Checking in daily to maintain focus #60

Checking in on Day 55. Wow, really pleased with my progress, they stack up quicker than you think they will.

Rainy day here so still drinking coffee in bed. Luckily I am working from home. Life has changed now the kids can take themselves to school.

I kind of can’t be bothered with anything today but not that tired so hoping once I start work I will lose myself in it. Yesterday the phones were insane, hard to do any of my other work answering queries. I am definitely an email person, prefer to prioritise that way rather than someone distracting me and jumping the queue.

Have a good day everyone.

Thank you @SoberWalker I will look into that. So sorry Covid got in the way of your treatment, must have been a really hard time waiting so long.

Thankyou very much, the whole process has been very odd. I’ve spoken to my recruiter and he’s put me forward for another couple already, hopefully people that mean something serious this time!

@Juli1 Im so sorry to hear of your loss.

Checking-in for yesterday…

Had a better-than-usual day yesterday. Was awake early, managed to do my lake walk, have a bath, and attend the online course.

The course was horrendous. A couple of the students just would not stop talking, left themselves unmuted and wasn’t taking turns to speak, or the hints from the tutors that it was time to move on so they could get through the session.

I then needed to collect my NRT products but I can’t drive in the dark and it was already getting dark, so I messaged my Dad and he was heading this way anyway, so he grabbed them for me, I’m so grateful, as it is not safe for me to drive in the dark.

Then yesterday evening I went out Bowling with Safe Soulmates, it was nice enough, none of us spoke to each other, but it was still fun, my taxis were expensive but it was still a cheaper night than the before times, by a mile!

Day 22. Happy hump day. Woke up at 4 so im not sure how im feeling yet haha. Apparently the alcoholic puffyness has started to go down. Ive had multiple comments about how ive lost weight. Ive never been a person eith a lot of extra weight but I know I could stand to drop some and apparently I am. I’ve actually been needing to use a belt so something good is happening on that front.

The special event last night went well. All the attendees loved the class. There were beverages afterward at the reception but I kept to my tea and was very content.

Ok time to get ready for my daily early online meeting. Have an awesome sober day my friends. I may pop back on once I’m awake haha.

So I gave out a homework assignment

One of our apprentices bought an old cop car, Chevy Caprice PPV, aka a Holden Commodore for our friends down under. I went with him last night to pick it up cause we had to trailer it back.

I referenced Blues Brothers when I said cmon let’s get the news Blues Mobile home, he’s like what???

Fuuuuckkk I’m getting old and said he has to watch the movie
