Day 335.
Such a good day. A pretty normal day, to be honest. But perfectly so. Some puttering at my desk early this morning, and then the rest of the day outside in my wee garden or on the trails, enjoying the beauty weather. It’s crazy, but in the before time, I used to drink on days like this trying to get the same feeling I have now…
These guys aren’t quite ready to go out yet, but hey - 7 days ago they were seeds. Kinda reminds me of all of us, growing into our new sober selves. If it doesn’t feel like change is happening? Maybe it’s still under the surface. 
What do you say, friends? I say we go put down more sober roots tomorrow. It’s gonna be another fine day!
G’night all, big love 
@MrsOdh oh, I lol’d at your “yes day” post! the part about pizza, underwear, and games! 
But honestly, I hope you have a wonderful time. Your family and you have been through so much. Hugs.
@CATMANCAM I’m so glad you’re feeling so good! And that sobriety does too.

Still pretty tired. Woke up at 4.40 am to go to work. Everything else is getting better in my life exept my job. It’s just a warehouse job. Nothing fancy. I’m tired of it. One of the reasons I wanted to go back to school

Correct yes. I had motorbikes and Vespasian first. I never Got my car drivers license and I never drove a car. I still havnt.
Growing up, we never had a family car. Neither of my parents drove. So it wasn’t something that I was able to be taught from a young age etc. And my parents had no money so they were never able to buy Me a car as a teen as alot of parents do for there kids when they get there license as a teen.
I also moved to London at 21 and lived over seas till I was 30 so i didn’t need to drive then.
Then at 30 when I moved back to Australia, meth happened and ten years went by, leading me to now.
So yes, I had bikes and vespas first.
I’ve always lived in big city’s. I’ve never lived anywhere thats a far commute to anywhere really. Its never been a problem for me not driving.
BUT… I am very excited about learning how to drive and buying my first ever car!! I will definetly feel a new found sense of freedom I think

Day 46. I did it!
My friend’s wedding was gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. I loved it. And I didn’t touch a drop. There were a couple of moments when I felt a slightly urge: sitting down for dinner and having wine poured (hard to find satisfying alternative to I stuck to water). But ultimately I felt good not drinking. I felt proud. I tried to mingle more and do the bridesmaidy duty of talking to other members of the guest party not in my immediate friendship group. I had more proper conversations. As the night went on, I really noticed how drink changed some behaviour, not from a judging perspective but just noting things I wouldn’t before. Reading This Naked Mind has helped with this. I’m up early with zero hangover and I really enjoyed my day.
What a gorgeous part of the world to enjoy a very early hangover free morning…

Great share and very happy for you A! Such great realizations and observations to make. Hope you’ll enjoy your surrounding this morning. I’m sure you are.
This is so strange, we’re having like the first days of summer here. +1 C is considered pretty warm in Sweden,it’s like a nice spring day
Sounds like you’ve got a nice view. We live close to a big airbase and can usually watch Jas planes flying above us year around. It’s really cool.
However they aren’t doing much about Covid-19 over here. They are just letting people die. My village is one of the highest infection zones and have been for a while. Everything is open as usual and from. Tomorrow our Gouvernment is giving the entire country easier restrictions, with some exceptions which would be upto the provinces to decide by themselves.
Basically that means that bars and stuff will be open and able to take in more people, but we still won’t be allowed to be more than 10 ppl for Pa’s funeral ceremony. Everything for money. It’s slightly annoying.
However considering all the scary things you guys have, Huge spiders, extreme heat, scorpions, snakes, and all I don’t doubt for a minute that you’ll be Okey during a possible zombie apocalypse.

Day 274
It’s one of those days.
All my shorts especially the Lilly ones are like four sizes to big. That’s good in one way but considering the money I put on those and the limited outfit options it’s not good. Apparently the seamstress in my village have closed.
None of my summer dresses, including a beautiful pink one from Abercrombie fits anymore either.
I’ve gained like 4 pounds since I got back home last week. It doesn’t really show but the scale tells it.
I’m just feeling off.
In top of that tweenie has been skipping breakfast every since she got back home. Today school called and accused us of not give her food. Like that wasn’t enough tweenie called her Ma and demanded her to send money to us so we could drive her to the city and buy a new Bikini after school today. She didn’t say anything about it to us, so her Ma called being furious and started to yell at me.
I kindly informed her about the fact that her spoiled brat own no less than four bikinis, and if she doesn’t like any of them I frankly doesn’t care if she shoes to swim naked, because that’s the way she mostly dress anyway, no matter what we’re saying.
I didn’t wait for an answer, I just stayed calm and politely asked her to stop ruin my life and go to hell.
My husband will probably get in trouble for that, but I had enough. Tweenie is only supposed to stay her for a few weeks more. If they choose to turn those few weeks into more havoc than they already have created during this year, I’m putting up a fight. I’m not taking this, and I shouldn’t have to deal with it at all.
I always liked see myself as a tolerant and friendly soul, but maybe I’m not.
Right before tweenie Ma called to inform us that they are moving Pa’s body into their village today. He had to be in quarantine in the hospitals mortgage until today because he was a Covid-19 case. Therefore we won’t be able to see him, and the funeral agency won’t even be allowed to dress him. They will be allowed to open the casket and lay down clothes for him. So we wished for them to give him his new summer clothes he bought right before he got sick. Amd Hawaii shirt and a pair of beige trousers. So he can dress himself in the afterlife.
It’s only 10.25 in the morning here, and I already had enough of this day. I was supposed to get some order in my closet, but after tweenies Ma’s little outburst I had to sit out in the sun and screw up my diet with another vegan ice-cream.
Have a nice Monday everyone.
