~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

It is 28 days today and I am not one to count but I really wanted to make 30 days as a good start to my 100th quit.

I can't help but admire your fortitude. You never quit at trying to quit. And even if it takes 100 more you'll get there eventually.

weather is finally turning the corner with sunshine and 80 degree temps

I'm jealous of all you with nice weather. While our proper winter (cold and snow) now seems to be over we're back to "normal" winter with weeks of ENDLESS rain. It can get more than a little depressing.

It's still raining here as well [MENTION=24679]Mulburry[/MENTION], and like you I find it quite depressing. Our winters are definitely getting warmer with more rain than snow. Yuck!

Having some friends over for dinner tonight but there will be no booze in sight.

24 more for all of us please...

Nothing but clouds and rain for the next 5 days. I can't remember the last sunny day, it's been so long!

Can you believe we are already in the last week of January 2024?

I'm hoping you feel good about passing up the get-together at the bar, Rava. From where I sit, it seems like the best decision hands down!

24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

Good Morning Cafe. I wake up clear headed and so happy I did not go to the bar yesterday. My friends got home 3 hours later than they predicted. We all know what that means. No thank you. If I am good at one thing it’s quitting. Thank Mul for pointing that out. HAHA. Sorry about all the clouds and rain predicted Dill. That does not make for a happy mood. Wishing everyone a good and relaxing Sunday! 24 more please and thank you!

Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

Time to get breakfast out...

[abcowboy]

There's nothing better than clear-headed mornings [MENTION=24196]Rava[/MENTION], good decision on staying away from the bar!

I see how much rain is in the forecast for your area [MENTION=24679]Mulburry[/MENTION], that's a lot of moisture to deal with.

Not much on the agenda for me today, probably will take down the outside Christmas snowflake light and grill steaks for supper as it's supposed to be 8C (46F) today. Enjoy your Sunday everybody!

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Thanks for the advice on Cy. I'll spare no expense on our Cafe cat. 😻 After all, I have all the extra $ from not buying booze. Lol

Yummy brekkie, ABC!

We are invited to meet SIL at a winery at 2p. It's right in the middle of football games so hubby doesn't want to go. Booze in the middle of the day isn't usually tempting for me but I may pass too. It's not my thing anyway. They leave on Tuesday for home so I'd love to say goodbye. Hmmmm what to do?

Oh well.... I'll take another!

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

It's still raining here as well [MENTION=24679]Mulburry[/MENTION] Our winters are definitely getting warmer with more rain than snow. .

Yup, we had a 2 week winter this year with extreme cold and half meter of snow, but 1.5 weeks later the snow is all gone and we're getting nearly 15C degree temps. It is an El Nino year though so that explain some of it (along with climate change of course).

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Well, the rain finally changed over to snow. Yay! I'll take a white landscape over a grey one any day!

24 more for all of us please...

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Good morning Cafe. Jude your scenery must be nice with the snow. I agree snow over gray any day! Ginger, I dont think I could handle a winery. I never used to have a problem with day drinking until I crossed that invisible line. Thanks for the breakfast yesterday Cowboy. Hope everyone has a great Monday. 24 more please and thank you.

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

I've crossed the invisible line and gone beyond many times, Rava. I think of it as having a broken "off" switch. Once it is broken, I don't think that it is fixable

We could use some snow here too, Jude. The landscape is so dreary!

24 more for all of us here please and thank you.

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

The winery thing never happened. I was just about to call SIL to tell her, when my phone rang. It was her saying they knew hubby didn't want to go so they'd just come over so the guys could watch the game.

Girls took a walk then did some crafting. We ordered a pizza and those that drank, drank. Hubby has been abstaining in solidarity so that's sure made it easier for me lately. Not sure how long that will last but I'll take it while it's here!

Waves to all my buddies! I'll take another.

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

I couldn't sleep last night so I finally gave up and got out of bed at 1:00 am. I made myself some sleepy time tea and sure hope that it kicks in soon!

Looking forward to a sober day which might include a nap. :sleeping:
