Checking in Day 264
Today has been… okay i guess. I had a workout this morning then got showered and ready to leave the apartment. I stopped myself to sit down and pray. I have been feeling “off” the last few days. Didnt know why. Just my mood was weird and i was restless especially. I realized i hadnt prayed to my HP in awhile. Not good for me bcuz i know that my recovery is dependant on my spiritual condition and the relationship with my HP. I put on a 20 min song. Some soft, nature music. And prayed and then bawled and then was reminded of everything that i have in my life today. Full on gratitude. Surrendered to my HP and gave up control on trying to manage my life. I needed that. I dont feel as restless. Spent 10 min meditating (again which i havent done in awhile) and THEN I went out. Grabbed stuff from the dollarstore, came back, and created this:
Its another Christmas gift but this one is going to my sons LPN who watches him on the bus. Its the tiniest one ive made, being 3" in diameter.
My eating has been okay today thankfully. Overdid it on the caffeine tho. Gotta watch that. But other than that im okay
Hope everyone is doing well!
Checking in. Still counting the days, but it is alot easyer now then for 10 months ago. What a journey, what I have accomplished, I have come so far I can see that now. I have pther issues I have to work on, or het help with, I struggle with anxiety, still. Just now the health anxiety hit me, and I get scared.
Hope you all are well and are staying on track being the best version of who you are and want to be
Off work early today. I was able to make an appointment for next week with a therapist that’s a certified addiction counselor and he even takes insurance. No plans tonight. Volunteering tomorrow morning and then watching football with a friend at my place. No alcohol in the house and he won’t bring any. May have to put in a couple of hours of work on Sunday. May bake some pumpkin bread for a treat. It’s been really warm all week and is supposed to get back up to 80F over the next few days. I’m ready for cooler weather. But not the time change. I tend to get SAD starting around now.
Anyone here a mechanic? I’m curious if changing a water pump and possibly reservoir in my Durango would be a difficult task or if I could possibly do it myself. Looking for advice, cuz I really don’t wanna pay an arm and a leg if it’s something that’s not too complicated.

Im going to wait until next week just to let the tooth heal properly, i cant wait to get in the pool
Bonfire Night, or Guy Fawkes Night is celebrated on the 5th November every year here in the UK.
In 1605, Guy Fawkes conspired & attempted to blow up the Houses Of Parliament here in the UK, but specifically, in London. He, along with a group of others were all involved in the plot. However, he was caught & was then sentenced to be hung, drawn & quartered.
Bonfire displays normally take place to commemorate the occasion every year; effigies of Guy Fawkes are burnt, and many are accompanied by firework displays.
Day 148
31 days no cigarettes

My daughter messaged to ask if she could come stay for a few weeks and she asked me if I’d like to go on holiday and it will be her treat Oh my, I’m so happy she will be coming to stay and that we may be going away somewhere together xxx maybe the stories have connected us again or maybe I worry too much or maybe a bit of both she will be here Sunday and I cannot wait! That is all xxx
Evening Check In Day 264
I am soo ready for bed and its not even 730pm here lmao. Overall day was good! My hubby brought me home some Peanut brittle from Purdys Chocolates and a box of chocolates as well for us to share. He also brought home Chinese Food for supper. So my eating wasnt the greatest obviously.
My son got sent to the Principals office at school today for the first time ever So that was a bit of a shock. Had a good chat with him, after he told us what happened. Then confirmed that with the teacher who mentioned something else he had done which was the real cause of the visit to the Principals office. He was sincere in his apology and so i hope the lesson was learned.
Work this weekend is on the agenda for me. I always like making money for the family. Knowing it goes to good things motivates me to stay on top of everything. The nice thing about being a Complex Needs Specialist for my job is knowing many different strategies to work thru many different behaviours that people can have or struggle with. I actually have begun to use some of these strategies with my son as he has sort of developed a bit of an atitude lately and struggles with listening and not respecting peoples boundaries. Everything can be a learning opportunity
Other than this. I have 2 more dreamcatchers to make for xmas. Then in December ill be baking up a storm for other gifts (i am giving people boxes of 4 cupcakes).
Hope everyone is having a good day/night!
Hugs TS fam!
