Prayers sent your way my friend. Just do what you can and try not to stress over it. My husbands grandmother had that procedure done and feels much better since having it. :pray:t3::yellow_heart:

Checking in at the end of day 199.
Thought long and hard about drinking today. Was lay down turning it all over in my mind. Got a feeling of panic when I thought about where I was going, and then a feeling of calm when I realised that I hadn’t actually done anything and that I still had the time to make a good decision. Thought it through some more and decided that I would need to lean on willpower to get me through today. Made a conscious and deliberate decision to go and drink two pints of water, and it all went away. Feeling like a dry drunk off and on at the moment. All of the bad side effects are slipping out of my head because it has been so long since I felt them.
Maybe a looming 200 day milestone is messing with me a bit.
Anyway, I’m going to bed sober tonight, so it’s a win.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight. :sleeping::zzz:

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. :blush:

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 :heart:
