Day 50:

Another pretty much sleepless night, another crazy work day. Got another workout in and already in bed.

Thankful to be sober.

First early shift in a while (or so it feels) coming up. I do feel better rested than previous days. Although I dreamed lots. Last one left me anxious, I had a night shift with my previous job and I went home to sleep during my shift because I was so tired. Woken up by a call from my colleague I tried to get dressed and hurry over to work until I realized it was no use, it was too late now, I was found out, how could I just leave and go home?

Interesting new way of feeling inadequate :thinking: instead of my usual imposter syndrome which I seem to have laid to rest, at least partly, in the last months. Well. On we go. I’m going to have as good a day as I can and hope you will do the same. Sober and clean. Love. Picture is the place where my sis and me had lunch for my birthday the other day.

@Juli1 Oh my, my friend. I am sooo sorry. One of the worst hurts you will ever have. Big hugs and lots of thoughts and love for you as you go through this hard time. Here for you in your time of sadness and grief.

@Juli1 sending you a huge hug. I’m so sorry for your loss.
@Mno I have not mailed you anything yet. We downsized to one car and I have not been to the post office. It will show up when you least expect it, so any day other than your birthday. I hope your actual day was full of love and peace.

This is our first week as a one car family and so far I am loving walking and biking to work. It takes less time than driving and I get to see the sun. We’ll see how I feel about it when I am trudging through Iowa snow in February. I’m hopeful, and obstinate. My husband made a comment about how I’ll tire of this and beg for the use of the car so my lips are sealed. :zipper_mouth_face:
Some may call that the beginning of a resentment. I call it good old stubborn motivation. Still sober. I hope you are too.

Today was good. I went back to sleep for a while after my daughter left and woke up fully energized! I did some lite cleaning and then my nails.

We hadn’t gone to the library in ages so I thought we should. Stayed there until our pizza and subs were ready to pick up, then my friend came over with her new puppy bc my daughter hadn’t met him yet. The cats were not fans of his :rofl:

She left to take groceries to our other friend whose father passed away last night. I spoke with her and she was a wreck. She lost her mother last year and has gotten out of control with drinking and cocaine. There’s been times I’ve had to walk away from her bc it was too much for me to be around. I pray I’m able to be there for her now :pray:

Back to work in the morning. I kinda look forward to it bc my body is so used to moving non stop and never sitting down for hours. Now that we’ve reduced our hours for the winter, I feel like I’m rusting. Goodnight everyone :heart:

I used a enzymes complex from the brand Metagenix. But many brands sell enzym complex. The important thing is that there has to be a enzym in it that helps with the digest of fat. And that is Lipase. So find one with that in it.

Glad for you you haven’t have to wait long. I had :disappointed_relieved: all surgery was postponed because of Covid.

Checking in sober.
Had 1 hour of sleep.

I will drive to my parents house soon.
My brother will also be there…
And mum of course.
I have the possibility to c my dad again,
he is still just napping in his bed.
Think that will be good.
I will ask him what the hell he is doing! :black_heart:

I saw him making jokes all night.
That was one of his things. Humor.

Things to manage and organise.
Calls.
But we are not alone.

Doing my things.
Morning routine, shower.

I read a poem last weeks, if you have hard times, do a little bit of your things. Brush teeth, do laundry, cook soup. Rest. And do a bit again. I will do so.

Much love :black_heart::pray::heart::heart::heart:

And thank you kind peops all for your sweet wishes and thoughts!

Our messages here just crossed.
Want to say you sound good besides the circumstances. For your dad it is a soft leaving the earth, but for you all it’s a big bang.
Take good care for yourself and a save drive to your parents house :heavy_heart_exclamation:

Checking in on day 374.

Doc has upped my meds and had a better sleep last night, still feel absolutely exhausted though.

Need to give myself a bit of a shake today (and plenty coffee) to get through a day in the office before heading to the local church to carry my Uncle’s body in before his funeral tomorrow morning.

It’ll be a tough next couple of days, but I have no inclination at all to drink. More about how to fend off the anxiety.

I am sorry for your loss, sounds like it will be an emotional few days. Here if you need to talk :people_hugging: I hope the funeral goes well. Anxiety is a really tough one when there is a very good reason for it. Take care of yourself x
