Those are good places to be. I’m making it just fine. One day at a time here. Nothing has drastically changed in life which isn’t all bad. Plenty to be grateful for. Just have to keep my focus on that and press on.

He’s trying to make it up to me. Scrambled to get a gift card, flowers and regular bday card. Now he’s throwing something together for dinner. I’m still pissed off though. It’s gonna take me a few days to get over it. I don’t need material things. A simple happy bday is all I wanted from him.

Happiest o’ Birthdays to you, Lisa! May the year ahead bring you all good things! Hopefully I’m not setting the bar too high… :laughing:
And I hope your favourite cake somehow magically appears in your day to make up for any lack of acknowledgment :wink: :birthday: :partying_face:

Tired! Today was a 5-6hr zoom work meeting, that at times made me want to stick my head through the drywall, but only once did I think about a drink – and I played the tape forward, as so many of you say, and that quickly squelched any thoughts of “one drink”.

I had to laugh. I was so wishing I could ditch my work call to crash the TS zoom call and meet the beautiful humans also in the process of recovering and reclaiming their lives… …I guarantee you your meeting was wayyy higher functioning and more productive than what I just endured today! :laughing: Looking forward to meeting you all on Saturday, if there is still a zoom meeting then.

I should catch up on work tonight, but I’m not going to. One of my learnings is that I would reward myself with wine instead of free time. Time is so much better, and I find myself feeling relief – would you believe – no longer having apprehensive thoughts in the back of my mind as to how the night might unfold (despite the best intentions of moderation) once the bottle was uncorked and the first glass poured…

It’s dog-walk-o’clock now, and so I will indulge her shedding self in an extra-long jaunt. :relaxed: :paw_prints:

I hope you are all well and thriving and coming across many moments of unforeseen joy, along with everything else this journey brings up!

Day 21. Started the day with a lot of negativity and the day has mostly been stressful. I had to do a lot of stepping back today to center myself. I understand my emotions simply as reactions to external events, so it was easy to not allow myself fall into a pit of despair. Onward and upward.
