i encourage you all to join me for some casual drinking, social lubrication and light laughter right here in the beer garden.
Oh and before anyone gets up in arms about alcohol and its dangers the main beer on tap is VB or virtual beer
beer is the third most commonly consumed drink in the world behind water and tea
why not share the worlds joy with friends

It's an mi mindset @Kurra .... locked in and can't budge it .... same with the diet and exercise regimen all day every day .... same foods every day at the same time every day ....measured .... weighed .... same exercise pattern spaced between food stops ... 7/7 .... relentless ....
Trying to reason with him or nudge him to the dr just resulted in emotionally abusive backlash .....
We're managing him .... "shepherding" if you like .... cos we can't reach him.
Just had to work out how to calm it down enough to live with it .... hard on all of us which is why I've got blow-outs happening with the kids too .... emotionally exhausting.
That's our roller-coaster. Everyone here has got one ....

Hi @Faith-and-Hope,
Yep, last night was fine. Friends stayed until around 9pm till I made them leave out as the 2 hours of sleep I had the night before had caught up with me. Still didn't sleep great - but mainly due to having had a drink (alcohol upsets my sleep) and not nightmares. 😊
How's your Monday holding up?
Also Moderators, can we have the ability to add a short bio to our page so we all 'know' who we all are. I can never remember who has kids, family, works, doesn't work etc.

Having a pyjama day today @Former-Member ....
Have got some baby dragon issues going on with the kids and I'm feeling headachey and low on energy .... so a rest day should fix that hopefully ....
Dont know what to do about D3 yet .... haven't heard back from the school staff .... but it is school holidays .... and D3 surfaced long enough to yell at me that she's got a migraine headache and to leave her alone .... stalemate ....
Glad you had a good time with your friends .... 😊 The positives are so important ❣
