Day 342.
Iām trying to decide whether to bake today and clean tomorrow, or clean today and bake tomorrow. In reality, I canāt be arsed with either activity but needs must and all that jazz.
I plan on making 2 gluten/lactose/sugar free options for my mom and my husband (sheās lactose and gluten free, heās sugar-free, both for health reasons). For years, family get-togethers have bugged me as I kept watching certain family members bringing stuff my mom canāt have and pushing them on her. Like this one time, my aunt tried talking her into trying the apple pie, itās just apples, apples are good for youā¦ completely disregarding that she uses a shed load of flour in the mix. Itās hard to watch, really. Itās not hard to show a tiny bit of consideration.
At the last family thing, someone brought deviled eggs. My mom loves delived eggs. The bitch added fucking yoghurt to them. She never put yoghurt in the deviled eggs before. Why now, when she knows my mom canāt have yoghurt? Itās either ignorant or extremely petty, and Iām not sure which option is worse. My mom is a sweetheart and she deserves better treatment from the wicked witches of eastwick.
In lieu of that, Iām gonna make one hell of a point this Christmas by baking something delicious she can actually eat.

Day 38, didnāt get to check in yesterday, just was kind of busy. But yesterday was good. I had a scare because I went to take money off the ATM and it took my money. The bank wouldnāt help me, but luckily the money eventually went back on my card. This morning was good said my prayers and gratitude still feeling pretty peaceful and happy. This medicine is also supposed to help with pain and lately I havenāt noticed any of the back pain or tension in my neck. I still have trouble reading everyoneās post itās so over whelming for me. But I wanted to say I am so proud of all of you on double digits, one week, Thirty days, or even day on. And a bit shout out to @JazzyS on the one year mark. Iām so proud of you, and thank you for always lifting my spirits up. Yesterday I did buy myself a Xbox and TV. There were some other things I could of got instead now I am broke till next pay day. But Iām always so bored and nothing to do with my mind, Ive never really had a problem with gaming or anything but I figured it would be nice to do something to keep me occupied. Iām not mad at myself for getting it, I see it as keeping myself safe. Today is my Friday so I plan to do a little gaming this weekend. The girls from church keep calling me and Iāll be honest I just donāt want to talk to them, i liked the church but I donāt really want to be apart of it. But they will literally call me like three times right in a row. Idk itās just a little annoying. But much love everyone have a wonderful Friday

Is there any particular reason you wonāt go? Did you have a bad experience with one in your area? Or are you worried about putting yourself out there? Not judging at all. Just curious. Iām glad you keep coming back though. Just go ODAAT

Iād never heard of Elf of the Shelf either until my daughter started elementary school. I avoided getting one until her 2nd grade teacher had one in the classroom and she kept asking why she didnāt have one at home. Well, we do now

Just checking in, 3.5 day weekend. Iām hoping my boss sends an email at noon saying, ALRIGHT EVERYONE, HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
Family has been under the weather for 2.5 months. Kids now in school, just sharing sicknesses, spreading it to mom and dad. Took my son to urgent care yesterday, itās been alot. 3 weeks before we head to mexico for a week, i just want everyone feeling better. Mentally, itās been a real war lately. At work, mentally, I HAVE NOTHING. Like i need some kind of focus medication or something, but i just feel mentally i just stand here at my desk. I dont know. I need to actually plan my day and stick to a plan. WEāll get there, eventually.

Do not be fooled. Thatās only 1/4 of the fridge. It doesnāt show where the mulberry jam somehow leaked down the door and left a blood clot looking blob I havenāt felt like cleaning up for a week 
Or the ābutterā drawer overflowing with condiment packets that will never get used

I hope everyone is well. These days are miraculous given the slime Iāve been trudging through for the past couple of years. Iām so grateful to be sober because I cannot imagine where I would be right now if I were still drinking. Iād either be under a park bench with my buddies downstairs, or I would be married to some asshole I met on a dating app lol.

Third Holidays sober. Itās not the best of Holidays. Although we have had a lot of fun. Drinking will not make it better. Iām sure it will make things worse. Iām so happy drinking is not even an option anymore. Iām grateful for the Christmas season I am having. Sober. And nice.
Keep up the good fight yāall. Itās so worth it.
Happy Christmas Happy Holidays and Happy Festivus for the rest of us.
