Day 82 of no self harm (forgot to check in yesterday)
Yesterday was decent. Nothing of note, hung out with VR friend and my best friend. I was so anxious about going to my grandpa’s that I didn’t sleep until about 7am so I ended up staying home. I’m glad I did. It was really nice to relax a bit.
the way my online college works is I have 8 week classes then I get a 2 week break. Finished my criminal investigation class today with an 86! The best grade I’ve gotten so far and I’ve been doing college for a year now. Now I’ll have 2 weeks to do whatever.
Overall I’m doing okay today. I didn’t eat until about 7pm but I ended up making myself some nachos and I ate them all.
Something positive: been really enjoying my new desk and I’ve gotten back into a lot of my old hobbies like coloring since I have the room to do that now
Well, thank you for saying so, but everyone has their own skills… some people are good at music, being a doctor or mechanic, cooking, all kinds of things.
Languages are my “thing”.
I was lucky… where I grew up in Canada, English was the main language in town, but my parents always spoke Italian at home, and I went to school / church in French. It makes things easier when you start off that way !
I can understand a bit of Dutch, especially when it’s in writing, but that’s about it.
Good luck… have you had a look at italki.com ? You could probably find (quite easily, I suspect) a teacher over the interet. I’ve been using italki for Japanese, and it’s really good to be able to talk to a native-speaker teacher.
I remember one year when I was in university in Edmonton… it snowed at least once EVERY SINGLE MONTH OF THE YEAR except July.
Still, I liked living in Edmonton… simpler times.
I’ve always heard that Denver is a nice place, but I’ve never been.
Anyway, good morning everyone.
So, I’ve just hit my one-week mark, and I have to say that I’m pretty pleased about it.
Reading Allen Carr’s book (again) was a big help, and I’m pleased to say that I don’t particularly miss my (previously) daily litre of wine !
Have a good day, everyone.
If you go on fenders website you can look up the serial number, I’ll ask my friend Jason he knows alot about fenders and if you really want hard core info just send me detailed pictures of each of them and I can get him to look.
My sister speaks Japanese, she said it’s an incredibly difficult language, and the fact thar they use 3 different writing styles makes it worse, she learned years ago from courses and being in a circle of friends who are Japanese. She has a love for Asian culture and wants to live there, idk why the whole world shuts down at 9 pm there
Well, not quite 9 PM, but I get your point.
I’ve been there several times, and I’m looking forward to the country opening up again, so that I can go back there.
Japanese is definitely a challenge, and you’re right, the writing system is (IMHO) incredibly complicated… but I’m working on it. Believe me, it makes the Cyrillic alphabet look like a dawdle !
Anyway, I hope that you have a good day… I’m just sitting here and studying Japanese with my glass of “mugi-cha” (your sister will probably know what that is !).
Yes, with time I understand some, when I hear People talk. Actually my father was dutch, but never really Taught me So I understand a lot(or I did, he died over 10 years ago so I dont hear i regulary anymore) But to wrigth is harder.
Yep, seen it all
Looking at season 4 from Fargo (Videoland), but do not liking it as much as the first 3 seasons. Have you seen Bloodline? I liked that one as well.
Same here! went to the pub, a BBQ and a football match, im so glad I wasn’t tempted (well maybe a little after spending 3 quid on a bottle of water lol). Enjoyed my sobriety and the company. Getting easier to enjoy myself and my achievements after a couple of weeks drink free.
Keep going you got this!
Day 1342
Day 9 no sugar
Had a visit yesterday from my brother and later on from my best friend. Had a good conversation with my brother and he finally talked about his feelings. He’s not happy in life and uses alcohol as selfmedication. Does that sound familiar?
I did as well.
He’s on the waitinglist for therapy.
But when he was gone I’ve got an app from him asking me not to ask questions about his mental state again. He says he only want to talk about it when he start the conversation about it himself.
Ok, I will.
I hope his therapy starts soon and he can open up. This can’t be healthy for him.
Still in pain and can’t do much. I think I have an inflamation. Going to phone the hospital for help.
Maybe I need antibiotica.
Miss my walks in nature. I try to go outside every day but I just walk in my street. Not far and not much nature. I miss my “every day tree”
What’s that you may think?
Well I walk by the same tree every day and make a picture of it. I collect them in a album. I like to see it change trough pictures. It’s a tree who is damaged trough life but still stands and grows. I see myself in it. Damaged but alive and kicking!
Monday will be gym morn and pilates in the evening. In between job searching. My son is coming home from uni as well today, and I am so looking forward to seeing him.

Last coffee for today. Already been to my family doctor, looking at the left side of my mouth. It’s been hanging a little bit for years but it has gotten worse lately. Makes me drool a little bit at times. Bloody annoying. Doc didn’t quite know what to make of it and is going to consult a neurologist.
BTW, this hanging mouth has been happening for years and is caused by nerve damage I may have acquired when, dead drunk, I fell of my bike and flat on my face. Booze ruins more than you love, to use a Dutch anti alcohol slogan form long ago.
Never again. Just for today I’ll remain sober and clean and I hope and expect the same from all of you friends. Have as good a week as you all can. Love from my balcony.
