Kat, I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and I will send healing energies your way. We will always be here for you. ALWAYS!
P.S. I am sitting here eating lunch at work with tears streaming down my face. I feel like you are a part of my family. I wish I had more to say. Take care, take your time, and comeback when you can. We will be waiting with open hearts and arms. ( and a drink or two if you need it)0 -
I rode the bike today and got all teary as well. I know that's kat's favorite way to exercise....
I hope you're able to read this at some point kat, and can feel how much we all care for you. (((hugs)))0 -

I had a large drink last night. I wasn't going to, but felt really kind of bummed about Kat, Len was pretty bummed when I told him too. Its just such a sad thing 0

I had a zero Monday, last night I had one Zaya. I don't really feel much like drinking. Only 2 weeks until vacation. The weather is beautiful today. I need to get off my butt and clean. I need to get off my butt and work in the yard.
I hope I can convince myself to get off my butt:laugh:
I hope my lushes are doing as well as they can.
We are a tough loving group that can help each other through anything.
I love you lushes!!!!!!0 -
Work has been ****ty lately....hoping to close a HUGE deal this week...its been a long time coming!!!
Rough day yesterday so Len and I went for a walk and stopped at the brew pub in the way home....and I proceeded to have 3 rather strong beers, wings and soft pretzels. I needed it. I needed the distraction from the norm. It was nice! I do feel kind of sleepy today, which is kind of weird...I mean I drank a crap ton of vodka sunday and felt decent monday but 3 beers and I'm loopy :huh: Oh well. Not sure about tonight. Think I'll try and log a zero.
The weather has been so nice this week. Today being the nicest of them, so we will hit the trail again tonight!
Hope Kat is doing as well as possible.
Kim-how's your daddy??0 -
Hey lushes. I hope you are all doing well. Kat I've been thinking about you. :flowerforyou: Hope you are doing as well as can be expected.
I've been doing okay this week. Had a beer at dinner Monday, then 2 glasses of wine, and a cocktail while watching the game. Cats lose.
Tuesday I had a 0 and was trying not to drink till Friday, but I was off yesterday, it was so nice, we were hanging out in the backyard, so I made a grapefruit vodka and Sprite zero and then muddled some blackberries and honey and shook it with some regular vodka and a little Sprite zero. It was yummy. But I stopped at 2! Hopefully tonight will be a 0. I'm in a challenge with my sister and I'm only supposed to drink 4 nights a week; max 4 drinks for a weeknight and 5 for a weekend for a max of 19 drinks a week. We'll see how it goes.....0 -
Thinking about you, Kat. You too, kim. :flowerforyou:
I'm in a slump. Just cant seem to get it together and it's showing up on the scale. Up 4 pounds :grumble:
I know what I need to do. Let's see if I can pull it together.0 -
I have not been able to stop thinking about you Kat...I hope you are doing as well as you could be
Monday- 5 oz of white at lunch, a 312 in the afternoon and 10 oz of white while watching shows (I had the day off)

Going for a zero tonight. Was hoping for 4 zeroes, but I'm not gonna kid myself I will probably drink Fri, Sat, and Sun.0 -
I have a huge lump in my throat and tears welling up as I read this. I have no words to soften and no physical hug for you. I am deeply, deeply sorry for this loss. Take care of yourself and know that you are loved by many.0

Last night two large vodka and sprites...6oz total!
Tonight we are going to a comedy show with my parents, brother and SIL for a fund raiser. I had intended on leaving work early to get to my parents early to have dinner and catch a ride, now I am just trying to get out of work in order to make it to the show!!!
Tomorrow we have our niece's 5th bday party. I am DD so I'll take it easy during the day but make no promises for when we get home!!
Have a great weekend

I love you all so much. Your kind words, love and support mean the world to me. I went in little girl's room today for the first time since she's been gone and it was crushing. I'll go in often though now because it makes me feel close to her I miss her so unbelievably much. Whether or not it's the main reason, losing her has brought our whole family so much closer and though Kyle and I have always been close, we haven't been this close in a long time. I hate that it took losing my little girl to bring us all closer and make us realize certain things but that was apparently part of the universes plan for her and I won't let her memory ever fade We set up a memorial fund for her which will be turned into an ongoing foundation in her name so people can donate and then Kyle and I will choose charities to give money to in her name. I would give anything to hold her again but at this point I just want her home. She was to be cremated today so hopefully she'll be home for the first time very soon. Thank you all so much for being here for me, it helps so much ='} 0

Kat - your strength through this unbelievably hard time is very inspirational to me. You show great courage and compassion. What an amazing couple you are! :flowerforyou:0

Gary said it perfectly. You are so amazing, Kat. I'm keeping you, kyle and your family in my thoughts. 0

what they just said.
I went to red lobster for lobster fest with a friend. I ate too much and I already feel all the sodium. I think I need a drink.0 -
um ...... Hello Lushes. Where are you?0

Kat, what a great way to honor your Lily. I am sure that she had a sweet, little soul and that you have chosen to honor it with the charity. I am glad to hear of all the love and support that you are surrounded with.
I am back from Chicago. I had a lovely visit with my family and am happy to be back. My Dad has started a new chemo drug that will hopefully buy him some more time. He is going thru so many emotions that alternate between anger, sadness and hope. He is very weak and has lost about 25 lbs. very quickly. He is on day 6 of the medications and the side effects don't seem to be there.
Of course, I have been lushy - but, I did work out with my sister on 2 of the days.
Now to dinner with hubs....0 -
Kim - Fingers crossed that the new chemo drug has positive effects on your dad.
Kat - I agree that a charity in Lily's honor is lovely idea.
Not much going on in my neck of the woods. Lushing it up on my second margarita tonight and it will be my last. I am trying to get rid of the four pounds I have somehow acquired by not being diligent. This healthy lifestyle *kitten* can bee a real pain in the *kitten*!0 -
Kat that is a beautiful way to honor your baby girl. I am amazed by your strength right now.
Kim- sending positive thoughts your way :flowerforyou:

Failed big time with my goal of only drinking 3 days and went over my 3 drinks max 3 of the days. Although they were very spread out throughout the day and I don't think I ever even had a buzz. I am blaming it on the warm weather. This week is not going to be as nice, so I am going to try to do better.0 -
I was lushy last week.

I'm feeling it today. We had our wine tasting party and I got pretty trashed. I didn't eat a whole lot, which is always bad news. I also decided to get pretty drunk on Friday. I ended up being off work because my kiddo puked at day care. So I got a bonus day and it was nice and warm so I made a drink at 5 and proceeded to drink till about 11 or so. My goal is 19 driniks or less: 4 max during the week and 5 max on weekends and shooting to only drink 4 nights a week.... Geez I sound like a lush. It's getting cold in KY again so that should help.
Kat, what a great way to honor your daughter. I agree, your strength is amazing. I'm still keeping you in thoughts and prayers.
Kim, I hope the new drug helps your Dad. Hugs to you.
All the other lushes, hope you had fun weekends.0 -
Kat, I think that is such a beautiful way to honor Lily. You have such strength!
This weekend...drank way too much from Thursday-Saturday night. Ugh. Nothing last night and will have nothing tonight...but tomorrow hubby & I are going to the Chevelle concert, so I'm sure we'll go out to dinner before hand and drink at the show. I'll keep it within reason though since I have to work on Wednesday. But it'll be fun nonetheless!0 -
You have my sympathy and prayers, Kat!0
-
Kim..been thinking of you and your dad. Keep us posted and I hope the chemo kicks that cancer's *kitten*.
Kat...your strength amazes me.
I'm plugging along. Had some bad days last week drinking wise and I'm still holding on to my vacation weight gain. Maybe this will be the week I can try to get some of it off since I only have 2 more weeks before I leave again. My dad's house is in escrow so hopefully that will go through and I've got a couple of loose ends to deal with re: my son as far as housing and other issues that if I could wrap up this week it would allow for me to focus on me. I really need to focus on me...have I mentioned that? lol
Have a good week, lushes.0
