New Tears Day Roll Call

Good Morning on this 1st day of 2015.

I was good last night. I never even had a sip of anything stronger then iced tea. In my younger days, I would be drinking something that was 100 proof, but that, as well as soda left my goodie list a long time ago. I don't think it was a planned thing, It was, overtime, I stopped drinking soda and that became the new norm.  My sister is the same way.

BTW, I had grilled shrimp with a sweet potatoe, and Hubert had a fillet last night. It was good,

When I got home from work yesterday, Hubert had the tree and village down, and everything put away.

No plans for today, I may go shopping a bit, so I don't have to go Saturday. And, working on our business books to get it done and start the new year with a clean slate.

Have a great day,

Hugs

Happy New Year's.......we never said day when I was a kid......just, "Happy New Years"

We had a quiet evening alone. G is on call til Monday so we just napped all evening until about 11 and then we went to bed. He got called a couple times and finally moved downstairs so I could sleep uninterrupted. Lazy morn watching the parade and reading my bible. 

Today we go to my brothers house. He and his wife are hosting us and our grandbabies. It will be a quiet nice low key day. 

Gods blessing on you and your loved ones in 2015!

hugs,

Sharon

Happy New Year Lisa and the rest of Illinois!

Yes, I am loving having Liv home, and she will be gone all too soon.  She goes back on the 10th.

I am SO happy for Crystal!!!!!!  You deserve all the good things in life!

These last couple of days have been a little rough for me.  I went to the doctor on the 30th and she mis-read my thyroid lab.  She kept telling me how it was abnormally high and that I should re-take it in 6-8 weeks.  She thought it was odd that I have been gaining weight with a high thyroid.  Also, my liver function tests are a lot higher than they ever were (even when drinking) so she wants me to see a GI doctor for more investigation.  THEN.....my prescription got sent to Wal-Mart instead of Walgreens.

So----I get home and see that not only is my thyroid abnormally LOW, it has always been right on the low line.  THIS would make for the weight gain and the seemingly impossibility to lose weight.  I will follow up on this.

The liver function had me upset.  My diseased brain immediately thought, "Why stop drinking if my liver is shot?"  Which is the stupidest thought EVER.  My liver was/is nowhere NEAR my list of reasons for quitting.  But very funny how the mind works.  I already have the appointment for this follow up.

Then, of course, Todd has been on vacation, and doing nothing helpful around here.  He HAS had time to go out with his friends a couple times for day and night long visits to bars and breweries.  Usually, this would not bother me, but as I said....rough couple of days.

For New Year's, the party was at our backyard neighbor's.  I went for a short time, but drinking was such a focus that I left and went to the Alano Club to be with others who were not drinking.  When I came back for my midnight kiss, everyone was is "fine" shape.  This made me realize how I used to look.  I came home and Liv and I were in bed by 1.

Today, I went to a couple of meetings and spoke with my sponsor last night and am much closer to being spiritually fit.  Tomorrow is a new day!

I am not sure what is on the schedule for tomorrow.  Maybe I'll get the tree taken down and put away.

Everyone have a spectacular New Year!
