Class reunion

[Carleeta]

reunion again

 

That's it......my class reunion is going to be in 6 weeks.  It's my 45th, I'm on the committee, and will be just arriving home in time to go.  

[TryinginFL]

 again, really?

 

 

I have a reunion this fall but will not be going - it's going to be a several day thing in Palm Springs, CA.  Can't imagine why, as we graduated from HS in Hinsdale, IL.  Expensive, as well

[Carleeta]

really prepared

 

That's not that odd to me Liz.  My cousin Sue who lived here in NYS, was having her reunion in Sarasota, FL.  It just happened to be in the spring and many of the individuals were either in Florida for the winter months or they didn't mind traveling there.  Infact this reunion included all graduates from the same high school and all years.  I went down with her and her husband one year, although there wasn't anyone from my graduating class....lol lol lol.  Needless to say my cousin was 15 years older than me... I did loose her last fall  to cancer and we were extremely close.  It's been very hard for me since we were extremely close.....like sister.... Anyway.....I absolutely love Sarasota and will be there soon.

 

Yes, going to your class reunion can be very costly.......close or far away.....lol lol lol.  Ours is a three day affair....

uneaten food

 

 

Morning all!

 

Sorry you are not feeling well, Gail!  Is it time for some ginger ale?  Have you been able to go into the woods lately?

 

Today is massage day, and Cubs playing White Sox this evening!    WOW!!!

[Carleeta]

Food drive

 

Gail, I'm sorry you are not feeling well today.  I agree with Liz and you'll need some ginger ale, a few saltine crackers. 

[TryinginFL]

drive slowly

 

 

Can't think of a thing to say...

[Carleeta]

slowly churned

 

It's the midst of summer and what is there to say!.  lol lol.  Its a beautiful day?  It's a rainy day?  It's a hot day?  lol lol lol.  Can't think of much to say except I'm just hanging around for my niece to get here because she has to go shopping for her trip

churned butter

I am so tired

[fishinghat]

butter fingers

 

Good morning all!  A pleasant day to everyone.

 

Raven, I sure can understand that. When I was going through withdrawal I was so amped up, nervous, excited and totally fatigued at the same time.

[FiveNotions]

fingers splayed (is that a word?)

 

-----

Ditto to FH ... bizarre combo of exhausted, over-exited, anxious, lethargic ... a total serotonin "stew" ... hang in there Raven, it does pass ...  

[gail]

Splayed fingers

Raven, exhausted here also.

Yes for ginger ale, no roots for me. A sip here and there. Nothing magical, is there such a thing in withdrawal?

When like this, no way am I going into the woods. Time and time. Thought I had it licked yesterday just to remember that progress is not linear...

[Carleeta]

fingers crossed

 

Well up and down, anxiety, down feeling, and I'll add .....it's a complex day and evening

[Raven72]

crossed signals

[FiveNotions]

signals mixed

 

---------

another hot one here in DC ... and my a/c seems to be dying ... gotta' go talk with bldg maintenance ... our hallways are steam baths, so it may be a problem with this whole side of the (massive) building ... blech ...

[gail]

Mixed emotions

I have no a/c, only a bath in which I go in and out many times to cool myself. Then, in front of the fan I go and have to cover up for a few minutes. A pain, but it helps!

[Raven72]

emotions scattered

 

*************************************

 

Really tough here lately. Have an appointment to see someone next week.  Really tired about half way through the day.  Although it would appear I have lost about 10lbs since getting off the sinful drug, I still don't have the energy to anything worthwhile enough to help me lose more weight. Not for lack of wanting.

[TryinginFL]

scattered thunderstorms

 

 

Gail, how miserable you must be w/no A/C

 

Raven, the no motivation is part of this journey - actually, I still don't have any! I lost the 30 lbs. I gained - it just comes off in time

[fishinghat]

thunderstorms abound.

 

Gail. if you have access to some ice put it in a container, set it in front of your fan and have a seat. It really helps. You can also place a cold washcloth around your neck.

[FiveNotions]

abound around (sorry, I got nuthin' better)

 

----------

just hauled out the old-fashioned rotating fan ... and I'm about to try FH's trick with the ice ! 

[Carleeta]

around town

 

It's very hot here in SanDestin.....wow, although it isn't that much hotter than back home.  Looking at the gorgeous Emerald Coast and it makes the heat feel much much better.  I do have the air conditioner on,,,,,,yipeeeee I'm here

Hey all!

 

Hope you are having a great time with family and friends, Carleeta - and yes, it's hot!  Heat index here will be 100-105

 

FN and Gail, how does the ice in front of the fan work??

[gail]

Fired away

Got no ice, well not enough. Humidity is sky high. We can hardly breathe here.
Started to walk again yesterday, so glad. Feeling better and get tired easily.

Fisherman is right when he says that you should never never up your dosage of Benzos while tapering. A high price to pay. I should have gotten drunk instead...but he did not say that!
