ONE STEP AT A TIME... AUGUST, 2014

What's everyone up to for the weekend?
With spring sniffing at the back door, i will ride my nags and cook a rockin shepherds pie for my old dad.
I'm not going to ride my rags, as said before! Sounds faintly obscene!!!

Hi Cori. You sound well. Just having my first sip of coffee and checking in

ONE STEP AT A TIME... AUGUST, 2014

Morning all ! Laughed at why is there only ever one shoe chucked out on the freeway? I agree !!!

Hope everyone is feeling better - Dottie - try going without the oil for a day or two and see if you do not get the allergy stuff - I was getting allergy stuff and it turned out to be Aleve of all things ! Now I am scared to take any painkiller as someone told me another painkiller has the same stuff as Aleve but I cannot remember what it was .....

Yes, Kradle, it was me that was working with a great therapist - still am and she still is wonderful - it is hard to explain - we got rid of why I drink and got rid of me enjoying drinking so when I do, I don't even enjoy it any more - which makes when I drink even worse !! She can only do so much - I have to do some work too, and need to step up to the mark. Yesterday I had ice cream and that seemed to work instead of drink - but is not the answer - might work temporarily though LOL

Jan - how do you feel ? Are you still taking the ABX ? Please take them until they are gone - yes I know I am sounding like a broken record but you cannot keep some 'in case you get this again'. It will not get rid of it properly this time and then will definitely not work the next time .....

Zen - so glad that things are finally moving with your cousin! Bet she is relieved too - poor girl !!! Hope that your tummy bug is over - nothing worse than that!!

Hi Cori - seems funny you saying about spring coming and here are we coming to the end of summer.

Nora - hope that you are feeling better - wonder what set you off ?

Kradle - I think that you have so much to cope with that your body doesn't know which way is up! It is probably stress causing everything with you - there seems to be so much going on for you - hopefully when things settle down a bit things will start to get back into kilter. In the meantime, it sounds as if you are doing all the right things......

Hey to anyone I have missed - have a great day - and we had RAIN yesterday - over THREE inches - LOL. Either feast or famine - my MIL lost both her TV's due to lightning strikes AND she had surge protectors on both of them - the techs told her that the protectors only protect against surges not actual strikes !! So both TV's are dead!

Sunni - I always wondered if there was an amputee convention going on, for just ONE shoe to be chucked.
I'm also in awe of all the steppers who post long posts.......i lose concentr..........

Good morning!

Baby Erin was born at 4.46 a.m. UK time, weighing 8lb 6oz. Both her and her mum are in fine fettle!

I'm getting my hair done today at 11.00. Going to try to get my hooves done today too. I have to go shopping for presents, especially for the baby, and still have a lot of loose ends work-wise. Just remembered I have to fill moan creams to take with.

Sorry I haven't been commenting to everyone as much as normal, between tummy bug, baby and getting squared away for the Scotland trip next week I've been a bit distracted. Lots of these to everyone... :l :h :l :h :l

Sunshine,i hope you're feeling better today,drinking is the pits and at first we think it's making us happy then whamo,we're crying,i wish i could just remember the bad parts when i get those urges,jeez i wanted to sleep in sooo bad today but shit,i'm wide awake,i think it's cuz i was so tired when drinking last month,now my body is coming back to life,dunno,gonna hit 99 cent store later,and maybe buy a cute bra at this other discount store i go to,i like the racerback ones so you don't see straps when you wher a tank top,that's one of my pet peeves! hope everyone has a lovely Fridaybtw i miss K9 too

:H that had me rolling Cori and it's Sooooooo true!! I think the one show is only because I they throw the other one out of the car further up the road...
Morning everyone.
BIG HUGS :l AND HAPPINESS TO YOU AUNTI ZEN!! And yes, Erin is a wonderful name- my niece is an Erin so I may be biased...

Pauly, so sorry about Michelle but on the bright side, he didn't leave until they were both back in Vegas. It would have been awful if he'd dome that while they where still in Olympia...I would have had to go down there and kick his keister hate to say it but sounds like a time for some tough love , honey:l

Hey Sun- I have felt the same exact way about drinking... Not really interested but find a drink in my hand nonetheless... I can only think its habit...simple I know but habits are really my last blasting zone and the only way to blow them up and out of my life is to replace them day in and day out, slowly time and time again- Very Boring I know but no quick fixes as we all know...Man I HATE that!!:upset: as Carrie Fisher wisely pointed out: Instant Gratification takes too long...
Oh and I agree it's mainly stress...unfortunately it's going to get worse before better when the girls go to their new school and Matt comes Home... Definitely one step at time over here..one breathe at a time...

Off to spend the day with hubs before the twins come home tomorrow...boating and crabbing...should help with some of this foggy headed lethargy, migraine garbage going on my head...
Love youse!

Oh Dots- didn't mean to not say hi. I'm so sorry about the oils.. There was a gal in the presentation last summer who actually began to get sore in her mouth from the OnGaurd.. They are some powerful things but I still feel they do much more good than harm... You just need to experiment and adjust them to your own physiology- one oil definitely doesn't fit all..
Feel better, sweetie! :l:h

OK... so you know how I'm overwhelmed getting everything ready before I go, with this new work I'm doing? And I couldn't go outdoors yesterday with the stomach bug so I missed a day of doing my OWN shit (and was already behind the 8 ball before that with these guys bugging me all hours). So I go to get my hair done at 11 today and they had over scheduled and it took me THREE FECKIN HOURS to get out of there.

My hair looks fine, I guess. Cost me twice as much as usual. WTF... pissed me off even more. My guy was on vaca.

Anyway, the traffic has been shit all day and I haven't got hardly anything accomplished and I'm really stressed the fuck out and I'm now sitting here with a drink. I want to throw it down the garburator and go to the gym but it's helping me regain calm. I used to be able to handle stress but it seems that's shifted. It's been coming on for almost 2 weeks, just ramping up each day and today I blew over a comment I'd normally take in my stride. Actually, I blew the other day too on the Army thread but I think we all knew THAT was coming after the taunts they sent our way.

I guess I'll finish this and call Jim and go to the gym and try and work it AND the stress off.

It's people pulling at me... I'm not used to it anymore. I'm still in my training wings being back in the fray and this is really not their fault, it's mine because I've become a flipping sissy. Aaaargh! :upset:

OK, big girl's nickers... off to find 'em and put 'em on.

Apologies, again, for not responding to anyone. I will...

Love yiz... :l

p.s. I had to look to see what the "one shoe" was about. That's bloody funny! They throw pairs of them over the wires here, they hang on with their shoelaces for years like retarded Christmas decs. No clue what that's about either but I'm sure it denotes a good night out. Least there's two of them.
