Looking at the weather, we just had like 3 days with ā€œsummerā€ aka not to much rain and about +18 C.
Tomorrow itā€™s supposed to be cold amd rainy again and the forecast for 14 days says about +12 C and heavy rain.
Thereā€™ll be no camping trip.

This summer seriously sucks. Even the nice weather seems canceled. If I gather all the nice amd sunny days this summer it comes up to a maximum of 8 days.

It sucks!

Pisces here I know the feeling. We always goes to the ocean in the summer for vacation. I live next to a river. Itā€™s not salty but itā€™s water so itā€™ll do most of the time. But once a year as a minimum I need an ocean.

I forgot to mention that in Astrology Aquarius is an air sign together with Gemini and Libra.

Water is Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Earth: Taurus, Virgo Capricorn

Fire: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

But that doesnā€™t mean you donā€™t gravitate to water, itā€™s not only the sun signs who determine things like that :blush:

Just a quick check in to say hello! Im having a lovely weekend doing lots of work on my recovery Iā€™ve finally found myself a sponsor! Im gonna start the work tomorrow and feeling very excited. I love my old sponsor but she moved away last year as much as weā€™re still In touch she canā€™t take me back through the work so I found a great lady who is from my local ca fellowship whoā€™s got a couple of years sobriety Iā€™m looking forward to the new experience of someone else taking me through the steps ā€¦ im really enjoying going to bed early and getting up fresh to walk my dog for 3 mile walks itā€™s really uplifting for my mental health I used to love being outdoors when my children was little but as the years went by and addiction took over I got really lazy my plan is to get some more fitness and get back to some running that I used to do many years ago . Itā€™s lovely to wake up happy and positive. Happy Sunday beautiful people x

Oh man, Jenna; sorry to hear thatā€™s how your day is going. Whatā€™s going on, can I (we) help? Maybe just getting it off your chest will help.

Day 193. Yesterday was a bad day. I had massive cravings for a cocktail. I was bored all afternoon wich did not help at allā€¦ I made me a little depressed at the end of the night.
Thank god i survived. I think I came close to giving up.
Nice warm weather here, all your friends posting drinks on social media,ā€¦
yeah it sucked.

If you canā€™t go outdoors camping because of the weather, you can go inside camping in your dining room. So thatā€™s what weā€™re doing the rest of the week.

With planned day trips at the spots we were supposed to visit anyway.

Youā€™re here and you ARE dealing with the pain, it does suck for sureā€¦ Family issues and relationships are complicated when we expect a little bit more than weā€™re getting. Iā€™ve carved out my relationships with my sister and my mother after years of dysfunction in our family dynamics. I guess for me I have them in my life on my terms; as in they canā€™t make me crazy or mad, etcā€¦ I know how much it hurts Jenna, but you keep doing the best thing for YOU and life will be better than before. Thank you for sharing here, Iā€™m sending a big mom hug!
