I don’t know if it’s possible for you but a lot of times when I’m like “IM TOO BUSY TO EVEN BREATHE LET ALONE HANG OUT!” What I really want is my people to just come sit in my disaster of a house and have coffee and snack while I clean. But I feel like they don’t want to do that so I don’t ask. Like litterally the only time I might have to visit is while I’m grocery shopping but maybe you ALSO need to shop. Let’s ship together. But that seems like a weird thing to ask someone to do. Anyhow. It’s neither here nor there but maybe I’f you told her you’d be happy to just chill with her while she does chores or ride along on her errands someday maybe that would free up some time for you two. Or you know. I’m a stranger on the internet who doesn’t know your dynamics with her at all so just ignore me if that is unfitting or unwanted advice.

Day 41- today I’m getting back on the horse with something I’ve been avoiding for months. I got a bad taste in my mouth cause some people are jerks but I really need to and liked to do it previous to those encounters. So. Today I’m just gonna fumble my way through it. No courage in a shot glass. Just courage i guess.

Day 214
I probably did exactly 15 min of tidying last night like the litter box and some trash and the kitchen. However I have left my room not looking great and before it spirals I need to deal.
I also need to leave the house to do work at the library. My car has a problem that makes me need to drive it minimally. I believe I can fix or change a radiator cooling hose, though. And it passed state inspection, barely.
There is a huge list of things to get done. I am going to write it down on paper and honestly eat and get the room done first. Im terrified. Plan to walk at 1pm to get things done in the afternoon. But ive been laying here for 2 hours just paralyzed.
Today at 8p the clock changes to 7 months sober. I have no choice but to get through this.

Congratulations to the first sober week. 
Is there a big hall or s.th. like that? Or do you drive to all these concerts? 
Either way, have a ton of fun!

Day 96
I’m having a really hard time being motivated to do, well, most things. I’ve always been a procrastinator but it’s at a high right now. There are so many things on my “to do list” and all I seem to do is completely mindless shit. I deleted a couple of game apps this morning because I go down a rabbit hole super fast with those. I don’t know where this recent brain fog is coming from but it’s starting to get to me. I’m not having any cravings to drink but I feel like if I continue to have so much idle time for too long, I may find myself wanting to fill my time with my toxic ex booze.

Checking in on day 4
Going to have an online training in a few minutes, I’ll learn some news about the treatments of maculopathy. To be honest this is a hard day with little to no focus on important job things 
All I want to do is sleep.
I was reading “This naked mind” too long yesterday, I completely forgot time. I like it 
Have a beautiful sober day you lovely people

Checking in, day 698. I’m feeling better, did some chores and went for a run today. I still don’t have too much work, but that’s ok for now. Tomorrow will be my first day at the gardening job and I’m a bit anxious about that. It will probably be pretty demanding physically and I really don’t want to be too weak for the tasks, also I don’t have experience with tools and stuff, so I will be probably pretty clumsy. It’s hard to admit that I may not be enough. But if I don’t try, I will never change, that’s for sure.

You cant beat getting your comfys on early this time of year Haylay. I finish work, potter about, get tea ready, bath, comfys on and usually in bed reading by 8pm. It beats rolling home from the pub. Good luck with your piano.
