Blossoms? Where you at friend?

Hi! Wow it is so nice to be missed
Thankyou so much TawnyFrog and MyHappyPlace for your messages and concern.

I am okay. In fact I'm pretty good

My health problems (aching joints and tiredness) have finally calmed down after getting a lot worse for a while and I've finally started feeling better.
I got checked for the full range of auto-immune problems (I had a possible auto-immune related recurrent miscarriage problem before I had the little one so that was a real concern) I came out with flying colours, which was good. Of course I ended up feeling like a whining hypochondriac

I'm sorry I disappeared. I've really missed it.

I'm not drinking. However, I did drink a tiny amount (just a sip, not even half a glass) just after I passed 30 days - first with my husband on our anniversary and then with friends the next day.
I haven't drunk anything at all since then.
I wasn't sure how to talk about that or how to think about it. I guess I wanted to still be able to have the toast and be social (which is a huge thing here in Japan), but I also realised that I was playing with fire - which is why I haven't drunk at all since.

Not long before then I had talked about some of my feelings and mental struggles on a different thread on this board and inadvertently unleashed a storm about abstinence vs moderation - which made me feel like crap, so I just avoided the boards altogether.
Also I struggled with the fact that I could no longer say that I was completely AF, but I didn't feel in myself that I was starting over from the beginning or that I had relapsed - because that's not what it was. It was all part of working it out I think.

Exactly 2 months today I said to myself "I can't be drinking like that anymore. I can't be that person anymore", and I think I have succeeded.

G'day Blossoms! Great to see you.

Don't worry about all that non sensical debate. Trivia! And not important. Your feelings are important of course. What is important in my humble view is your state of mind, your journey, and where you are at. Our journey's are by nature different and personal.

Keep kicking AL's ass in your own way.

G bloke. :goodjob:

G'day Techie!

Blossoms,

I just happened to take a look at this thread for the first time and saw your post. I am so happy you are doing well and the pains you were experiencing are getting better! So good to "see" you!

:h NS

A few thoughts from me. I realize that I seldom if ever post anything authentically me. You know, from the heart outside of my frog jpeg collection of course. So, I thought a gentle May thingo just might be the catalyst for such. Well Undies, I think I'm in love. I mean the teenage doing really stupid silly stuff kind of love. The throw Viola on the four poster bed kind of love. The buying a really expensive gift you really can't afford kind of love. The I need a penile implant 'cause I'm old kind of love. The I could sit by a mud oven and hold hands with a woman I don't really know just because I love her kind of love.

Well there it is. I can't say I feel better for the announcement, but the Mr. G/Wendy machinations of late, made me think that sometimes you just need to grab what's in front of you. To just eke out a bit of happiness before you "pop your clogs." I do not need any reminder of how fragile and short life is, remember I logon on here daily so I see it first hand. As a huge fan of you all I just wanted to share.

Well, I've pulled my old bike outta moms basement, filled tires, checked everything so I'll risk a ride. Have a good rest of your day :l

Love it! Have printed a copy to stick up on the fridge.
Ahh, can't blame the dentist, he's the best damned dentist in the Southern Hemisphere.




NEWSBREAK: We got tickets to see David Attenborough in June (on my birthday in fact)
My husband (whom I am reconsidering going back to calling Mr Rags) said to look for somewhere to have dinner and handed me the Good Food Guide......
I'd love to go to Guillaume as we know the maitre d there who took a break and worked at Samuels at Thirroul for a while where we got to know him, and he got to know us and the Teddies quite well. He scored a gong as best waiter.

Then, the Hilton Hotel is where Mr Rags and I had our first date (sort of) so I am thinking lets go to the Glass Brasserie at the Hilton. It's also closer to wheer Mr Attenborough will be talking.

Hmmm, If I go to Guillaume I can take a couple of Teddies, as I've taken Misty there before. It may be frowned on at the Hilton.

So where do you reckon we should go?

That all such decisions I had to make in life were of such an asinine and frivolous nature.......




And the other bit of useless information is that I used to work next to Leo Schofield's office when he was in advertising... he once dictated to his secretary an ad for Womans Day in about 20 seconds as he was walking to the lift, and we both worked at Grace Bros. ..... many years apart....
He is the reviewer of the burnt lobster review all those years ago.

Hi Rags!

Hi Sugar!

Oh isn't that just the ants pants. I wonder if Mr Rags (all is forgiven) could rig up something like that.

Guitarista;1499829 wrote: The Balkan in Darlo!

I'd love to but it's a bit far away. Besides, I'm saving that up for when Missy comes back from Holiday... take her and Mr Missy there.
Would it be safe to take the Teddies there? Or would they end up kebabed?

:H yeah, go the Balkan Rags...or as a backup plan try the Hilton. The teddies will be allowed in, no fear.

Blowy love, nice to see you. Your path is your's like G says. Don't let others opinons sway you from posting and just hanging out. We're a non judgemental lot you'll find

Hey, NS!

Now, Techie. That is such good news. Grab life and love and run while you can with your little clogs on...:h :l

Text a couple of weeks back. All OK.

Just bare in mind that where she lives is very remote and her internet and phone communications aren't the best.

I usually hear from Corrie whe she comes into town and receives messages etc.

Wow. Good to read back and see some nice drop ins. Hello Mumindelaware and Juja and No Sugar.

GREAT to see you back Blowey. We missed you, and I agree with the others. I jumped on and off the wagon so much at first I've got bloody repetitive strain injury. The fact that you've put together 2 months straight off the bat is astonishing and you need to be very proud of yourself. Regarding the debate you mention, you're entitled to your own damn opinion!
