Day 184, checking in.
I am trying to be as busy as possible and reminding myself I cannot do all the things I am doing if I am drinking. Motivation and energy are here, just need to keep guiding them in the right direction. Have a lovely day folks. One day at a time.

Day 23:
Different night last night, I actually fell asleep pretty quickly, but my body was determined to have the last laugh. 4:00 am, 2 hours before I need to be up, Iām wide awake. I was still so tired, but my brain was on the run! Ended up just getting the coffee going and got an early start to my day.
Work was work, my attitude and how I choose to let things affect me controls my whole day. Really working on staying positive, taking every situation as it comes and dealing with them in constructive ways and not negative ways. I will manage what I can manage, to the best of my abilities, and if itās beyond me, then Iām calling in reinforcements and handling problems with a team effort and not individually or personally. Refusing to take on any excess baggage or negative emotions! Not always easy, but Iām making it happen and Iām happier because of it.
Got off work around 3:00, washed my truck inside and out. The beard on my dashboard was thicker than mine from all the dust! Looks good now though. Actually went bowling with a friend tonight, had a blast. Played a basketball arcade game after and of course I let her win 
!
Loved just escaping the stress of life and act like a kid again! Felt even more amazing to be sober through all of it!
Off to wrestle with the sleep demons again. Good night sober friends!

Lobster night 
Something Iāve been suggesting for a while bc I donāt remember the last time we had one, and theyāre always a hit. It felt rushed and poorly planned. Justā¦eh. My boss decided to put a live lobster on ice on a platter so it was the first thing you saw when you walked in. I seriously thought she was joking when she said it. Hearing an old lady tell off my boss about it was pretty funny. Something told me that wasnāt a good idea 
Finally got my toilet fixed. After they broke the new handle they brought and had to go buy another. My landlord is starting to forget things. He asked me a few different questions that weāve already had conversations about. I can always smell alcohol on him no matter the time of day. Crazy how strong it smells when youāre not drinking.
I have to work in the morning which Iām not thrilled about but it is my mothers birthday so weāll be able to spend time together. I still have to get something. I got out pretty late tonight for a weeknight and wanted to already be in bed but I couldnāt wind down. Even waking up at 8 every day I still donāt feel ready for sleep until 2am. Iāve been getting 6hrs of sleep a night for a while now. Itās usually quality sleep but it feels like its starting to wear on me. Hopefully tomorrow night it will be easier.
Have a happy 24!

Work was good last night. I actually felt like a mental health nurse, and a fellow addict at the same time, having the time to talk for a good while with a couple of patients, about what recovery actually could look like for them. Most people in my care have little idea yet.
So that was nice. Got the day off today, now having my coffee and thinking what to do with my day. Not too much I guess. Autumn has arrived on my little square. Iāll do some house chores and cook myself a good meal. Talk to some friends. Stay sober and clean. That will do for today. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Love.

Great news! Cholesterol is Def something you can work on everyday and that feels so empowering! Well done on getting checked out, knowledge is power and lifts the cloak to worry.

My last cat board arrives tomorrow and itās one of my babiesā¦I have cared for her since she was about 3 months old and first came in heat (ever done a hot water bottle for a cat 
). Sheās a cute soul and itās made me a bit sad.
I fully expect to have two adopted kittens within six months, watch this spaceā¦ Me and my other half keep mentioning getting some then saying no then smirkingā¦ 
Feeling pretty good today. Want to do a run at lunch carrying on the second week of my C25k training. Then swimming and a second run tomorrow. Have a nice chilled weekend, want to get out in nature at least for a massive long walk this weekend, itās overdue.
Have a good one all.
