Happy Sunday everyone.
Looks like the talk has turned to weather and yes, it was a great day here yesterday. I had a lovely walk (well climb actually) through a forest while daughter was being Robin Hood. She seems to enjoy it a lot. Only problem is that even with lots of sunscreen she gets sunburnt. We may not live in the desert like Pauly does but we do live in a part of the globe that is fierce as far as UV rays go.
Otherwise I did some housework ?and like you Yah, I detest such activities. I have been giving said daughter little talks about the division of labour and how we all live in this house together
I see Mick has morphed into McMurphy ? you can?t keep away from those lock-up places can you! Maybe tomorrow Mick will have become Nurse Ratched. Hope you are safe and sound from the winter storms.
Hi there SF ? hope your weekend is going well with your boys. I don?t mind working at night if it's the more creative side of my work- it's the admin that's a drag.
Yoga, including Bikram yoga, is popular here.
PPQP (and other Canucks?) - how did people react to the mayor of Toronto? For sure he is not the poster-boy of substance abuse and alcoholism. I guess he proves that alkies too can be obnoxious, unattractive, in-denial jerks ? but I am fed-up with all the sick jokes about him. Its so easy to laugh at the fall-down drunk. I just wonder what wider conversation this may have opened-up about alkies.
Lav ? have you walked away the coffee yet? You deserve this break ? and I betcha its nothing compared to the time you spent sitting nursing another sort of beverage in the past!
Well I have another gratitude to report. The other night daughter went out after one of her exams ? that was OK, she had permission to do so and she was in a group of friends ? but we are not used to her going out ? and also she does have a boyfriend now. I found myself handling this much more calmly than if I had been drinking. I also had the fall-back to know that I could always get in the car and collect her late at night. She was really fine when she came home so that was not the issue ? but I did have to field some panicky texts from her friends? parents. So I was grateful that I was AF that evening and that I did not over-react to what I did not see as a crisis. (I think for once memories of my own wayward teenage years helped me put this in perspective too).
Sorry that was long-winded ? but it's been a morale booster for me to see how my sobriety may help me through daughter?s teenage years.
Very best to everyone else ? Bear, Det, Sun, Molly, the lurkers from the Army !!!, Sam, SL and one and all.
Enjoy your Sunday.
