Re: Newbies Nest

Good evening Nesters,

Having a quiet Sunday & that’s OK with me
Rain starting soon so I need to go get the chickens closed up for the night.

Battle, I hope your research provides you with some good insight. Take care!

Wags, I sure hope your Sunday was good for you. One day to rest/play doesn’t seem like enough to me.

Hello to all & wishing everyone a safe night in the nest!

Re: Newbies Nest

Ava - you've definitely had a lot going on with your fur kids recently. Glad Carl is home after second leg operation and I hope he's feeling better very soon. Hope you're able to enjoy your week off.

Lav - no snow please! Hope you have a good Sunday.

Battle - your research sounds super interesting. Are you finding that you see yourself in the material you're reading, or not so much? Either way, having some personal insight into things seems like it would indeed be fascinating.


Ok kids - I made it through all of my long days and tomorrow is my day to play. Well mostly. I have to help my dad with a few things but I have classes to teach or homework to send or anything and that makes me very happy. I really love my work but it's also very mentally tiring so days off help me stay in balance.

Happy Sundays to you all!

Re: Newbies Nest

Evening all, or morning really, a quick check in because I let it get waaaay too late whilst working and I need my bed haha. I'll catch up more tomorrow, if I don't get distracted again - I'm on the part of my project where I'm researching OCD as its one of the topics I'm covering and as a person with OCD it is fascinating.

Re: Newbies Nest

Good Saturday evening all,

Cloudy & cooler here but not bad. The rest of the country is getting snow & I don’t need that.

Wags, you’ve certainly had a busy week. Sure hope you get a dry day Sunday to get out for some fresh air & exercise.
I’m thinking about the missing Nesters & keeping my fingers crossed they are all OK

Ava, wow you have been busy too! I hope carl heals quickly & gets back to being his sweet self real soon.
Nice that yo got the insulin pen for the other & don’t have to go through the hassle of drawing up each dose from a big vial. I hope she does well with her surgery too. Having your daughter back will change things a bit but you’ll have company & maybe an extra hand to help out. Sorry to hear about your friend, geez that’s a lot to take on. I know yuo’ll be a good supportive friend.

Hello to all (wherever yo are) & wishing a safe night in the nest for all!

Re: Newbies Nest

evening nesters

Been so busy with fur babies that life just rushes along and throw in work and 24 hours a day isnt enough.

all good here, Carl had his second leg operated on yesterday and he is home now. wont eat so he cant have his pain meds, silly boy. he does have a fentanyl patch on so think he is doing ok though. I forgot how sad he would be but am sure he will be back to his happy self soon.

My daughter has moved back in with Bob, going well thus far and i need the money after spending nearly 7 grand on Carl. Hopefully will get to go on a holiday later this year.

Went to see a diabetes specialist for my foster girl and it was really interesting, she gets desexed this Wednesday and hopefully this will help. i do now have her on an insulin pen once a day so i am not on such a rigid routine with her.

I am having a week off work so that is good, not much of a break but at least i am not working also.

Going for coffee with my friend tomorrow, she has chronic kidney disease and has just found out she has thryoid cancer and is 44. just cant seem to get my head around that one.

Congrats Battle on 21 days that is great work. Keep it up.

Glad everyone is going well, getting cooler here now and days are shorter so winter is coming, looking forward to it actually.

take care xx

Re: Newbies Nest

NS - I'm in the same place with my quit I think. It's highly unlikely I would drink without it being a conscious choice to do so, and I'm pretty adamant about not doing that. Glad you are too!

Lav - hopefully you're right about no news is good news. I sure do miss people, but am very glad we've got a small core checking in pretty consistently.

Battle - I'm so sorry to hear that your meds are making it difficult to work. Pain management is part art, part science, and what works for one person definitely isn't guaranteed to work for another. I'm sure it's been difficult but kudos to you on staying AF


I made it through my grueling week! I've got two classes to teach tomorrow and then Sunday totally off. Hopefully we'll get a break in the rain and we can do something fun.

Happy weekends everyone!

Re: Newbies Nest

Greetings Nesters,

We’’re getting a chilly rain, just as promised. I don’t have to go anywhere tonight so sitting home sounds ideal

Wags & NS, at what point do you think we need to send out the search dogs for the missing Nesters? Years ago I used to threaten to send out a nasty chicken or two to search for people, Lol
I’m going to go with the ‘no news is good news’ theory for now.

Battle, I’m sorry you can’t work when taking your pain med. Could you possibly get a smaller dose so yuo can stay alert but get some pain relief? Have you called your prescriber? I hope you can work something out & good job on remaining AF.

Well hello to all & wishing everyone a safe night in the nest!

Re: Newbies Nest

Evening,

Bad pain day yesterday, generally felt super down so missed check in. Still not in a great place, I'm avoiding my painkillers because they mess with my work but its making for a fairly miserable time. Still AF but its definitely been harder the last couple days.

Re: Newbies Nest

Hi, again, Wags and Lav. Nothing big to report but I guess that is ok. Glad I'm not logging on to confess that I decided to drink!! At this point it definitely would be a decision, made with my logical mind. The days of blaming my addicted animal brain are long gone and I'm grateful for that!! Have a good weekend, everyone.

Re: Newbies Nest

Checking in - busy and all is well. I knew I was setting myself up with a heavy workload now so that June-Aug can be a lot lighter, and I will say I succeeded on the heavy part!

Lav and NS - yes, hope all the other nesters we haven't seen recently are doing well and living their best sober lives.

Take care everyone!

Re: Newbies Nest

Good evening Nesters,

Sunny & a comfy 50 degrees here, not complaining

NS, I hope you’re right that everyone is busy but doing well. After all, that is the goal

Wags, busy as usual. Hope everything is OK with you as well.

Battle, I hope you’re doing well & getting better pain relief now.

Wishing everyone a safe night in teh nest!

Re: Newbies Nest

3 weeks is great, Battle. Congratulations!

This nest is pretty empty, isn't it Lav. Let's hope all the fledglings and older birds are doing well!!

Re: Newbies Nest

Quick sober check-in. This has been a long week with two more long days then a fairly easy weekend. Can't wait!

Waves and hellos to everyone!

Re: Newbies Nest

Greetings Nesters,

Battle, Congrats on your 21 days/3 weeks AF! You’re doing well, keep going.
I’m sorry about your job worries. We will all keep our fingers crossed for you & hope that helps :hug:

Wags, I agree, time is weird & the older you get the weirder it gets, honestly! I hope the rest of the week goes by quickly for you.

Missing so many Nesters & hoping they pop in soon for a visit.
Wishing everyone a safe night in the nest!

Re: Newbies Nest

Evening all

Busy day at work, meetings, minutes, all that boring administrative stuff. Friend took me to get my shopping again, came back with my favourite cookies and some fun Easter crafting things, so the days not all bad.

Wags - my job is at my university but not connected to my studies, I actually work in admin for the school of maths, which is about as far from what I study as you can get (although I have spent the week processing data so maybe I should revise that opinion haha)
