Morning everyone. Ginger - the AB might be adding to your headaches/sinuses but it should pass. :l

If the AB is making it worse, it is a delayed reaction. I know a lot of people who have head/chest colds and sinus stuff going on, so it's probably just a bug. I cancelled my class. I haven't even made it to the shower yet today. Not one of my best days, for sure. But, still sober.

Hi all
Ginger, I always take this stuff oil of oregano when I start feeling sick. I found out about it from Ringing Cedars. I think Sun uses it too and it will really ward off a cold. Comes in gel tabs...well the stain, that might be it huh??...K9 congrats on the 60. That is a great milestone! My mom broke her ankle too....ML I know what you mean about having the house to yourself...that is a big trigger for me too..Nora hope your back is feeling better...just hanging out this eve..

Yep - I'm having the house to myself for a week starting next Thursday. We'll see how it goes. I'm just hanging out tonight too Bird. I rented a DVD - Bridesmaids that's supposed to be funny so think we'll watch that.

Hello Februaries!

We're almost finishing the month. Last night my cravings were not as bad as Thursday. I think it's the first night having the house to myself that really sets off cravings. By yesterday I felt better. I also dragged my fat butt to a Spinning class right in the middle of my witching hour 6pm. That really helped. Then I watched a DVD I rented and ate two bowls of ice cream. LOL. So it wasn't a really HEALTHY night but it was AF.

Nora - how'd you like Bridesmaids? I heard that it was pretty funny. I rented Midnight in Paris. I like Woody Allen sometimes but I had a hard time with this movie. It was OK. Anyway, I fell asleep like a rock around 9:30 and slept straight through until about 6:00 this morning. I LOVE AF SLEEP!!

Have a great day guys!

Ginger - I hope the AB isn't causing your headaches. I haven't felt ANYTHING from it - (knock wood). I'm only taking 1/2 per day. I'm planning in the future (maybe end of next week) to cut down to 1/2 every other day or something so it's still in my system but not so much.

Bird - I'll kep my eye out for that oil of oregano!

Hey Febbers,

Just checking in - wow, we have almost navigated through February. Good for us - let's keep it going! I'm feeling so happy about being AF - learning how to feel satisfied with the small stuff, refocusing my day to early instead of late, appreciating just being healthy - shifting my thinking. Feeling more confident every day. I have moments of that sort of "void or empty feeling" but believe me, I had that when I was drinking with hangovers to boot! And, it passes pretty quickly.

Thanks for the movie tips folks - oh, and the oil of oregano too.

Not much going on in my world - big day - getting my hair done LOL.

Stay safe and dry everyone!

xoxo

Thanks for movie reviews and the oil of oregano tip.

We could use a laugh around here today and Bridesmaids might be the ticket.

I've put all weekend plans on hold for the moment. Just being quiet and hanging out sounds like the best idea right now.

It's great to see everyone sounding so UP. Onward, through to March and to spring and to sunshine and birds singing.

Hi everyone.

ML - That is the definite trigger for me. Hubby out of town. Mine leaves on Thursday. Trying to make plans so that I'll be busy while he's gone.

Bridesmaids was really funny. We laughed & laughed. Very umm raunchy but hilarious. I used to love Woody Allen but I just can't watch his movies anymore. I always think of what he did to his children.

Well - off to do my taxes. Yuck!!

Catch you all later.

I want a drink

The thing is I have been cleaning all day - and am still cleaning and it used to be that when I cleaned I would love to have a drink - LOL Right now I am not craving a drink - I just want one - there is a BIG difference! I have some Amaretto in the house which I wouldn't drink anyway and I won't go out and get anything but I just want one. Don't crave it - just want it.

Darn it.

Hi Sunshine,

Distract yourself. Go for a quick walk or do a load of laundry. You're in the middle of witching hour - just get through it and you'll be so happy you did.

Hang in there! We can do this. :l

Sun, I hope you didn't drink - it's an absolute rut and you'll regret it.

Febbers, gotta rush today, but still FREE! Hope you are all well.

Hi there UW - no, I didn't drink. I just wanted to - the odd thing is it really wasn't a craving - just a habit that went along with what I was doing. So I need to look out for my habit drink times - in the garden will be another one. Yesterday had not been in my plan!!

have a great day everyone,

Sun XX
