I don't want to be totally AF......,

[blue1]

Awwwwwww Frances....sorry to hear about your coworker....at least he's not suffering any more. My prayers are with the family!

I hope Friday comes quick for you so you can get some rest!

I have another AF on my calendar for yesterday!
Last night was pretty challenging...still didn't sleep well and my 8 month old grandson didn't make it any easier....he woke up at 3am....when he usually sleeps all night.
I gave him a ba ba....and he went back to sleep...but when I tried twice to lay him down he would wake back up. So I had to let him cry himself back to sleep....which took almost an hour. His mom was suppose to get off at 6am....it's now almost 9am....and she's still not here! I keep saying she's going to have to put them in daycare...but I hate that they won't be able to sleep in their own beds. But she treats me really bad with this babysitting deal!

Gotta go....he's up....I really need some sleep.....

That's so awesome that you had another AF day - good for you! Taking a care of a baby is a lot of work isn't it?! What time did your daughter finally get back?

The gathering was nice and I got to me my friend's mom, dad, brother, and sister. He has such a lovely family I can see where he got his gentle sweet personality. Such a shame to have him die so young. But you are right, at least he's not suffering any more. His wife told me he was really tired of not feeling well and so she was glad that at least he doesn't have to feel that way any more.

Frances, so sorry to hear of the passing of your friend. Nice you got to pay your respects.

Blue, good for you! 2 days. I have only had 1; need to improve! It is such a habit. Need to eat dinner earlier & skip the ol' Happy Hour. Or have an alternate beverage ready.

TMH- you're doing good...one day at a time...right?

Frances- yes...taking care of babies can drive a woman to drink lol

I'm feeling kind of sad right now....cause my daughter went to look at a place through housing authority....and she's taking it. On a good note I'll be eligible to get paid for keeping the children now that she won't be living with me. But that's at night....and I don't want to worry about them doing the day. Maybe she'll do way better than what I'm thinking....being on her own. She's going to have to take their beds so we have to figure out new sleeping arrangements.
Maybe this will be good for me...I needed a new project....so we'll see....

Of course I'm drinking today....but I'll take it easy.

Frances- sorry...I didn't answer you about what time my daughter got home....she got here around 9am.....said she had gotten on the bus and realized she had left her wallet (with her bus pass in it) at work and had to get off and walk back to get it....and she couldn't call me cause her phone is broke from the baby getting slober in it.

I feel a bit of depression trying to creep in...I'm going to have to do something that makes me happy....hmmmmm wonder what?

Quite relieved Erica has been downgraded. Sure we will get plenty of wind & rain.

Entertaining tonight. Attitude Adjustment Hour starts at 5p. I am seriously thinking of not partaking. May enjoy it more as in the past I have found as the evening wears on I find myself getting cranky and thinking enough is enough. It would be great to enjoy myself & wake up Sunday feeling great, go to church, play a little golf before more rain hits.

Will let you know tomorrow. Have a great weekend!

TMH-Glad they downgraded Erica!

Whatever you choose to do will be fine....don't be so hard on yourself....I will be AF on Monday and maybe Tuesday...care to join me? Wednesday is my birthday....I'll be turning 50! So...I know I'm going to drink....but I'm going to try to take it easy...cause I plan on getting up early on Thursday so I can go to the zoo....I've never been to the zoo....ain't that crazy? lol

Everybody have a successful Saturday!!!

[ToMyHealth]

Nice evening. Did join in with some wine. We had a good time. Lots of leftover grilled steak & veggies.
Sure, Blue, I'll join you for Mon & Tues. Where is the birthday celebration? 50 yrs young! Are you feeling better?

[frances]

That sounds fun blue - I hope you have a great birthday and a great time at the zoo! I turn 50 in October so we are very close in age.

Hope you have a great Sunday!

Things are good here - had a glass of wine last weekend on Saturday and another on Sunday while I was away for the weekend with my family. Nothing 2 weeks before that and nothing since. No 'plans', and I pretty much don't plan to drink but if there is an occasion that arises I will consider it. This is what works for me...anyhing more regular does not because I just wind up drinking too much every day.

TMH-Some of my family and friends are meeting me at a seafood buffet that I love! (can you imagine all you can eat crab legs??? Plus chicken dishes....beef dishes....etc.
It's called Hokkaido. I'm sooo excited!!! 2 more days and I'll be 50....I can't believe it! I've waited for this for so long!

Frances- you are doing an awesome job!!!! You keep me encouraged! My plan for the moment is to be AF on Mondays and Tuesdays for 4 weeks then add in AF Wednesdays for 4weeks....ans so on and so forth.....until I'm only drinking on the weekends.

Hope everyone is having a successful Sunday!
