    No drinks since last Sunday. Actually, I did have a little B-54 (Kahlua, Baileys, & Amaretto on the rocks) last night after work cause I was just feeling like I needed a little treat ;) I'm working tonight again and not sure if I'll feel like having anything at 1am. I'm so tired of this shift (2:30pm to 1:30am)! I make way more tips but I'm so frickin' exhausted all the time. I haven't even ran for like 3 days because I've been trying to catch up on sleep! Guess it's time to start looking for something else :(

    brunching at a fancy restaurant for DH's birthday. Decided to drive so that I won't over do it on the champagne.

    Friday I ended up drinking more than orginally planned....1/2 Double IPA, 3 margaritas, 1/2 flight of beer and 1 raspberry iced tea vodka with peach schnapps and fresh brewed ice tea.
    Saturday-I have no idea how many beers i had. We were at a Beer and Bourbon BBQ. I had atleast three teeny shots of bourbon and WAY too many beers.
    Sunday-0
    Monday-0

    Here's a twist...I was discharging a pt from my hospital that was a drinker with a long history. The NP discharging her was so mad that she wrote a script for AA meetings, no beer, wine or liquor and folic acid and thiamine. So, I am the one to review the d/c information with her. Seems like of hypocritical to me...

    Not very well...she refused to sign the paperwork :ohwell: Then, her parents were in the room and asked me what the folic and thiamine were for...I was like, ummm, the nervous system, they're supplements...geez, had to tap dance out of that one.

    Gone all weekend. Lost count on the drinks by 10pm Friday.
    I drank enough for a month, slept a total of maybe 3 hours, and ate so, so.
    Serious detox in order.
    My summer is about over, maybe I'll get back on track soon. :ohwell:

    LMAO... I've had weekends like that.

    This was not one of them...maybe six beers saturday (maybe, lol)
    None so far this week and as I'm now saving up money for cruise cash I'm going to really pinch my drinking pennies. :D

    I am so bummed that I am sure I will drink tonight. I have a business trip in Sept to PA. I had it all worked out that I could have long weekend layover on my flight home and stop and see Holly(my daughter) in MN. (I was going to try to catch up with Kim again too) But buthead daughter is listening to super butthead boyfriend and decided the a month isn't enough time in her new house to have a guest. It was okay for me to visit her last year in a completely bare studio (we furnished it while I was there) but now that HE is in the picture I can't visit. This is a rare opportunity to go to MN for no cost to me but she said no. I am pissed and disappointed. where's the wine?

    I agree with this ^ although I know it still stings. Daughters, of the young adult variety, are a weird bunch, they seem to only want mom when they are having issues or are bored and no one else is available :huh:

    I haven't been posting much, still indulging some but am in a summer funk :ohwell: .

    Lushy power to all :drinker:

    Robin, sorry your daughter is acting like that. Hopefully she'll listen to reason...and not butthead.

    Hubby and I were at the lake this weekend...lots of drinking. Lots.

    Sunday=1/2 a beer
    Monday=1/2 a beer (the other half from Sunday)

    Sorry to hear Robin, that sucks! I had a bottle of wine Monday night. It help put me to sleep quickly with the antibiotics and cold and flu tablets. Feeling slightly better so off to work today. First day out of bed in 3 days. I hopefully have nice customers as I have next to no patience when sick.

    Checking in lushes! Last week got my drink on Mon, Tues, Fri, Sat, Sun. Somehow missed Wed and Thurs. Will wonders never cease! Amount of Natural Lights are all about the same..... 8 or so cans. :blushing:

    Will commit to using the exercise log, even if I only do 1 thing for 5 minutes. And I'm going to count vacuuming too! :laugh:

    I hope you feel better Faith!

    Robin, maybe you could just visit her but not stay there??? It shouldn't be for her boyfriend to decide, but you know that. Kids, they get all "grown up" and become a bigger pain at times!

    Hi to Surly Dave, nice to meet you!

    All have a good rest of the week!! :drinker:

    booked my flights and by passes MSP (I'll catch you next time Kim)

    great weather and new job equates to way to much drinking. I gotta get a handle on this soon.

    Enjoy the lake Amy and feel better Faith
