My Journey

Hi diary,

Day 92

wow....only 8 more days till the magic 100!

Life pretty sweet at the moment....feeling really positive........Why would I ever want to gamble again when I know the destruction it can cause.

I feel really bad for all the folks who are struggling with it........Believe me, it really does get better....each day of abstaining pushes that demon further into the ground.

Work is pretty good at present.....clients happy!

Took an extra service user to karate today...he loved it....another lady there thought he was wonderful (budding romance for him) Jeez he's doing better than me!

Reading real amusing book at present "why men don't listen and women can't read maps" so funny,so true! All about how men and womens brains are wired differently.

Happy Thursday everyone.

lol.think ive flicked through that book once or twice in waterstones..lol...what about that mars and venus one too?...

Guess it explains a lot about the sexes and yes i totally agree that our brians are wired differently.....any revalations from your book would be greatly appreciated ...

Well done on the nearly hundred days gosh that has gone quick , can see this time the difference in ur approach used ur diary for u and took a step of the gas when u feel u needed it , well done even more on the last few weeks as know u were like me with feeling unwell , physically its tough and tie that in with how mentally draining it is and it could av been a recipe for disaster

But were both still fighting something we both happen to be good at , brought a smile to my face and have me some motivation to see u back on top form so thanks for that

Day 93 Womble... great stuff!

Glad to hear that all is generally good with you and work goes well. My job is actually improving now that the horrid boss has properly gone and the clients are relatively chilled out as well.. onwards to increasingly better times for the both of us eh.

Keep up the good work and thanks for your support... S.A 🙂

Wow. Just a few more days and you will be wombling centurian, I was going to say I hope the armour doesn't chafe then realised they didn't wear it, just funny little leather skirts and helmets.

Thanks as well for your words in your own and my diary.

Hi Diary,

Day 94

Have had a kinda good day today.

Day off..overtime next week.....met bestie...wow us girlies can sure talk! Amazing,havn't seen her for10 days...didnt stop talking for 2 hours!!!!!!

My mum I think is getting dementia.......lots of clues in the last few months....kinda tried to ignore but it's becoming quite apparent now.It's awful cos she was such an independent person. Have tried to convince myself that it's just old age but cant make excuses anymore.Anyway I will always be there for her.

Hi Ya Sue,

Sorry to hear that your mom might be going through those early stages of dementia. My mom is going through something similar. She too was very independent. Gadding about on the bus etc. That is why she needed to move in with us. She doesnt get around on the bus much but, she is doing well. She reads her paper and works crossword puzzles. We bought her a 1000 pc jigsaw puzzle to peice together and I can hear her upstairs cursing about it from time to time. She's really sweet! She also loves our animals and talks to them regularly. She remembers alot about her past so we sit and visit and she tells me stories about what it was like for her when she was a girl. It is hard some days because she gets confused and frustrated with us and herself. I like you am in it for the long haul. Hang in there honey. You are a good wombly womble of an egg!!! - joanxx

Hi Womble

Sorry to hear your suspicions about your mum. Maybe its worth getting a medical review for her. As you know, older folk sometimes get a wee bit "knocked off" for a whole host of physical reasons. Whatever the issue, she's got a great lady looking after her.

Hey, you got a treat planned for your "centerary" celebration? I've booked a facial (I need it!)

Thanks for the continued support Sue, it seems like yesterday that we "met".

Take care and have a great week

Hey Sue,

Sometimes I read your posts and think I might be a woman too lol! I chatted absolute nonsense to my mate last night and it had only been a week since I last saw him. Double checked the vitals though and it appears I may just have some female tendencies 😉

Also really sorry to hear about your mom. I sincerely hope you are wrong. Both my mom's parents had dementia and it's not nice at all. Like you said though you are there for her and she is very lucky in that respect.

Think Irene has a point there should defo be a treat planned for day 100. That is a noughty day with attitude lol!

Keep Smiling my friend,

Flagg

sue.

big noughty looming this week then.

a time in which i have seen you blossom so much.

for that you have found a huge inner strength.

a strength to deal with whatever life throws your way.

for that i doff my cap.

well done you.

duncs stepping forward never back.

well congrats on your days and way to go.

guess they got some sort of meds out there for the memory now and may be worth checking into for your mom. may check into them for myself cause yeah i keep forgetting not to deposit my cash into machines i cant take home. lol

Hi Sue,

I saw your diary on page 3 and thought -- nah... so, decided to give you a bump to page one. Hope all is well in Womble's world. -joanxx

Hi there

called in to say congrats on hitting a century then saw your note on edit thread.

Such a shame that they will not listen to people as we are losing such treasure by people not posting or limiting what they feel safe to post.

Anyhow wishing you well and out of sight but not out of mind
