Hope you’re feeling better today 
Hardly… I average about 5 days off per year.
The joys of being self-employed.

Been extraordinarily stressed out recently but still hanging in. Have some friends visiting who drink quite a bit is always a little irritating but my boyfriend is still not drinking so I feel a lot better about it. Chillin on the beach today - finally a pretty day.

I don’t think the kitchen will ever be totally finished Sophia. Now I’ve started I don’t think I’ll ever stop. So much to do, not just my kitchen but my whole place needs lots of work. And I’m starting to like it too. Anyway, today I hung blinds for the window, got some plants which I repotted, and repotted my Yucca too. I want more plants but not now. Now it’s time for some cooking.

More Palm trees I love that. And what we call a dinosaur plant too. I’ve got one in my bedroom 
it looks awesome. What’s for dinner? Can I come?
And I guess that’s how it goes, whatever we do over here the more projects gets created. It’s exciting and annoying at the same time. I’ve got zero patience for long run projects, a quick one weekend painting or wallpaper change is the limit. But I know we’ve got some huge projects we have to do within a year.

Happy sober back atcha. Hosting a socially distant close family gathering. Craft beer and wine for them. Cider - non alcoholic- for me. Lucy juicy burgers. Fresh corn. Salad and apple crisp followed by hot chocolate around the bonfire. Kniiting a therapy shawl for a member of our community who just lost a son to suicide during a drunken episode. No sip of wine or beer is worth the unhappiness and tragedy of alcohol. Take it from me. My brother died of vodka & Tylenol in his mid forties. Not a way to go. His last words were “I f’d up; I went back to drinking.” Thanks for letting me vent!

Day 41. We postponed our mini getaway and are hosting a mini pool party at home instead. My kids and mom will be joining us.
Already 106°F/41°C and not even the hottest time of day yet.
Wife and I have been doing a ton of gardening too. We’ve got a really cool cactus and succulent garden going. It’s our newest hobby and really fun!

Checking in sober. My lawyer contacted me yesterday to let me know that my divorce is finally official. I’m glad it was continued twice as I was not ready. I am ready now and relieved it’s over. Onward and upward. I’m actually very content and enjoy my life as a single person. My new furniture just came yesterday too. Just waiting one one last thing which is a beautiful tree for the corner of the room
