Thank you all the hugs back to you. It’s absolutely an escape, but it feels like a nice one. Hopefully we’ll get help for tweenie but the more time that passes the more I doubt that anyone is actually willing to help. It’s like an endless loop of hopelessness right now.
Thanks for being here, listening and coming with advice
Day 153: Early to bed and not so early to rise today is just what I needed. I managed to get Miss Lupe to do her business out in the yard, so fingers crossed she will let us skip a walk today. The high will be 0F/-17C and there a nasty windchill. I bought some lovely looking split chicken breasts and thighs that I’ll be poaching, shredding, and then simmering in tomatillo and serrano sauce that has been waiting in the freezer since late summer for just this sort of occasion. A taste of summer on a frigid day. We’ll eat it with corn tortillas and I might make a citrus slaw to go with it. Mmm I’m already hungry for it. A day in the kitchen with tunes (maybe the new Foo Fighters album for a fun vibe) and the sunny blue winter sky and sparking crisp snow pack looking beautiful out the kitchen window with no need to go outside…yes, that’s my plan! Sober Sundays are magic.
Sending you my loving warm hugs today, stay strong and stay sober, come here if you need a helping hand.
Morning All! A bright sunny ski and -40 °F windchills, makes for an indoor day! Still will head out for Crossfit then back home to make some soups and cupcakes and muffins for the week.
Day 35: I am going to start manifesting sleep filled nights and channel my inner sloth spirit animal because this not sleeping thing is for…well some animal that doesn’t sleep!
Really sorry that you’re going through so much with her, Sophia. You really are a better person than I am; I could not put up with that. I like what Menno said too to take care of you. I feel for your boys, that’s no way to be in a state of stress for little ones. Hugs sweetie…
Checking in DAY 197!
My last check in I mentioned I wasn’t feeling my best mentally and physically, well it turns out, I am sick. Went ahead and got tested for covid yesterday. Awaiting my results. I cant control how I feel right now but I can control what I put into my body… lots of vegetables!
Crazy how much our physical health and hormones can have such power over our mental state.
Anyway just letting you all know why Ive been MIA. Also, I dont have very good internet. Not quite the escape to my moms that I imagined LOL but life is pretty damn good as long as I am sober. Hope you all have a great day!
Mine will include:
Laundry
Walking the dogs
Food prep for the week
Checking in on my online students
Helping BF put boxes in the attic
Making unhealthy snacks for the Super Bowl
Eating said unhealthy snacks
Bed after game…during if it’s boring
Prayers of gratitude for another sober day
Congrats on your 34 days! I couldn’t help but reply to your comment, as I made pizzas with my kids last night as well, dough and all, and don’t usually. And I woke up to 35 days this morning.
Ha. You are a sister from another mister - we made dough for the first time too. It must be something to with 34th day brain waves, or something. Well done on your days. I’m loving seeing them accumulate.
Weird Sunday, of course I have no idea what I’m feeling or how to even explain it. However, I’m sober and so grateful for that. I start my next class on Tuesday, so that will be a good distraction.
Thanks so much Tyler. It doesn’t seem fair having those two milestones so close together.
But it’s so fucking cool.
I hope you are doing better today with your depression. And that you can get back to your walks. Try not to over do your walks when you get back out there so you don’t hurt yourself. Easy does it. I know it’s so freeing just a simple thing like walking. It has helped me tons now that the roads are clear of ice and snow.
Give Prince a loving scratch under the chin for me. I hope he is well.
