Your not cliche man and Iā€™m sorry for the way I have acted. This isnt what I thought was gonna happen. I wanted college and I wanted the better life. Iā€™m scared, Iā€™m mad I donā€™t know what to do. I donā€™t care about myself. Iā€™m upset for my girls they donā€™t deserve this

Friday night 32 check in.

I did it.

I left work early for myself, no shits given.
Did my week 3 run 1 C25k
LOVED my swim afterwards, left all the negatives of the week in that pool, right there. :swimming_man:

Came back and made lobster and crab linguine with capers and lemon and fennel. Watching my lionesses now in the Olympic qualifiers.

Life improves when you hang on tight, even if you are taking just the tiniest steps forward.

Thanks for the encouragement all,much love :kissing_heart:

Thank you so much, you always seem to really get me. You are spot on with the always trying to go back as soon as I have any energy (or stress). Today I balanced it well, nap and the gym. I am going to try and spend more time in balance I think. Thank you :blush:

Checking in, 43 days.

I have my snore and peace tea, curled up in bed with a book (and Spurs are winning, and top of the league!) All is right with my world right now :blush:

I hope everyone has a peaceful, sober evening.

Haha, the Velvetiser hot chocolate just called out to meā€¦ And I answeredā€¦ :coffee:.

I feel a million dollars compared to before. My body and mind crave exercise I think.

What book are you reading? Enjoy!

Sounds amazing :yum:

Well I will be reading ā€˜The History of the Countrysideā€™ by Oliver Rackham, but atm I am reading about the VAR decision at Crystal Palace. Need to step away reallyā€¦we still won and I donā€™t play Fantasy football so it makes zero difference to my life :rofl:

Thinking of you. Can I give you a laugh?
My Dad had had a stroke and my sister was texting me updates as I anxiously hovered by the phone. She meant to say ā€œDad passed his swallow testā€ but the banner only displayed ā€œDad passedā€.
I had to ask her to choose he leading words more carefully. Sending healing vibes your way.

Idk what it is but Iā€™m feeling very blah today. Woke up exhausted. Had a crazy busy lunch shift. I donā€™t even know how I got through it. Then I just couldnā€™t wait for my daughter to go with her dad so I could sit here alone. I should have done more with the second half of my day but I really didnā€™t have the will to.

Tomorrow is our childrenā€™s trunk-or-treat party and we are supposed to dress up as Winnie the Pooh characters. Everyone got a character and were supposed to get/make a costume. I got Kanga, mostly bc I love kangaroos and Iā€™m a mom, but what in the hell am I supposed to wear?! The boss said ā€œget ears and a tailā€ā€¦okay, wish me luck. Other years if a group costume was chosen it wasnā€™t our responsibility to buy or make one. There are only 18 kids signed up and 10 of us working! We arenā€™t being reimbursed and wonā€™t be making any money off it so the whole thing has left a sour taste in my mouth. Which is sad bc I usually love Halloween. Iā€™m about to show up in my witch costume! :rofl: but seriously, idk what Iā€™m going to do.

Iā€™m gonna watch something funny to try and get out of this funk. Then get to bed early bc that could be part of it. Ugh. I hope tomorrowā€™s a better day :pray:
