Hello to all!

How are you doing? Its dark and gloomy here in upstate NY,rain is predicted for a few days,but...the snow is all gone(though i think were supposed to get a little more of that also) LOVELY!!!!!!!

I went to work for just a short time this morning and now im picking up mu grandmother to bring her to an appointment,pay her bills,go to lunch,and take in a couple consignment shops.When all i really want to do is get in bed,pull up the covers,crank the heat and sleep....all day long!!!!!!!!!!! But...no can do,she took the day of purposely so i could take her so,im going no matter what,LOVELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im not feeling to good,i woke up coughing my head off and spitting up...god knows what....gorss....beyond gross,LOVELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BUT>>>>>and its a big but....im still free of mu DOC,im down to 2 mg of sub,soon to be 1 mg,and im surviving,so that indeed truly is ,LOVELY!!!!!

Hope youre all doing well.These days sure seem long and gloomly sometimes,but we need to make the best of them,or so ive been told,lol,once i get going im sure i;'ll feel better,i'll get a nap in this afternoon and maybe this head cold will be better.

Yesterday at my womans group we really had some odd discussions(its an hour and a half long)we talk about everything from menopause,men,drugs,our children(babies and adults) i had gone in feeling the same as i do today,not wanting to do anything but sleep,but it ended up being really cool and i enjoyed it.Hopefully the same will happen today...it is what we make it(another one of those cliches')

Really,i hope your all doing well,doing what you can to make the most of what youve got.Dealing with the struggles of just everyday life,not to mention the added burden of addiction.We are one strong bunch of individuals IMO! Enjoy what youve got~user posted imageKIM

PS~once again,sorry for the book and all the gloom,this too shall passs,im sure!

Goos Morning Kim,

It is hot and sunny here in AZ. I am getting ready to take my son to headstart and then I am off to my grandmas to get her ready for a doctors appt. I actually woke up early this morning. I got a mattress topper with memory foam and it has really helped me. I wake up early and my back feels so great. My hubbys enjoying it too. We haven't been sleeping well and the mattress topper has been so great. It gives me lots of energy too.

Well I have been tapering off my sub too. I have only dropped from 8 to 6, but I think I am going to drop again soon. Hope you have a goos day.

Yes Kimber it is gloomy here in our area,but thats OK that will only help the beautiful flowers grow.

Goos!
happy Wed to y'all!
yes, its gloomy here in illinois too, we had warm spring days last week and then it nosedived to 30 degrees! no sun today and i wanted to get all my flower beds cleaned out because our city will collect free yard waste next mon, then we have to pay $2.35 for yard waste to be put at the curb per yard bag.
then in the fall they offer free yard waste disposal when everyones raking. we cant put yard waste into our garbage cans, it has to be put in a paper yard waste bags that are designed specifically for just that yard waste.
if we recyle which i recycle everything, then thats free to put at the curb, all garbage that is not recycled has to be put in a garbage can with a $ 2.35 sticker.
so, i have tons of yard waste to get out to the curb my monday while its free to throw out and i dont think i am gonna be able to do it now cuz its cold!!!
anyway i LOVE to take the tour of the grounds as i always put it.i have pretty daffodils that are open, hyacinth and tulips and crocus are up.
hosta lilies, clematis,peonies, iris's, day lilies are all peaking out of the ground, it is so amazing how God created everything, how new life comes back every year at springtime, how they survive the freezing winter and come back to life again.
i love consignment shops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i find the best things there!!!! love it love it, wish i could go with you kim. you seem like a really sweet warm person.thank you for the nice comment you posted about my picture, i love my sons soooo much!
how are my sweet pea and thumper doing??? i miss you guys, i get so busy and i found thatt i am replacing one addiction for another and that would be the computer, i have been in total denial about it,my sons noticed and i was like no i am not addicted to the computer!!!! i am going to my forum and that is healthy for my recovery!!!! they are like whatever mom...lol
so then when i realized that i was googling too many things and i had spent like the whole day on the computer i admit it, hello my name is julie and i am a computer addict!
so i need to prioritize and not spend too much time on the puter.
thumper i love your pictures in your signature line!!! winnie in an Easter basket! what is that one puppy saying with the little pink bunny ears?
what site do you go to for those pictures in your signature line? and i love the pillar candle with the sparkly roses around it, what site is that one?
thank you so much stephy for posting my pictures, you are really good at the computer.
ok thumper we want to see pictures of you and winnie!!!!!!
what are your Easter plans?
i am lector at the 7pm good friday service, i am reading parts of the passion along with another lector. then on Easter i will play handbells with our handbell choir at sunrise and then again at the 9 am service, we are playing"Jesus shall reign"
cant decide if i want to cook a nice Easter dinner or go out to a restaurant.
i havent made a good home cooked meal in awhile, the boys have college and their jobs and my husband is never home (he is at the bar) so its hard to get everyone together for a meal. i was thinking spiral ham. and all the fixings,hmm, i just dont know yet. i will dye eggs and have a basket of candy for my sons,yes even at 19 and 22 yrs of age i still make them a basket. i have done that every Easter now for 22 yrs!
i bought lily yesterday, i love her she makes the house smell sooooo good! that would be an Easter lily lol!
i plant her every year outside when all the blooms are finished and they come back beautiful!!!! usually august here, but i think they only come back once or twice and then they are done.
well i have rambled on long enough, gotta go soak off my fingernails, i am getting a fresh set of nails today, yeah! i love to get my nails done! xxoo jewels

Morning everyone!

Kim...do you think that your funky mood has to do with the sub drop? Just wondering. I know that for me I feel better...I have a little more bounce in my step.

My problem is that I am having trouble focusing! I need to get some phone calls done and business related stuff and I find myself procrastinating! Now I have been know to procrastinate...but this is ridiculous!

I am down to 4mgs and holding for 2 days now...I feel if I can get through the first or 3 days..then its all good. I am down to 4mgs....from 12mgs...I was on 12 mgs a month ago!

That's a significant drop....I am hoping to continue to feel better. I think my dose in the beginning might have been to high...I am not sure...in any event...steady as she goes!

Hope everyone has a terrific day! Need someone to light a fire under my behind!!!!
