The visit with my boyfriends dad and his dad’s wife is going well so far. They are all drinking and smoking but I’m doing my thing and we’re all having a good time and it’s fun to catch up. They love to party but just want everyone to have a good time, so if that means no smoking or drinking for me they don’t really care. I sometimes just have to remind them that I don’t…
They LOVED their present. Makes me happy. It’s called a Skogen Tomte (pronounced skoogen tomten) and it’s like a Scandinavian gnome kind of being. In Scandinavian countries they used to put them under the floorboards. It was believed they protected the home and watched over animals when you traveled. People would make offerings of butter and porridge when they returned. If you didn’t make an offering they would play tricks on you. The woman who makes them updated it so the idea is when you travel you get a pin and come back and add it to their hat. I love it so much!! They are soft and wonderful and cute. I need to get one for my home too but I just knew when I saw them it was the perfect gift.
Checking in sober - today was an uneventful sort of boring day, but that is a good thing. Balance and and getting used to the steady and stable is healthy. I hope everyone is having a peaceful day/night.
Early check in on a day off. Planned a long bike ride north today. Hoping for no rain. Well, that’s something I can’t really influence. What I do have control over is that I’ll stay sober and clean today. One day at a time. Have as good a Friday as you all can friends. Love.
The pic is the old bath house turned theatre around the corner from my place. @anon9289869 Enjoy your trip! Pack light. @KevinesKay It’s good to see you friend.
457 days & getting ready to place my sober head upon my pillow. Past two days have been rough but I’m hanging in there. I will be moving into my own place as early as next weekend and will be staying in my co-worker’s guest house until then. Although not looking forward to it, I’m returning to work tomorrow. Hopefully it will go by fast and then I have a 3-day weekend.
happens! Good luck repairing!
