Wow Diana, great job on the master en suite! Looks like a wonderful place to soak and relax. I see the added bonus of you in the mirror taking the picture. Looking good!0

Hey lushes, I'm logging another zero for today....
Pt load today:
89 yo male with congestive heart failure - probably my best one
Somalian man who speaks no English who keeps sneaking milk despite MD orders for a clear diet to prep for surgery
320 lb. male with a hip replacement - Post Op Day #1
Alcohol withdrawal guy walking around naked and peeing on the floor and then falls later in the shift
Sad thing is that I probably have to work until my death....
Diana, I love the color that you picked out and all the clean lines....beautiful....looks like you added some trim work as well.0 -
*kitten*....Thursday, 2 beers!!0
-
Kim, I do not envy your job...you are a saint!
Wolf, love love love the bathroom, great job!!!!!!!!!
Last night, 2 glasses of white wine (12oz) and 1 shot of cherry vodka
Tonight, probably finish that bottle and maybe a cocktail. I am trying to get out of work early so I can clean and do food prep for guests coming over tomorrow.
Happy friday!0 -
Nice bathroom Wolf. I like the paint better than the wallpaper for sure!
Kim, ditto...I don't envy that. You are a saint!
I considered a drink last night, but we don't really have anything in the house I like except Kettle and I refuse to mix that with juice, etc. and I didn't really feel like a dirty martini....so 0 it was. Tonight Eric is playing golf and probably won't be home till around 7 or 8, so the baby and I will most likely walk to the liquor store and I'll drink a bottle of wine and watch a Lifetime movie. Tomorrow we're headed to Lexington to hang out with friends around their pool, so most likely an all day drinking event.
Have a great weekend lushes!0 -
ITS FRIDAY! LETS DRINK!0
-
Week so far while mom has been visiting:
Monday - wine
Tuesday - wine
Wednesday - beer, malt beverage then wine
Thursday - wine and beer
Friday - will be wine
Family dinner tonight, I actually love my family so I get quite excited when we have a dinner since we don't do it often and tend to only see everyone around the holidays. We definitely like to drink so there will be wine before our spaghetti and meatball dinner
:drinker:
Happy Friday lushes! :flowerforyou: :glasses:0 -
Diana...that's great work you did! I bet that wallpaper removal was a b!tch!
Kim...bless you.
I drank vodka last night. Too much. I'm gonna go for a 0 tonight and regroup.
Happy weekend everyone!0 -
Epic fail.I have a plan to go home tonight and clean instead of drinking. I will let you all know how that turns out.
More vodka. I figured out why I was still drinking so much. Although the awful stress is gone I am dealing with the less severe but still there stress of a new job. I am sure I will get a handle on this whole issue soon.
Diana I love the bathroom. I wish mine was worth remodeling.0 -

Hi msam- must admit I had to look up Camus! A cognac I see. Welcome to the board! Lots of good supportive ppl here.
Happy Friday to all my fellow lushes. Past two days have been a zero so I believe I have to feed my alcohol deprived brain cells. They HATE thinking clearly! :grumble: :drinker:0 -
:drinker: Epic fail for me tonight. Or , looking at it from another point of view, quite successful in drinking wine. Had to tell someone off today. Fed up and F off, man. Stop being high maintenance, then we can talk.
I better go watch some tv.
Tomorrow I get to kiss and hug my grandbabies. Much much better day

Ohhhh, peeps, I am not a saint but thanks for the kind words. Day 2 is always better except they sent my ortho pt to the ortho unit. Then, they gave me a pancreatic cancer guy that I know is going to die very, very soon. It's a new diagnosis for him and he is only 40'ish. He had his first chemo and he's not tolerating it well.
His heart was in a funky rhythm that couldn't be controlled. I had to call cardiology twice for new orders, passed out on the commode trying to go to the bathroom and mouth blisters all over his mouth. By noon, he went to the ICU. Here's my advice, if you ever have pancreatic cancer, DO NOT GO thru the treatment. Chances are 1 to 3% you will survive and you will be so MISERABLE AND WANT TO DIE anyway with treatment. There is NO QUALITY of life.
Friday, 2 large beers at Chammps but I didn't even finish the second.
I was cancelled today and plan to run this morning and have a date day with Ron. He's going to Chicago on a business trip and taking our 2 younger boys since all the family is there. I am sure that some cocktails will be involved. Also, want to get some landscape finished.
I also promise not to crap on about work anymore - it's just been a crazy couple of days.0 -
Welcome home Amy
Renny you did what you had to do.
Kim- you are a saint. It takes a special person to do the things you do so well.
ms - sorry about all the rain.
One bottle of white last night. It went really well with the huge shrimp we grilled. Holly called yesterday and she is really missing her friends and job in MN. She is happy to be with her sister and neice but it will get on her nerves sooner than she thought it would.
Today will be working on the yard and getting some laundry done. I have been craving pulled pork so I may just have to work on that for dinner.
Have a great day all.0 -
Your grandbabies will cure all headaches, Renny.
I had 0 yesterday but failed on the food front..I ate crap!
Its frustrating when all my good work during the week gets wiped out in one day of horrible eating.
Back at it today. Maybe i'll go for another 0.0 -
Kim you ARE a saint for doing that job!
Pulled pork sounds delish Robin.
Good job on the bathroom Wolf!

sigh,,,, that's the life!0 -
Fri - 3 drinks
Sat - 5 beers
Sun - 2 beers0 -
Friday had 2 big glasses of rose' and 2 pineapple honey vodka and sodas, so pretty good for a Friday. Saturday started drinking at 1, stopped around 1am and hung out with old friends around their pool all day and stayed there that night. Had some cucumber vodka and also some wine that was good and some wine I think I remember helping them pick out when they bought their house around 2005 or 06. It was a 2002 bottle of Groth sauvignon blanc, whic is a great brand, but it tasted a little "old". I drank it anyways. Felt crappy yesterday morning, but rallied and managed some productivity and a little fun too but no drinks. Shooting for 12 drinks again this week. If you don't count Saturday (I counted it as a free day) I was only over by 1. If you do count my Saturday, I was probably over by 11.
Planning on a couple 0's this week hopeflly. I have a Glow 5k Saturday and there is a little festival during the day in the trendy neighborhood nearby, so probably several drinks there. I can run a 5k half drunk right?0 -
DRINK DRANK DRUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woo lushy weekend. Friday ended up having 5 cocktails and 1 glass of wine while cleaning and cooking from 2:30 to 8:30,
Saturday, I can not even begin to guess how many drinks I had..it was A LOT and we were up until 5am, WTF...who do we think we are....30-somethings pretending like they are 20-somethings. We all felt like poo yesterday.
I had 2 1/2 beers yesterday to try and make me feel normal again.
Sluggish today!!!!0 -
Sounds like a lushy weekend for some- I was there as well. I did manage two zeros last week, going to try for three zeros this week- the operative word being "try".
I can't remember the last time I partied till 5am. Definitely a young person's game.
Have a great week all!0 -
Fun weekend for everyone! I did the 5am thing a few weeks back with my son and his buddies and felt like someone ran me over by a truck for two days. I'm definitely way too old for that nonsense.
Hope everyone has a good week. I have no plans to abstain form alcohol.. moderation is my friend.0 -
I was pretty good yesterday. I had a couple of wolfberry rum and sodas at the end of the day and that was it. I actually cleaned out my bathroom and thru away a bunch of cosmetics and crap and then I cleaned the bedroom. So it appears as though motivation is creeping its way back into my life. :bigsmile:
I don't remember the last time I partied all night. Ah to be young again. :noway:0 -
Hi lushes - Saturday proved to be very, very lushy as I knew it would be. I still don't have a hankering for alcohol.
So, I am planning my Octoberfest party...I've got the invite all done and the guest list all ready so if any of my lushy friends happen to be in the Twin Cities on September 14th, you are more than welcome.
Apps will be soft pretzels, with mustards and meats
Dinner will be brisket, Chicago hot dogs, beer brats & some catered broasted chicken with sides of sauerkrat & potato salad. I still need a couple more sides but can't think of anything German'ish yet that fits the bill yet.
Keg of German beer, Keg of Root Beer for the kids - some schnapps ???
Dessert will be Strawberry-rhubarb pie and black forest cake
Our neighbor's will play live music and a jumping house for the kids!!!
BIG, BIG PARTY!~!0 -
Everything sounds so yummy nisi! Should be an awesome party :glasses:
Well mom is gone and I'm alone again in the house :frown: I loved having the company but wasn't as good with booze and working out as I had planned, oops
Got lots of housework done today as well as a work out and now a nice fat zero on the booze front. Vacation is the last week of August so I've got some time to de-bloat and lose a few pounds. Shooting for 0's Monday-Thursdays again along with good work outs Monday-Friday
Good luck to my fellow lushes going for 0's and cheers to those going for moderation or not so much have some drinks for this lush :drinker: 0 -
Welcome home Amy
Have a great day all.
Thanks, Robyn, feels like home:)
Lushy weekend, Friday went to dinner and had three beers, Saturday went to a comedy show and had 5 beers and sober Sunday! then three beers tonight-Levity, yummy!
Oktoberfest party sounds fun! Great idea. I have an old recipe for soft pretzels if you don't have one you like! It has such helpful instructions like-the dough will become dry and difficult to work-this is as it should be!0 -
Amy send over that recipe to me :happy: I have made 3 batches of homemade pretzel and I am still trying to find the perfect recipe. I like to made pretzels when we brew beer!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nothing last night. I am not planning on anything tonight but I am not couting it out either!!!! I slept like poo last night so I slept through my workout so I need to do something tonight...either a jog or a walk to the market?!0 -
Oooh I checked in with this thread at the right time! Amy can I please have the pretzel recipe also? We always have and Oktoberfest also (although we call it "Sausage Fest") and the perfect pretzels are always hard to make.0
