My childhood home (a house in the countryside, dad still lives there) had either mice or shrews running between the roof and ceiling. Dad got rid off them time after time.

Ya part of the benefits of living in the country up in the mountains. It think it’s better than termites anyway.

:face_with_monocle: googling “shrews”

I think my AZ pack rats are cuter than your Dads shrews :crazy_face:
As long as we aren’t hearing anymore scratching from under the house I’ll be ok.

Sorry about your puppies. General term for a person that has more that one dog. You know during all the shit that is 2020 wifey and I every once and awhile say out loud. At least the old girls (Minnie and Alice) are doing well. It’s kind of funny how Minnie’s arthritis is better in the winter. She had a rough couple of flare ups over the summer. I hope your puppas well and good health. Oh and you too. Hope your arthritis stays under control. In our house and family it’s always the pets first.
Have a nice weekend.

You are a better person than I am. I don’t do kindly with other people’s efforts of de-scrooging me. I need to remove myself from such situations for their safety’s sake :see_no_evil::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::flushed::rofl:

You haven’t been sober because of your pills, but because of your inner strength. Pills help you in many ways, but you are the one, who got your shit together for 104 days, not the meds. It will be hard, but you can do this!

Day 55 and I’m at work on not my normal work day to learn a new thing! Something I would NOT be excited to do if I was hungover.

I like the pep talk and yes Danni has done some very hard work at her sobriety. But…
Mood Stabilizing meds are also important in sobriety. Just saying.

Sorry you’re having a hard time Danni. I struggle with ADHD bad as well, but in different form. I can’t get alot done around the house, not because I don’t want to, but bc my mind is racing so fast that I don’t know how. My girls are so loud that it messes with my mind like crazy which then makes me lash out. And I hated my therapist because he wouldn’t give me any medicine for it. I manage to get through it some days and some days it’s much harder. But I have complete and total faith in you that you will make it. Just keep your routine and keep doing what you do even when you have the medication. What is your higher power trying to show you? Maybe that you can do it without the medicine? There is a answer somewhere from your higher power. Keep up the great work girl

Oh mah gosh! What a dapper gentleman. Glad he recovered and is doing well. Miss Lupe loves long, speedy walks and it was hard to see her down for so long, though she dragged her foot around like it was nothing for a while. We put a bootie on her foot and the top wore down within a week. She was soon picking that leg back up no problem and shocked our vet. The resiliency of dogs always is an excellent lesson for us flawed humans. Thanks for the love. And thanks @Dazercat, too.

Today is officially my 5 months clean and sober. Man I really lost my shit last night and I overwhelmed myself with overthinking and it really sucked. Thank you @Dragonflygirl82 for being there for me last night. It’s embarrassing sometimes to vent here but it’s actually the best thing to do to let it all out. Super grateful for all of you and for having a place where I can have a breakdown if needed. Hope everyone has a wonderful day today, love you guys!!! :sunglasses::metal:t2:
