Day 371
I got up at 620am for work only to find that my little guy did catch this flu from me n hubby :frowning: he hasnt thrown up yet thankfully, which is my biggest fear as he aspirates (hence why he is gtube fed). I decided to stay home with him to make sure he didnt end up having to go to the hospital. I lowered the volume and feed rate on his feed pump to make sure it was a much more gentle rate that his formula went into his belly.
This afternoon I went grocery shopping since he has been doing fairly well. Him and hubby stayed home and relaxed playing videogames. On the way to the train i started getting using thoughts. I never feed into the thoughts anymore but instead come at it from an inquisitive point of view. Kind of like… ā€œwhy are you coming at me now?ā€ Lol I realized that with being sick and not having much energy for anything, i havent done much recovery related stuff either. I have prayed but not nearly as much as im used to. No meditation, no exercise, nothing. I have been sick but those addictive sneaky thoughts come at any time, they dont care. So back to the recovery routine i go. Glad to be feeling better. Juat praying that my son doesnt get worse :pray:
Hope everyone has been doing well. I will have to try and go back and read abit. Ive missed alot.

Day 264. Have been saving my money for a bike and we’ll I baught a lottery ticket which I know is not great, but I don’t buy them to often, anyways I won 100 dollars so I had 200 dollars for a bike. But I was excited and was impulsively scavenging the market place trying to find a bike. I was torn between two bikes or saving my money for something I really wanted. Why I felt I need a bike right now idk, but I ended up buying this. It’s a nice older style Gary Fisher, it’s a 2001 and I do like it, but it’s just not exactly my style I should of looked it over better and realized that it’s only 26 in wheels when I really need 29s. idk so I kind of have a regret for buying this when I should of saved my money and tried to find something I really want, but also part of me says well I didn’t need to save up and get me a top of the line bike for 1,000 dollars again anyways. Idk anyways here’s a pic of the new bike I got, It is super light and has some good qualities as well… just trying to fix this impulsive behavior because it can be dangerous, I’m glad I see it tho and acknowledge it.

You’re absolutely right, but in the short term I have to find a job immediately. I could probably make an afternoon meeting.

Day 0 :confused:

Not a whole lot to say. Just being really anxious about the future. Wanted to check in and say hello.
Hello! :v:

I like my numbers today :star_struck:
Had a weird dream about me in a pub surrounded by drinking people. I was not.
And suddenly I decided to tell all that people about me recovery, whether they liked it or not :face_with_peeking_eye:
Like I said: weird.
Today? Work.


Have a good monday all of you or good sleep if it’s the end of day :raising_hand_woman:
