Nine months - YEAH!

Good afternoon Connie and the rest of Illinois!

I am having a lazy day today.  I have been very busy lately, hardly at home much. 

Yesterday, I left my house at 9:30 am and did not return for good until 9:30 pm.  Last night, I went to the memorial for my friend that died last week from addiction.  It was very strange, to say the least.  It was held at the Roscoe VFW, which is basically a bar.  The room was not big enough for all the mourners, causing us to have to be pressed up against the bar in order to be in the line.  Many of the crowd were drinking.  During the service, the pastor made special thanks to her treatment centers and all of her recovery friends.  Odd.  I drove a couple of recovery friends and we left as soon as it was polite.

Tonight, a potluck and tomorrow dinner at Shogun with our friend who has ALS.  Todd is spending a lot of time with Bruce, which is a great thing.

Today is actually my 9 month sobriety anniversary.  Life is good.

Gotta get going.  I hope everyone is doing well.

Hi everyone!

Another busy week for us and now it's Sat. We are making up kits for the holidays--that's more work than it looks. We ran in to our coffee roaster last night at Social and he suggested adding coffee packs to the kits! Amazing, so that's next. We loved the idea!

Looking forward to relaxing tomorrow!

Stay warm!

Connie

Hello everyone

Happy Friday!!! 

I had a bad night.  I woke up twice last night.  The first time I had a cramp in my left foot.  It's like at the top of my foot going into my ankle and it is so painful.  I have to get up and walk it off.  I tried a few times to massage it but that only made it worse.  After about 20 minutes of pacing it finally subsided enough that I was able to go back to bed.  Then a couple hours later I woke up to a cramp in my right calf.  And I got up and walk this off.  This wasn't as bad as the foot cramp.  Geeze...I am back to getting these late night cramps and they hurt.  It's like some one is twisting my muscle.  It's not even spasming.  Just my muscle getting really really tight to the point of extreme pain.

Anyway I have no idea what my plans are for today or tomorrow.  I have not really thought about it.  I will play it by ear.  Looks like at least Lisa has plans.

Well I better get going back to work.  Have good day

Good Morning,

I will be finishing up a few small gifts this morning, towel angels. Then another trip to Walmart to check on 2 things I might be giving this holiday season. I forgot to do it yesterday while I was there. Then tonight, will be at a craft show. Hopefully it will go better then the last one.

Hubert ordered a steam cleaner from Walmart a few days ago, and it came yesterday. I think I will be trying it out this morning on the walls of the shower. It looks like it will work on a lot of things.

Have a good day.

Hugs,
