Your input has been very interesting. Welcome back.
Sorry about your temporary setback.

Hello Ed.Hope all is fine - no hurricane.

Thanks Gillian.
It's making a turn again that puts it back on track to come here.(Florida SE coast)
The thing about a hurricane is that they affect thousands of folks.
Don't worry about me.
I'll be in my bathtub with a flashlight.
If it comes, it'll be Wednesday night/ Thursday.

Good evening Lyn, good evening Lola. Hope you are both well.

Has temperature dropped that much? You're not the one to feel the cold......hmmmmm. Here, the weather is unstable. The temperature drops then rises, and at night it gets rather cold.......brrrrrrr I'm the one to say it now. Mind you, during the day temperature reached 32 degrees C: LOVELY!

Hi Gillian Lola and I are well thank you - hope the same for you and Oli.
It's not really that cold for the time of year but it was a bit of a shock to the system after such a mild Sept. to have a sudden drop at night. Temps still in the mid teens - half of what you're getting!

So sorry to hear this, hope you're OK or at least coping with the support of your kids.
You know where we are if you want a chat or a moan.
We don't always have answers but we are all pretty good listeners.

Is the flashlight so you can find the soap?

Well another day ends for me so I'll say Nos da and wish you all a happy Tuesday.
Take care.

Hoping your health is okay. I actually don't drink whatsoever. I've wondered if I'd fit in at a future CDR meetup.
Stress can do a lot of damage as well.

You can be one of the sober spectators with me

 

[ZEROPILOT]

I also don't.

Only if you let me wear the unicorn mask.

 

[Prairie Mom]

much better, thanks.

still due to speak to my boss and get chewed out :/ , the doc gave me a number to call regarding the drinking, thinks i should try coucleing.

Hope the boss talk goes alright!
Counseling couldn't hurt. I have no idea if you really feel like you need it now or not, but I'm a pretty big proponent of it. I think everyone should do it way more often and I don't think people should feel like it needs to be so "hush-hush." I I've done if for periods of time, several times over the years and I take my kids whenever I think they could use some additional help sorting things out and getting some issues off their chests. Minds need to be healed just as often as our bodies and we do physical check ups regularly.

 

[Prairie Mom]

Don't feel ashamed of it either. There isn't a single one of us without something we'd rather that hadn't happened.

The counsellor is there to help you. And so are we.

awww...love it! I'm joining in on the electronic group hug!! I'm pretty good at making spines pop

Good morning
It now looks a little less likely that this hurricane will hit the peninsula of Florida.
You can tell that a storm is out there. The skies are mysteriously blue.
These storms seem to pull all of the weather towards it. It is literally the calm before the storm.

wow...that's soooo interesting!

oh man...I'm sorry to hear this. There isn't much harder than what you're going through. I hope you can find lots of things to do and feel good about. It takes serious amounts of work, doesn't it? It took me about 8 months to go from feeling like I'm PRETENDING to live a good life to actually start GENUINELY LIVING a good life again. You'll get there, my friend.

So, I'm diving back into the world of retail seasonal work this year. Was offered the job at my interview today. The cash will be really good for me. I'll still get my meager teacher pay even when school is out over Christmas, and I'm starting at a decent hourly wage at the mall. I'll soon be sporting a fantastic blue polo shirt at Best buy. I'm going to look soooo HOT! Store sales are going to SOAR through the roof just from people lining up to see me tuck in my polo shirt!!! ---awwww man...I hate tucking in my shirt!!! It'll show my poochy belly!!!

I think I'll need to start watching the tv show "Chuck." And time to use the employee discount to replace my broken down Wii.
