    Re: One Step at a Time - June 2018

    Rusty – I hope you had a safe trip home and are now relaxing.

    Nora, honey– I really think you underestimate yourself in terms of your work. Just because your current boss isn’t giving you the recognition you deserve doesn’t mean you’re not indispensable. Their behaviour speaks more to them than you and they most certainly wouldn’t have kept you around for all this time if you didn’t add significant value to the company.

    Bird – Gosh – you are such a strong person. You have so much to deal with. I hope your daughters are both OK.

    Liz, Pauly – sending you hugs.

    In happier news, I went shopping today and bought a small mountain of toys for HRH. The first shop I went to had a great range of wooden toys so I bought a huge train set, and another set of accessories for it, and then got a little carried away and bought more... and more.... Oops! Oh well, Every 21 month year old budding barista needs a little wooden coffee machine to call her own.
    Love
    Gladys.

      Morning friends,haha Glassy I laughed when I saw Gladys I've always had Glassy programmed into my phone and just don't know where Gladys started coming from,weird,glad you went on a shopping spree for the little g-daughter,im guilty of it too,Louie has sooooo many toys and yet I still buy them,Kell was trying to sort through them and give some he doesn't play with to a charity but it's overwhelming,his fave over here is a pop-up train fort with tunnels,Nora,wow I hadn't realized you've been there for so long! I agree with Liz tho the rest of this time time will fly,I had work drama yesterday but its too long to explain and honestly I still don't understand what's going on? Kell decided she doesn't want to work Sunday anymore so the manager hired some creepy guy,all the girls threw a fit with her about it so she decided to tell him on Sunday they don't need him but for some reason she's lying to the girls telling them Kell's gonna work? So I said no she's not and the manager "had a talk" with me,I'm sooooo confused and I told her don't pull this shit with me,we're all self employed and the "manager" is played to clean,deposit money and take care of the elderly owner's paperwork,NOT to boss us around and she knows that cuz when one of the other girls was doing that job it's what we all said,I'm just irritated that she got pissed cuz I didn't want to lie,so weird,she takes opioids for fun and I think they're making her feckin paranoid,Bird,how's things with your girls? Better I hope,Rusty how's mom doing? Hafta go drop my car off to get the a/c charged so off I got,much love to all and wishes for a fabulous AF Friday!
      I have too much shit to do today and tomorrow to drink:sohappy:

      I'm taking care of the "tomorrow me":thumbsup:
      Drinkin won't help a damn thing! Will only make me sick for DAYS and that ugly, spacey dumb feeling-no thanks!

        Seriously having trouble posting today! I've tried 3 times. Pauly, glad you stood up to your manager. I laughed at Gladys too! I got all excited cuz I thought there was someone new!

        Glassy, how cute you bought all that stuff for HRH. It's hard to contain ourselves with the little ones. Erin's mantra is always "it can live at your house". I hear those words in my head and refrain, sigh. . .

        Erin was involved in a car accident last evening on her way home from my house. She was rear ended and sandwiched between two cars. Thank God they were all going slowly and although there is damage to the front and rear of her car she was able to drive home. The police and he ambulance came and thankfully everyone was unhurt. Logan cried on impact but then thoroughly enjoyed the lights and policemen. The one officer held him while Erin moved her car. He like playing with all the buttons in the police car. What a trooper! Never a dull moment. Hubby knew last night but was afraid to tell me. Erin called to tell me today. I was more upset about that, but I said nothing. They keep waiting for me to "lose my sh**". So far so good.

        Well that was my day. Off to sit with daddy for the evening. Have a good one

          Oh Liz - how awfully scary. I'm so glad they were OK, but you must be feeling very fragile. Sending lots of hugs.
          Gee, you've been through so much in such a short time - I echo what I said to Bird - you are very strong. Probably much stronger than you ever know or give yourself credit for. And that goes for everyone else here too - Nora, Pauly, Rusty. You are all very strong women and I admire you all very much.

          In fact if there are any lurkers reading this they need to know this too. Deciding to change your relationship with alcohol, when the entire society you live in is constantly promoting it, is **** hard work. Anyone who manages to do it, or even attempts it, no matter how many times it takes is an absolute champion. :heartbeat::heartbeat::heartbeat:

            I just realised we haven't had Chatty Nora Friday yet. Am I too early or does someone over there need to give her a nudge and check she's OK?

              In Nora's absence, I'm now naming this Chatty Gladys' Saturday. COME BACK NORA!!!!!!!

              I'm having a problem at work too (why I went for the interview last week). It's a bit of a long story, but because of recent changes the position above mine has been abolished. So to save money they've decided I'll be doing that job as well as mine but still be paid the same. I like a lot of things about my job but I really hate injustice!!!!!

                  Hi Liz. I'm not sure why that makes you refrain. To me that's just an invitation to buy more . I just buy whatever I like and then say "It can live at my place if you don't have room".

                      Hi, Steppers

                      I posted these links in the NN earlier but think you might like reading them, too:

                      This an excerpt from a book that is being released in August: Trying to Kill the Want.
                      I think many of us can relate and she is an exceptional writer. Her blog is a good one, too: Off-Dry – I got sober. Life got big..

                        Wow! Thank you for sharing this. I am not even done reading the excerpt and just had to come over & say thank you.

                        This line really hit home

                        Because I didn’t want to stop drinking. I wanted to stop wanting to drink.

                          I'm sorry that so many are having job problems. It is not fun for dang sure. And Glassie, I get you about doing so much more without pay. Pauly, glad you stood up to the manager. That's ridiculous.
                          I am getting excited to be able to buy the baby things. I'm already thinking that I'll have to have a lot of stuff here. LOL

                          We are watching Charlie's Angels. You remember that old TV show? Hilarious - I think it's from the 70's?

                              Liz - that would have upset me that they didn't tell you last night either. They can't treat you with kid gloves like this. To me that would just make me more stressed out. I'm so glad that they weren't hurt. So scary.

                                You thought I was weird & chatty before........just wait. I just took 2 benadryl and used benadryl cream. I'm going to be out of it pretty soon, I imagine.
                                I have been bitten by something. I have at least 12 bites from my upper left arm down to the side of my right foot! Wouldn't you think I would have felt/see this creature?!?!?! :exclaim::egad:
                                I am off to google some images - these are big raised white welts. I should post a picture. I'm sure that is what everyone wants to do on the Nora & Gladys chats - look at bug bites. :harhar:
