I went wrong! Also I need to figure out what is worth fighting for and what is worth just letting go...stressing for and not...I definately carry way to much on my shoulders that I don't need to and I just do. Guess it is that Super Mom thing!

Anyway back up to 50mg of topa and tirating up faster as I have been on it before so hopefully I will be back to 100 by this weekend and 150mg by next weekend. Plus starting the supps again....I have been working in my gardens this past week, I need to get more excited with that. Normally this is my favorite time of year. I love planting flowers...not this year....I am in a funk and need to come out! I guess we all go through this from time to time....

Thanks for letting me vent...and not to worry I will be fine!
What is a good natural Herb for depression?...and maybe there isn't one...maybe I just have to work though it on my own! !:eek
Take care all,
Love,
~Tammie

TAMMIE!!!!!!!!
I just sent an email to Gina this morning asking where you were.... I didn't think you checked in here anymore....
Anyhow. ... one of those situations like "wish we could have met again under different circumstances" but holy cow! so glad to hear from you again! You better not ever lose touch again even if you are the most normal drinking person who never ever has a problem ever again. Cuz that's what's going to happen with all of us . right??:D
We're ready to head up (someone's going to be in charge...) a June moderation event. You still planning on moderation? or abs? or playing it by ear because these events have been a pain in the a** and too stressful in the pastol :rolleyes
Regardless, we're here, so vent away, sister. Sorry to hear the Super Mom cape got a little heavy. Remember how much progress you made last time. You will get there faster this time, cuz you know how to do it, and you will do even better!! I know. Because ... well, just because, OK????ol
Talk soon,
Bec

Ahh Becca..you are such a sweetheart! I have tears running down my cheeks! Love you too and have missed you, all of you, too!

Not sure what I would like to go for in June...Abs maybe..worried and scared...so maybe try moderation again but in the extreme like I did in the beginning!

Anyway thanks for the welcome back and it will be nice checking in again each day. I will be so keep in touch!

Tack care all,
~Tammie

Hey Tammie, Missed ya! Welcome back!
Hugs, Judie.... Stick around... we need you too!

Welcome Back Tammie!

You know you are welcome here, whether moderation or abs or just your wonderful self!!! Tough times are hard, but all the better for you to be here with people who care about you! Think about what you would like to do and what is best for you....

Hugs,
Kathy

Thank you all for the welcome back....it isn't nescessary, really, but very welcome...so thank's all!

It has been a trying month, but here is to June!

My plans for the weekend are finishing the garden planting tomorrow and then we are going to Valleyfair on Sunday it is the amusementpark...some might of heard of it...unfortunately it is the one that has been in the news lately with the roller coaster "Wild Thing"....We live 20mins north west of it...thankfully know one was really hurt and the roller coaster is still closed down until futher notice...we have season passes so go all the time....Yikes!

Monday is just for relaxing and vegging out at home! (No Beer at all planned or scheduled!:D )

Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Holiday weekend!
