Permission to Brag? (and maybe to whinge a little bit...)

Sorry Elphaba...I was on vacation over the weekend and just got back...

I want to tell you that us tough girlies tend to do things like this a lot. You get used to pain and then it doesn't feel as bad as it really is. You need to make sure that you take care of yourself.....because you know that you can't take care of others if you don't take care of you....

Sometimes punching a pillow helps with the stress...or hitting a volleyball at TT or others....but make sure you take time for yourself...and if you have pain....TELL YOUR DAMN DOCTOR I'm laughing...but it's not funny....I'm being SERIOUS....

I hope that the pain goes away and that you don't have to have surgery on your neck....

Either way girlie...you know that we'll all be here to keep your spirits up...and we'll try not to kick you too much

TOUGH GIRLS???? TOUGH GIRLS??????

Hawr, hawr, hawr ... yeah, so tough!

I had to go to the doctors the other day and they gave me TWO huge shots in my bahonkas, one on each side, and I only fainted once!

That's TOUGH!!!!

Now Maureen is right about the happiness pills Elphaba. Don't suffer needlessly when you can take those pills and suffer happily!

But do take care of yourself and I sure do hope you don't have to have surgery either. We just need you all well and smiling and coming out with those neat little Elphaba *gems.*

Maureen! I was just about to send out a "Where the bloody hell are you?". Hope you had a great vacation. Where did you go?

Yeah, I know you know all about pain. And despite what TT says, we ARE tough girlies. So THERE!

Yesterday actually wasn't too bad for pain. Was much less than it has been. So that made for a very very good day. Bit sorer this morning, but I can live with it.

And the Elphaba "gems" are always there. They just get gemmier under the influence of pain killers...

I went to Columbus Ohio for the weekend (a 5 day weekend) to participate in my fantasy football draft and see some people that I only get to see once a year out there.
I think that TT just wanted a little sympathy for two shots in the .......((pity party....awwwwwww))....or maybe it was just caveman personality....me strong...you chick....ugh.

Glad you had a good day yesterday and I hope that continues

I'm sore today, but I've spent all morning laughing my head off chatting on the livestream, in between doing fullon housework. But laughter really IS the best medicine. Probably why I feel better after a visit with you lot of misfits.

That is so inspirational Elphaba! Way to go! Makes me that much more motivated to not pick up a cigarette...even though vaping is completely satisfying I still get the urge as well. If you can do it with so much going on, there is no reason I can't as well. Thank you for sharing! I hope the pain subsides soon, keep up your wonderful spirit!!!

 

[Elphaba13]

Thanks MisterShah! That's really sweet. Urges come and urges go. It has taken me a long time to get to no cigs. I think them ost important thing is to NOT beat yourself up if you have a cigarette. It's really no big deal, and it makes you feel like crap, which makes you smoke more. I read something someone else wrote somewhere on ECF (or Aussievapers, not sure):

"Focus more on the cigarettes you don't smoke than the ones you do" Or something like that. It sounded better when they said it lol. It's a journey. Some people stop straight away, others take longer. Even when i was still having 3 a day, it was 22 less than before.

That's a great point, Elpha! I was feeling a little down on myself for buying a pack the other day (it was my 21st birthday, and I was concerned I might be a bit out of it and overburn my few carts), but then I realized even with that misstep that was still 8 or 9 packs less than I'd normally buy in a week.

Maureen - What's your lineup look like?

Boy Maureen, you sure know how to pick the vacation Hot Spots!!! Columbus, Ohio??? Heck, you could have gone to Hackensack!

Another opportunity lost.

You really are in inspiration Elpha. I really had no idea what extreme pain you are going thru, and truly sorry for it, what an upheaval. Extra special good thoughts and prayers headed your way and will keep them going till you are healed and all better.
