Tuesday30 May

[treetops]

Hi Guys - so are we going to move to a monthly thread on 1 June? I am all for it - doesn't mean we just post once a month of course that would not be good. But we can respond as often and when we can. The other good thing about one thread is that you can scroll back and check on what people are up to, while writing.
Hope you are OK Pauly - work provides structure when we are going through uncertainty - so although its not always the greatest place to be - it will help. All the strange dreams etc about your brother will come - its not something that will easily go away. We are here for you.
You too Det - how did you spend the long weekend?

Mick - we are waiting to see about a new cat. Waiting to see if I move overseas and also daughter is away from Aug - Dec - so this is not a good time to adopt a new family member. The office-clearing is gradual - I own everything except the furniture and the computer - and there are a lot of books and several boxes of notes. Many will be thrown or given away - but I have to hang on to some stuff just in case I need it for another job. Its not stuff either than is easily available digitally. The problem is where to put this stuff at home - we dont have a spare room. So things may be a bit messy at home (well they are already) for a while.
I went to my therapist today - this is paid for by my employer and it was helpful a bit.
Hope everyone is doing well - I will leave it up to Mick to supply the jokes. Have to go and get dinner on now

Be good everyone!

I am so skint at the moment that I decided to spend my last pound on a scratch card. I could not believe my luck, I had fck all left to scratch it with.

When it's sunny I think 'Beer garden.'
When it rains I usually go to the pub for a while.
When it's snowing I like to sit in front of the TV with a case of Beer.
I'm starting to think I have a problem with the weather.

Re: Tuesday30 May

HaHa Mick, great jokes as usual. I was impressed by the pictures of the building/digging you did! Wow. Are you done for a while now? What's next on the agenda for summer projects.

TT, lots of changes for you and your family, glad you found the therapist a positive experience. Take care.

Porquoi, that garden sounds wonderful. What a great summer project.

Pie, hello to you.

Sam, nice to see you.

Det where are you, OK? Let us know.

Have a great AF start to your week.

Re: Tuesday30 May

New Deli! Good one, Mick! Thanks for the startup, TT. Hello to you too, Snoopy, and greetings to Lav, Sam, Det, Pauly, and all the usual suspects. PQ, my beginner's luck at real estate continues with a 2nd sale on the horizon. Being constantly sober is a huge factor in being able to respond at a moment's notice. Yesterday at 6pm, I got a request to show a property. No problem, I was out the door in minutes. Last week a client dropped by unexpectedly after 8pm to deliver a check. Again, no problem. I was able to open the door with no fear of slurring my words, or hiding any "evidence." This is the way to live, for sure.

Re: Tuesday30 May

MAE ALL...Wow, where did the day go. I didn't even have time to turn around. So I'm a little confused about going to a monthly thread. Does this mean we are just going to post in the currently named "Motivated in May" thread and on June 1st whatever it's called?

TT...thanks for kicking us off this morning. Happy to hear you still have coverage for your therapist.

Mick...I think most of the monthly crew knows we're coming. LOL As far as the lawyer you are correct, they're not getting any money from me.

Snoop...it is a great summer project and there's always someone in the garden to visit with.

Pi...good luck with the 2nd sale and you are absolutely right about being able to respond at a moments notice.

Pauly...hope you had a good day and that things are starting to settle down. I know you've got a long road ahead of you. Take care of yourself.

Det...worried about you, please check in.

Lav...will say hi now.

So it sounds like we're all in agreement about the monthly thread. Last daily posting tomorrow so let's all remind ourselves about Thursday.
Hope we all have a peaceful evening....:smile:PPQP

Re: Tuesday30 May

Good evening Abbers!

Thanks for the startup TT. I really don't mind how many threads we have going on, just used to them I guess.
I hope you find some place to store your paper work. Is it possible to rent a small storage unit for a while?

Mick, I think a PAGODA is a little gaudy looking for a deck here in cow country, ha ha! The rain has held up construction the past few days anyway. YB has been dealing with a lot of wrist pain & received two Cortisone injections in the wrist today & is now wearing a brace to splint the hand & wrist, oh boy. I hope you can rest up a little too!

Hi there SnoopStar & Pauly!
Pie, congrats on your RE sales, yay!!!! It is good to be clear headed & ready to go to work at a moment's notice.

Det, please check in.

PQ, a busy day goes much quicker

Hello to Sam, SF & the rest of the crew.
Have a decent & peaceful night everyone!
