Anyone in the First Week of Their Unpteenth Quit?

[Ginger999]

SS, I enjoyed your blog post this morning. You are part of my morning routine and I get all giddy when I see a new post from you. You are a very wise woman and I'm so glad I met you!

We are off for a hike up Black Mountain. It's about 8 miles and a lot of elevation gain. Hopefully the pay off will be a great vista!

I'll check in proper later....

Hey all, dang Ginger, you guys sure stay active! That's great, hubs and I need to start doing more stuff but he's pretty lazy and so am I a lot of the time, going to watch Louie today, hope he's a gentleman anybody have plans for the weekend? I want to go up to the white castle they just opened, it's a big ole hoopla around here, lines out the door and such, maybe I'll wait until the crowd dies down, plus it's on the strip and I hate going up there, hope everyone has a good Friday, I'll be back later

Another busy day for me. Tired, so I guess I'll go to bed soon. Hope you're all ok. As for me, I'm keeping it classy.

[Ginger999]

Hi all! Had a great hike today. Tired but happy we got up and back with no issues. Just hanging out in the RV watching a little TV. We got an invite out tonight but we both just wanted to stay home and veg.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

GMAE all. Just a quick check in. Still working and will be doing so til some time tomorrow morning. At least it's just monitoring and haven't had to do anything more yet and I'm getting caught up with Criminal Minds. Up to season 6. Only 4 more or so to go til I'm caught up. Worked through classes again today, will be doing so again come the morning. Monday was snowed out but nothing else on the docket for Sunday. Plenty of time to read back through.

Hi Ori, Glad you checked in. We missed you around here! What is it you do for a living?

[Lizann]

Good morning. Just spoke to my daughter on the phone. She is in Puerto Rico after a week long cruise. How I have missed her! I will pick them up tonight from the airport and truly I cannot wait to see her! More kitchen stuff today. Shopping for back splash and cleaning more cabinets on the agenda for today. I'll check back in later! Hope you are all feeling strong today. Have a great AF Saturday!

[paulywogg]

Wish I was in Puerto Rico instead going to work, yay,I'm off to a late start so saying hi and bye

[open halo]

Hi and bye pauly! Have a good day at work, maybe you'll have time to stop at the white castle! I have never been to one, but I hear it's pretty good.

Ginger, love to hear you are going on hikes. I love them as well.

Kitchen reno's sound like they are coming along nicely Lizann, your daughter is going to come back all relaxed and tanned. Good for her! It's funny how you want a break from the kids and then when they are only gone for a day, you miss them so much!

Going to a birthday party tonight at a BAR, have not been out for awhile, have kept socializing to a minimum but am feeling strong enough to go to this function tonight, don't want to miss celebrating a good friend's day. Have a plan and am carrying my phone , so if need be will check in here to keep on track. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

[Ginger999]

OH, good luck tonight. Check in as much as you need to. I'll keep my eye out for you!

[mama bear]

good luck tonight OH....you sound strong.
It appears as though my old, but much loved cat may have diabetes

[BeachGirly]

MB - oh no, poor kitty.
Will she get shots? or will you have to give her pills?

My kitty had that and still lived to be 17. She was a sweetie as well.

Hey all, work was busy and I'm tired I hate being tired and grouchy, then it turns into anxiety for some reason, probably cuz I smoke and drink coffee to stay awake, anybody got any good sleep tips? I've tried,5 htp,don't work anymore, melatonin, benadryl, I can fall asleep brilliantly, it's just I wake up for the bathroom and I'm just up

[Ginger999]

Pauly, have you tried meditation? I have some peaceful sounds on my phone and sometimes that works to get me back to sleep. I've tried all the things you listed too and they never worked for me either.

[open halo]

Had some laughs and a toast with friends (no AL for me!) and am home before the witching hour (midnight), I used to stumble home with little to no recall of the night's events, between 2 or 3 am when I used to go out. Now I will have no hangover, no feeling like crap, no guilt, shame or remorse and will have a great day ahead of me tomorrow. That's what we get when we say I want a better life for myself, and kick AL to the curb. Thanks for being on the lookout for me Ginger and for helping me and all the rest of us find the strength to keep on this great path..

Sorry you can't sleep pauly, that continues to be my problem as well, let's brainstorm some more solutions tomorrow.

goodnight everyone!
