Day 325
We’ve had Yes-day nr 2 today. The last one for the summer. We’re going to have one during the winter too.
We was supposed to take the bus to the city and the bus home. But yesterday we had a friend over, he was supposed to stay for a quick coffee but ended up being here for a few hours and over dinner. Before he went home he offered us a ride to town because he was going anyway.
We happily took the offer. Had a great day and when we where supposed to take the bus home he offered us a ride again. Almost like perfectly planned from the universe. 
We had a great day, and it seems to sort itself out with my drug using friend. The social service has been there for two days in a row now, so I guess they’ll take make sure that the boy is Okey.
The day started with my brother sending a photo on my Pa’s old dodge van. I asked if it was sold and he said it was. I think he felt bad because a few years ago I was talking to Pa about buying it,but we finally agreed that he was going to sell it to someone else. Because the repairs would take me years.
I said It was great that it was being sold. And after a few hours my Ma called and talked about a half and hour and told me exactly who bought the car, where they lived and all that. I’m not sure if she also thought I was going to be upset or if she just felt bad. The car ended up with a couple who had been looking for a car like that for years. They are going to fix it up and use it for themselves. So it felt really good for Ma and for all of us. Also like it’s meant to be.
Yesterday me and my husband also decided that we aren’t going to take the kids to a beach for a beach day. All beaches is flooding with people and our news just cabled out that there’s a fourth wave of the pandemic. While they just let go of all the restrictions. So we started to looking for a pool. We couldn’t find one within our budget. So I said that we’ll wait, until today when we where going to the city.
The first store we went to happened to have a medium sized pool on sale. Only one left, so we bough that one, and could also afford two soccer goals for the boys to have in the garden. Within our budget.
For every day things keeps getting better and better. Comparing to a year ago, I’m amazed. And a lot happier now.
The kids also bough me a surprise today, a new coffee mug in metal. I’ve been wanting one for a very long while. So it was very kind of them to get me one.
Happy week everyone

345 days no alcohol.
313 days no cocaine.
2 days no binge-eating.
Exercise felt good today. I was advised to only do the resistance part of the program every 48 hours so it was just cardio today, my leg tics were bad though and were determined to try to throw me off the cross-trainer! Followed by a very peaceful swim (compared to the last few very busy days).
The cutting down to half strength nicotine has gone well, the first day I noticed I was a little irritable but after that I quickly forgot I was on half strength. This is giving me confidence that I can handle the switch to 0mg in another 6 days, which I plan to use for further 6 days after that before stopping completely. Hopeful.
Oh, and I caught my first number sequence, kind of…
