@Nvbookthief Super congratulations!
Day 57
Today I learnt that I can’t follow origami instructions half an hour before bed. And the kids keep examing the poor cat’s crotch (do u say crotch for a cat?) because he was neutered today.

Checking in on what will be Day 40! Had a reason to be grateful for my sobriety the other evening when the animal control officer called to tell me a large basset and small lab puppy had bee seen chasing deer and the game warden was on his way! I knew only one basset owner in town but not her # so I drove to her house, something I wouldn’t have done with 2 glasses of wine in me. The game warden will shoot a dog for running deer if he can’t find the owner so this was important. Never did find the basset, wily fellow, and learned that the owner had just put her old basset down the day before. Irony.

Day 40! This is an amazing achievement for me! I’m so proud of myself for facing my fears by starting this journey, and by walking in the rooms of my Na group. I now have a sponsor, am working the steps, go to a meeting everyday, I have met amazing clean people that actually care about me and want to see me prospor. I have that with family and you all too, but the in person fellowship of people who actually understand me, is more than rewarding. The big hugs and I’m proud of you’s and hearing their stories struggles and triumphs are a blessing. I am more than grateful for so many things this new way of life is offering. I’m thankful to be able to be around addicts in recovery instead of addicts using. My relationship with God has grown tremendously in these last 40 days and I truly could not do it without Him! 
I hope y’all have an amazing day and remember YOU are worthy, loved, beautiful, handsome, and powerful. If nobody told you today I love you all and am extremely proud of you!!

I think the lattittude might have something to do with it. I’m not sure how much it helps with depression. It sure helps me to be better awake when getting up in the dark or when its gloomy dark and overcast. As it is now.

I got my results Monday and they were negative thank goodness! Thank you for checking 
yes it would appear that some people suck. Sad but true. I’m feeling a bit more optimistic today I suppose. I’m just gonna go in and mind my own business.

Another nice autumn morning with my best friend. I also finally got another pair of my favorite glasses! The company I used to get them from stopped making them, and I broke my pair early this year. Finally found another company making them.
I also got new pillows yesterday! Pretty sure the ones I had date back to the Clinton administration. I splurged and got good ones, holy moly what a difference.
@Lisa07 it was a no-brainer with what to start my work day with today. A true guitar pioneer. Huge loss. RIP EVH.

You’re not doing badly, you are still here and still trying and that is the thing that matters most. Don’t give up, keep pushing for sobriety!! We are all here for you

I love that style of glasses! They look great! Alas, my lenses are so thick that the one time I tried something similar they did not look great. Thick plastic frames for me, it’s okay though.

Coincidentally at two of my roles I’ve held at my company, I was given the nickname Clark Kent!

Thanks! Yeah me too. Love my tortoise shell half-frames. Old fashioned. They’re just online prescription cheapos (~$40) but they hold up for 2 yrs or so before a lens pops out or the frame starts to separate from the metal.
Glad to have them back. I love my “house glasses” which are just thick full-frame tortoise shells, also cheapos but indestructable – but I much prefer these.

Ah you’re so lucky. That’s how I feel about my prescription ray bans-they stopped making them 5 years ago & my sunglasses are being held together by one screw 
love yours though, very classy

I’m here, I’m alive and I’m sober.
Day 38.
Started a new class in school we’re doing a science research project. We’ve only got a few weeks to prepare and present a fully done research study. The speed is totally crazy.
My friends who was just dropping by to leave some American groceries (remind me next time that I don’t ever need Lucky Charms that bad) had to go back and Quarantine at our house because someone they’ve been in close contact with had tested positive for Covid-19. We’re all negative here, boys are back in school. And the quarantined guests are still waiting for test results before they can go back home to Norway. I heard something about that they might take the opportunity to stay over the weekend, because they feel so good being here. I’m totally drained of energy and just want the house by myself again. It’s going to take years before I talk to anyone again 
I’m so tired of people coming to visit, coming to stay, coming for help. Some piece and quiet alone time is desperately needed.
Besides that, all good. Changed my green gem Monroe piercing to a black pearl in an attempt to look more proper. I like it, but this piercing jewelry is in metal (titanium) and not bioplastic so I probably won’t keep it for long.
Been on zoom since 10.00 working on the project, with meetings, a seminar and interviews. Tomorrow will be the same. It’s fun but my brain feels like a huge fog, and the speed of the class and my quarantined house occupants isn’t really helping.
I hope everything is going well for all of you
