I'll be cheering you on this weekend Dusty.I want to get a clean weekend under my belt too.

I'm at work feeling a bit fucked. Hopefully no one has noticed I'm a zombie.
Really can't carry on with this lifestyle, it's bloody exhausting. I also had a nose bleed when I got up which is a new low.
Oh God I just want to hide under my desk. Confused

How is your new job lost?! Wink

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 16/06/2017 14:05

The new job is going ok I think. We had a meeting this morning. The best bit was the coffee and posh biscuits Grin
Can't wait til home time though!

Hang on in there lost. Friday night awaits.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 16/06/2017 18:36

Phew so relieved to be home! Feel a bit more human after a quick shower and a nice cold Carlsberg. I'll definitely be staying on my board tonight though. Possibly in a collapsed position.

Last night was a curve ball. Usually dh and I will have a conversation about it before getting some and both have to agree. It's sort of an unwritten rule.
I don't know if you could have something like that with your dh Dusty?
That said, sometimes it causes an argument and also of course if one of us wants to fall over board, we tend to pull the other one with us Blush I totally identify with your predicament Dusty.

I was cross with dh for about 5 minutes. That's how weak I am. I hate my addict brain.

Sending out strong vibes.. It's our Friday Danger Zone..keep strong lovely surfers. You don't want a day like I've just had.

I had that day on Monday - the comedown hit then. I nearly fell asleep at my desk and I had REALLY BAD hay fever.

Am having a quiet weekend this weekend. All oven dishes are hidden and I'm wearing flippers.

DustyDuck · 16/06/2017 22:59

I'm ok tonight, not even French as I've been out with family and drove back. MrD stayed in and had way too much gin and god knows what else.
But it's like being a child and knowing there are sweets, you just want them, you aren't thinking about your teeth...

serialtester · 17/06/2017 09:21

I am spending the day gardening like a pensioner.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 17/06/2017 09:33

I'll be disappointed if you don't have Radio Four on and are getting up occasionally to say "ooh my back" Wink
Great day for it Serial. It's beautiful sun here.

I'm nodding at your sweet analogy, Dusty. I can't be in the same room as Mr.Lost if he's had some and I haven't. It makes me irrationally grumpy and jealous!

Hope we're all ok today. Enjoy your Saturday Flowers

Hideous peri menopausal period pains here. Making me grumpy in this 30 degree heat.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 17/06/2017 18:29

Ah hope you feel better soon Ponz. Chilled Wine for you x

Bet your garden looks glorious serial

ponzusoup · 17/06/2017 21:38

Thanks lost. Have had steak and red wine feeling a bit better.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 17/06/2017 22:23

That sounds civilized Ponz Glad you're feeling a bit better. It is very hot. I'm dreading all this menopause stuff, it'll probably tip me over the edge. I'm just not thinking about it in a typical Lost head in the sand way.

I've been absurdly tired today. Feel like I'm running on empty. I could probably sleep for a week actually Grin
(Gawd is that a menopause symptom or just all the drugs? ..hard to tell Confused)
Dusty Hope your surfing weekend is working out?

OP posts:
DustyDuck · 17/06/2017 23:03

Yes I think I'm past the danger hour. Had make it a big deal though about not wanting any this weekend. We've been to see a good mate who's just out of hospital which is sobering. I've had gin and beer, watching a doc about Lemmy Grin

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 17/06/2017 23:09

Brilliant Dusty. Changing up the routine and keeping busy always helps me. Just so there doesn't feel like there's something missing.
Wanting to change and choosing not to do it is a real turning point I think. It makes it less of a habit.
And you'll feel great in the morning Smile

I'm so glad that its not last Sunday again. Although I do have gardening related leg soreness.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 18/06/2017 09:06

Have a rest today Serial step away from the secateurs!

Wishing everyone a happy Sunday. x

Terribly hungover here as went to a BBQ yesterday and drunk my own body weight in cider. Could be worse as I was tempted to 'phone a friend' on way back but luckily it was too late by time we left. Glad everyone is on board, have a great sunny Sunday. Now just to get out of bed.....

DustyDuck · 18/06/2017 13:29

It's Smug Sunday here, she it's too hot to actually do anything !

DustyDuck · 18/06/2017 13:30

*shame it's ...🙄

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 19/06/2017 08:35

Morning all Smile
Sounds like we all had a fairly healthy weekend. Hooch Hope you've recovered from your cider/bbq extravaganza.
Went to a bbq last night and had a few drinks but feel ok today. Just hot!

Star Keep cool today if you can Star

I'm having wine on a Monday to cope with the heat. That's my excuse!!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 19/06/2017 19:24

I'm having a cold lager and a whine Grin I think it's allowed during a heatwave.

During a heatwave anything goes - it's my new rule!
