I think stories like those are what makes me want to stop weekday drinking. I think my drinking is in control at the moment. But I know lots of people think that and then it gets out of control, and I don't want that to happen to me!
My biggest hobby is reading, but that's actually quite difficult to do on my commute home when I'm already a bit wound up, as it's hard to focus attention on something when your mind is going all over the place.
I'm starting to think that hobbies or activities which occupy your hands/ body are probably best, in that they give you something to do/focus on while your mind is active, without requiring you to concentrate THAT hard.
I'm really not a crafty person, but I do like drawing. And also like:
- Listening to music
- Playing music
- Writing
- Cooking, when I have enough energy...
Wondering if I can incorporate some of these into my commute/early evening in some way... Will give this some thought!
Wine is my hubbys biggest downfall. We both eat so healthy all day... and then he probably has 3-4 glasses of wine every nite. He listens to music every nite, and somehow, a glass of wine goes perfect with sitting and listening to music. He knows he should not have this much, but he is having a hard time with finding a substuite. I tend to eat ... that is my drink of choice!
Do you like to knit or do something that you can do even when you are tired? I sew on my machine, but I really want to learn to knit.. you know .. something to do when I am too tired to set at a machine.
I would love to know how to write .... something like this would keep your mind and your hands busy!
I have never particularly liked knitting
I attempted to make a scarf for my teddy when I was a child but whilst I quite enjoyed doing lots of rows, I was too lazy to learn how to finish it... Poor Teddy had to continue with a cold neck!
I haven't actually written for a very long time. I used to want to write a book and kept on coming up with ideas and starting them, but somehow never managed to finish them... Sometimes I wonder if I actually like writing or if I just like the idea of having written something! Might be worth experimenting with this though.
I think music is probably a good shout for me. It used to be such a big part of my life (I was in orchestras for several years) and now I hardly do it at all. I think I am going to:
- Actually get round to putting my favourite music on my phone to listen to on my commute
- Potentially buy an electronic piano. I have been thinking about doing this for a while, but put it off because I thought it was a faff given we might move and they are not easy to move. But maybe I should just do it - I think it would bring me a lot of joy
I literally LOL at your poor teddy's cold neck. I am like you I never learned how to finish something I started in knitting. As a matter of fact I thought last winter I would try again and have this little scarf all ready to be finished off and yet it sits, collecting dust.
I learned a valuable lesson one time about putting things off. A friend had bought me a candle that had a little charm or trinket in it that would reveal itself as the candle burned down. The candle itself was very pretty, so I never wanted to burn it. I kept saving it for the "perfect time", well we had a house fire and my candle got destroyed without me ever seeing what the treasure was.
The moral of the story is: Don't put off what makes you happy. Life goes by so fast and you need to do what you can to have the simple pleasures whenever possible. As you get older the days and evenings of playing your piano will mean more to you than the one day frustration of having to move it down the road.

Happy Birthday Samson! ❤️
Such a beautiful post in every way Bex. Love and hugs to you x
Such a thoughtful and open post. I'm so glad you found a way to heal.
Good Morning! Sorry you haven't heard from me... On my Tablet, I can't log in to my opening page, nor can I log my food/exercise, when the page opens to the bowl of fruit, and I click the bar that says Log In with Facebook and the menu list shows... I click Community and that's how I get to chat with everyone...
Love you💝🌹0 -
@Faebert Good luck today for you and your sister! It must be so scary but I'm hoping and praying for good news!
@PackerFanInGB I did see your comment regarding the quilt. LOL how has it got so big!! I can't wait for it haha!
@maryrobinson40 How is your brother, I know you said he went to a hospice. And more importantly, how are you x
@mytime6630 Well done on the No snack last night! How are you
And for those who are struggling with smoke/fires, how is all that now? Is it still causing lots of problems?
We had a pretty clear day here Sunday and most of the day yesterday. The wind has picked up again this morning coming from the West and we are seeing smoke again, which is supposed to get worse today and tomorrow. I heard on the radio this morning that we have had 168 hours of smoke in the air which beats a record set in 1961. I looked at the BC forecast and still only one day of rain forecast and not until Sunday.
I'll be B***hing I can't walk and the two days that I could have I didn't get a walk in. Sunday I worked hard all day in the shed and yesterday I was working in the shed to finish that up when a friend stopped into visit and didn't leave until almost 9pm. See putting things off is just not a good idea.1 -
Sending prayers and good thoughts to everyone who may be struggling today. Be kind to everyone you meet today, because we have no idea what they may be struggling with, and your singular kindness might help them more than you expect.
My goals for today:
Find some more new recipes -I have the double challenge of low calorie and low carb (for my husband).
45 minutes of exercise.
Gratitude.

Happy Birthday Samson! ❤️
I can't imagine the heartbreak that came with having to make that decision. I do believe in God and still question and blame Him when things like that happen. The grieving process is a long and windy road with so many emotions. I'm happy for you that you don't feel sad today, Happy Birthday to Samson.2 -

HEGoddard0928 wrote: »Wow! 45 posts since I checked in 18 hours ago! I spent most of yesterday looking up recipes and things that I want to try out. I actually made a skillet chicken dinner last night. I haven't done that in a few weeks. I think because I hate cutting up chicken. I've decided that tonight when I get home I am going to cut up a couple of chicken breasts and put it in the freezer so that I can just grab and go. I've also asked my Mom if I can take over her kitchen on Saturday morning. She will be working. And I think my Dad will be as well. That way I'll have their house to myself so I can pump up some music, do laundry and use their oven/multi-burner stove. I'm going to do a whole bunch of freezer meals and things. The DH has also requested that I start making smoothies for him. So I think that that is going to be what I do for today if we are as dead as we were yesterday. Look up recipes that is. Yesterday was pretty terrible at work. Not as bad as when she who will not be named was there but just so interminably boring! I spent probably a total of 2 or 3 hours on my phone! It was nuts!
Umm...what else...I was sick for a few hours yesterday. I'm going to wait until Saturday to take another test. Keep praying/hoping/crossing fingers guys(well women! Lol)
So I took my managers advice and set my alarm for 6 and as soon as I turned the alarm off I went right into the shower. I didnt sit down after my shower for like 20 minutes and when I did all the lights in the house were on and Matt was awake so I didnt get the chance to go back to bed. It is now 7:17. I've had two cups of coffee, prepped the meat for lunches, tidied up a bit, did the few dishes that were left in the sink, caught up on MFP and am now posting! I just need to get dressed, put on makeup, make lunches and head to work. It is going to be a GOOD DAY! I feel great!
Okay! So goals for today 8/21/18
1. Attempt to log all food
2. Up at 6WooHoo!
3. ShowerSee # 2
4. Prep lunches
5. Work 8:15-5:15
6. DROP OFF LIBRARY BOOKS!!!!
7. Make sensible choices at D's tonight!
8. Look up smoothie recipes
9. Cut up chicken/put in freezer
10. Bed by 12
Have a great day everyone!
That is how 90% of my days are! I understand perfectly what a miserable day it can make. I don't know what I'll do when I actually get busy at work. I'll miss checking in on MFP all day!
Great job on getting up and staying up this morning!

I am down to the bottom of one box to finish sorting and organizing in the shed. Hopefully I can get that done this evening. I need to get it finished so that I can start on the craft room as there are things in there that should be in the shed! I really need one more room in my house.
My friend keeps bringing me clothes as she loses weight. We weigh almost the same now and she keeps insisting on bringing them even when I say no. I feel bad because I am putting them in a donation bag that I keep on the go for my own clothes. Once my bag is full I take it away!
I had a two hour meeting yesterday with the other business team. It looks like we are going for an official start of October 1st! So maybe by the middle of September I will be giving my notice here. My only concern right now is a vehicle. I can't afford to go buy a car right now and I'll be losing a company car. I need to figure this out.
My scale was playing with me this morning. I first stepped on and it said 177 - I thought that can't be right so tried again, 184 - then tried again and it was 183.2.... Maybe I need to change the batteries. Boy that 177 had me soaring for a second though!
Have a great day everyone.

Hi all
So unfortunately it’s not good news for my sister. She has a carcinoma in the duct. Luckily it is not invasive but it’s high grade which means they believe it could become so. She has opted to go for a double mastectomy with reconstruction and it is all likely to happen quite fast - within the next month or so. Not that it is a a priority at the moment but they’ve also said they will send her for genetic testing as it’s highly likely given our family history that it is a genetically linked cancer - so implications for me.
I feel pretty numb right now. I wasn’t expecting it to be nothing but was hopeful that it would be at worst pre-cancerous cell changes so less urgent. She has two young children, one of whom is profoundly disabled, so we will all need to pull together to help her through surgery and recovery.
Going to try and rest a bit tonight but I need some distraction so if you find me on here wittering a lot this evening you know why!

Okay, one more try! I've done this twice and the first time it disappeared, the second time it disappeared when I had to wait too long to press post.
FYI.... We are safe here from the fires. It's just the smoke that's getting us now. The fire closest to us is now considered "contained". Gotta love the euphemism. Asthma is really kicking my butt. I'm spending all my time indoors, in air conditioning if possible. We can't open our windows at night. This morning I opened one window, faced a fan at it, and turned it on high. I got the temperature down to 75°. Yay! Then closed the window and went to work.
So basically we're fine, just annoyed with all of this.

Bex-thank you for sharing your story and Samson’s story. *hugs* today.0 -
@Faebert so sorry to hear. I’ve had a few family members including my mom go through cancer treatment. It didn’t matter what level or how treatable-it was scary and upsetting every time. I’ll be thinking of you and your family. Sounds like her doctors have an action plan in place to treat this. Take care of yourself today.2

@maryrobinson40;c-42500317"] Having seen and been with 2 of my brothers when they were with hospice it was so hard. Please take good care of yourself. You are right ... your brother would want you to be healthy and happy. Just know that we are all thinking of you, and praying.
@Bex953172- that is the sweetest story about little Samson .... and he know how very much he was loved by you. I so understand all about the God thing. When I lost a sister and a brother within 6 months of each other, and then another brother 3 years later, and then another brother from suicide ... I was that way. Life can be so very hard. Little did I know then that life could get even more difficult, as I watch our daughter suffer, and can't understand how a God could let this happen. SO I think we all go through times when we become angry, but the important thing is that we eventually find peace with what has happened, and know that we need some kind of inner strength to make it through. I am glad you have that peace. You are such a loving, caring mother, and now you know little Samson is looking down at you. Hugs 2
