  • Thank you to those that wished me a speedy recovery. I think I am on a mend?? I truly believe this has more to do with side effects of a new prescription. I will give it until Friday and see if most symptoms are still there. Anyway had a 1/2 glass of wine after dinner it was nice, pour a 4 oz pour and only drank 1/2 so…

  • Hello everyone we made it back! My mother had a wonderful 90th B/D with family. Including a photography session with all my siblings and our families. I did not stay AF.

  • Hello everyone. Yesterday, a sipped a small glass of wine waiting on dinner. Then stopped. AND I did not snack last night for me is a major accomplishment now. It is like things have shifted being more mindful of what I eat vs what I drink. Weird Congrats @globalhiker on your loss...that just sounds so cool it makes me…

  • Hello all my LA friends I have good intentions to post more often but time just seems to slip away! This past 7 days I had 2 beers and 1 glass of wine. I call that a win. Wish I could wine instead of whine but the knee and toes osteoarthritis is doing all kinds of dancing with pains. Going to the Y every day is helping…
  • Hello everyone, Took me a bit to catch up on all your posts. Sorry for the family/dog loss. We lost our girl over 10 years ago and just never could bring ourselves to search for another. Relative(s)/family members who indulge aI bit much is a tough call. I know I sure denied any thought that there may be a problem being a…
  • Just a quick hash and dash, Been up to my elbows baking bread again...dang it. I am having a blast making dough's that are 75-100% hydration. Then baked on a hot stone, or in my case a cast iron pizza pan. Pan De Cristal is the type of bread. So tonight I treated myself to a glass of wine and it was lovely. I did not go…
  • Hello everyone! How time flies. I was talking to DH this am about how me getting back to lifting weights this past 1.5 weeks has done wonders for my mental health as well as my devils whispering in my ears. Snarky things never seem to actually go away they just pick and choose a time when they know you are not paying…

But I want to say I have at least kicked one of the devils off my shoulder. these past few months Nov, Dec, Jan. and actually farther back than that. Yes I still have A but the frequency of nights and the amount has…

  • Hello everyone just checking in Yesterday 3 oz of wine while cooking dinner. That is a new one for me, usually it is with dinner. But then I was done. It feels good.

  • I would love to find an Amish outlet if you will. Unfortunately the majority of the Amish population is 2 hours + north of me. We bought quite a bit of furniture from them this summer/fall. But I never saw really anyplace to purchase bones. Or specific markets that were not catering to the tourist. I did not stay AF…
