I was abstaining pretty good there drinking these partake non alcoholic low calories I was drinking those pretty regularly I was not missing the alcohol and then I missed fat pats folks I was going there every evening. for a couple of beers. they are 2 for one small beers.I have gained so much weight. I really need to get back to my partakes. I have a stack of them in the pantry.
When I came back everyone of the bartenders said that they missed me. that made me feel good and happy. These are not my friends.They are friendly and nice to me because that is their job.
I must remember this.
I was in a car accident december 15 totaled my car.It was only 2013 honda fit. I loved that car. I decided to get a car with a hatch back, I like hondas, have had them for years.

So we drove up to Indiana in this toyota corolla, it was nice a very simple car to have. It came with a regular key not push button.

It got around good no problems with it at all.
When we returned we were looking at 2 different dealers out of town.One was in baton rouge and the other was just a bit further away, gonzalus.
We spent a long time with karin at the richards honda. We liked her a lot she was down to earth and very personal.She had some thing wrong with her. she was kind of shaky, and her voice quivered. anyway.
We told her we were going to look at another car in gonzalus. so we went and the salesman was sleazy. They engraved the car with the Vin number on the window and would charge us $500 for that we said we did not want that feature so we were not going to pay for it. so we said good bye.
and went back to karin and told her that we liked her better and bought the car from her.
I have only had the car a week and like it a lot. It is a honda civic sport hatchback. perfect for my work, my bag would not fit into trunks. so it had to be a hatch back. It is not a huge suv that I did not want, it is a regular car.
My trip to Indiana was longer than we had planned on. My niece had planned a surprised birthday party for my twin sister. we had told gretchen that we were leaving december 30.We surprised her twice one in the front of the bar with us to greet them then back to the party room with about 20 of her best friends. She was quite surprised. My niece Morgan ordered the best tasting cake it was very simple the numbers 60., 2 layered cake with yummy frosting I had never had that great of cake before it was delicious.
I had had some depression before going because I hate leaving because I will have a ton of phone calls to answer and new clients to fit into my already booked calendar. We drive there takes us a good 2 days there and then back. We were gone almost 2 weeks which is too long.
We spent some time at my folks house, she is recuperating from shoulder surgery. Send some prayers or good intentions for her healing....She was well enough to go on a cruise 15 day thru the panama canal. I think they had a good time and hopes her pain gets better in time.


I had better get off here, thinking about going to bed early.
I have been going to bed earlier and earlier.but still wake up very groggy like I have not been sleeping well. I wonder if I have sleep apnea I snore a lot. hubby has ear buds that are used for sleep they are Boze. there are different sounds to listen to. he likes "warm mist". They have probably saved our marriage.
Good night y'all.

I'm so glad you had such a good visit with your family.

Remember as time goes on what you said about the folks at the bar
that they are not your friends. THat is what you have to remember.
Its when you can drink coke, or tea and they welcome you and tell
you they miss you that they are your friends.

I enjoy listening to your story in this posting.

I've been off most of the weekend. So just catching up.

I hope you guys had a good weekend. And have a good valentines day.

I'm not sure if I'll see Dale or not tomorrow. He always says we don't need
to celebrate valentine's day. Because we are married. But he usually
does give me something at some point just not usually on the day.

I need to get something for Derrick because he has been lots of help.

Mardi gras was fun but today is ash wednesday.
A Catholic holy day.
It starts lent 6 weeks of thoughtfulness and a time

to reflect on your goals and life in general.
I am not Catholic but will participate in an
alcohol free time until easter. I have 3 other friends who are going to abstain except for Denises birthday.

I will continue to abstain
even though her cake party is on next wednesday in a bar called
the tap room. They carry beers that I like and it will be hard. But I think I can drink soda water.
I am hoping to lose a few pounds that will inspire me to continue this path.
Wish me luck and does anyone else want to join me?

I had 2 partakes and am chewing gum. I hope I can sleep!
My weight has gone up to 190 again.
sigh
It has taken a lot of energy to get to lent.
I am relieved.
I was getting out of hand.
6-8 drinks every day.
enough is enough!

I don't know if its really joining you if I don't drink anyway. But I am not drinking either. I am not drinking diet coke either. I can't thanks to being sick, it
just doesn't taste good. But I found a sugar free tea that has a sweet taste
to it. Or should say Derrick did for me. And it was good. So We are both
drinking it. I am still trying to get to 190 lbs. I'm still at 195 to 197.

Thank you Donna for your support!
I only had 1 IPA AF beer tonight
I noticed that I had some twisted teas left in the fridge.
I ignored it I think there are 4 more in the case.
Good for you for switching it up to tea,The carbonation in the colas is bad for our bladders. I am glad that Derrick is drinking them also.
I am tired need to get ready for bed.
hope you have a good rest of the week, and into the weekend.
