    Moderated last night so felt good this AM. We had 93% totality for the eclipse. We used a colander to project it onto a piece of paper. It worked great!

    fingers are crossed for you Syd. Starting to find a rhythm back to normalcy. Well, our new normal any way. I hope to start the exercise thing soon.

    Robin- glad to see you are getting back into your rhythm!

    Mon- too many
    Tues, Wed - 0

    Will have zeros to one or two the rest of the week. Blood work on Monday. After which I would like to continue racking up as many zeros as I can!

    Yay for normalcy, Robin!
    I need to get into the Dr for a physical/blood work too. It's so easy to neglect our own health when caregiving for another. I did manage to schedule my annual boob smoosh.
    In the meantime, I'm drinking wine :drinker:

    I actually had 2 0's this week! AND....I slept like crap both nights. I've been busy at work and I wake up panicky thinking about all the stuff i need to get done and can't shut my brain off. I had 5 drinks over 6 hours yesterday and only woke up once. So the moral of the story is, I should drink. :) Which I will do tonight. Eric is doing one of his fantasy drafts, so I think I may walk the kids up to grab fast and easy food (that hopefully have drinks) and ice cream. The weather is amazing here: low 80s and almost no humidity. It was 63 when I left the house. Almost grabbed a jacket.

    I did pretty good this weekend. Had 4 Friday and pretty much drank all day at the fair and zombie walk after but went to bed at a reasonable time and felt fine yesterday. Got a lot done over the weekend and enjoyed lovely weather.

    I'll have my usual Monday 0 and that'll probably be it. We have 2 baseball games and a concert this week. And I'm taking off Friday.

    Did well last week with either a zero or a one per night. Bloodwork this AM but I would like to continue the moderation. Have a great week!

    I managed to get out to a party over the weekend. My niece is having a baby and my brother threw a party/shower. I drank plenty of wine :drinker:
    Today I'm meeting a friend for a late lunch near the beach. She's here for family medical issues so we are quite the duo when we get together trading care giving stories. It's nice to get out though!
    Hope everyone has a great week!

    So I should really not drink this week, well until at least Thursday, but ???? We leave Friday evening for PA/FL.

    Mon - 0
    That is the only one that will likely occur this week. I have slept so great the last 2 nights. Much improved from last week.

    So on to the next issue. Taking Bodi to the vet this afternoon because he has developed some kind of issue in his right front shoulder. Since the back legs don't work and one of the front ones is bothering him... well you get the picture. I have had a steady stream of vodka and cranberry over the weekend and Monday. I don't see a change in the near future. Gary somehow I missed your eclipse picture. very cool. Syd, I have to make my appointments too. I haven't done the boob squish either. It is just so inconvenient to get that crap taken care of.

    I am taking Friday off. I love 2 four day weeks in a row. Keep on lushing peeps!

    Poor Bodi. :'( Hope you can get him comfortable, Robin.
    Things are kind of quiet here right now. This is a good thing.
    Kate, you're going to have to start drinking soon so that you can pack for your trip. Packing=cocktails. :drinker:

    Robin- sorry to hear about Bodi. My thoughts are with you.
    Syd- it is nice to hear things have quieted down for you. At least for a bit.
    Ashley- a zero is a zero- even if its the only one this week!

    I am still moderating- one or two a night. Of course legalized pot helps... :D

    so we are now a $1000 bucks in and have no answers. I don't think we want to spend anymore. I had no problem spending the money when he was 5 and still had hope. He is now 8 and life has been tough these past three years and I don't know if I can justify putting thru a bunch of procedures and spending thousands of dollars. My heart is so heavy with the decisions that have to be made. For now he is on an NSAD and Codeine. we shall see what happens.

    Robin- very tough decisions. I know you will do what is best for Bodi. I will keep you both in my thoughts.

    So sorry Robin. We had a very sick old dog that in retrospect we let live a little too long. It was such a hard decision to make, but while a sad day, also one that also meant relief. <3 Hugs.

    One project I never got around to this summer with all the health issues MIL had, was replacing all the carpeting in our bedrooms. Things have quieted down so I guess I'm going to tackle that. Do I sound thrilled? :drinker:

    No 0 Tuesday. Quite the opposite: wine and fire pit with the neighbors.
    Yesterday I had 4 beers at a birthday party over about 4 hours and came home and drank La Croix. Not sure about tonight. It's chilly here which makes me want red wine. I love this time of year.

    No zeros here either. Lots of ash from the wildland fires. Filtered sunlight. Perfect drinking weather.....
