Today is supposed to be a chill day. Looking forward to coding all day long :grin: Really want to crush this one stupid bug. It probably has something to do with wrong signalling order.

We have been invited to a birthday party this evening. The host is a very thoughtful vegan chef and I am looking very much forward to the buffet :blush:. Usually I would be wary of the food at a party but this one should be safe.

My addiction is singing the song of ā€œitā€™s not that bad, you are blowing this out of proportion, why are you spending all this time with those addicts, you donā€™t belong there, these people have serious problems, you are an impostor, start doing something usefulā€¦ā€

Nah, not falling for it today. Peace to yā€™all :peace_symbol:

Day 14

Going to bed too late is taking itā€™s toll. I need to sort that out. Grateful that I am staying up late knitting and not drinking but still. By the time I finish work, make dinner, go to a meeting, have a bath or shower and tidy up a bit it is already about 9pm. I pick up the knitting and I think I am pushing myself to try and get as much done as I can. I need to slow down and enjoy the craft rather than rush for the finished object.

I think I lost ability to cry. Itā€™s so weird. Maybe I reached a limit of tears in my life already?
After my parents death I noticed that itā€™s very difficult to make me sad. I donā€™t cry when Iā€™m sad. Even if someone die, I feel sad but I donā€™t cry. I was crying a lot when I was extremely tired first 2 years when twins were born. I didnā€™t sleep much and I cried almost every day. Then I was crying after fight with my husbandā€™s, when I was feeling hopeless and unfair. Or when kids were extremely annoying and I lost my shit and was mean to them (sometimes Iā€™m talking stupid things to them I very much regret later).
Since some time, I would say maybe a month, I noticed I canā€™t cry anymore. Even if I want to. Its not that I donā€™t have a reason. I feel all emotional and shaky but from outside Iā€™m like a stone. Now Iā€™m home alone, I had vary bad morning with kids, I want to cry and scream in a pillow, let it out, but I canā€™tā€¦ I feel like emotions are eating me from inside but I have some blockage I canā€™t let it out.
Wellā€¦
At least Iā€™m sober.

Day 1,307 clean and sober today. Work has been so stressful. The new guy I trained went to graveyard shift yesterday so Iā€™m back to working by myself again. Itā€™s freaking wearing me out. Just because I can do everything doesnā€™t mean itā€™s right. I am looking into different options for work.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day today, love you guys :sunglasses::metal:t2:

Day 57. After work yesterday went and got my cream horns and some other food. Got home ate and relaxed, watched a movie with a game or two of call of duty. My mind is in obsessive mode lately and I canā€™t shut my mind off at night. Finally fell asleep but tossed and turned all night, didnā€™t even feel like I slept. We were supposed to have some really bad winds and storm but when I got outside this morning it was just raining and super slushy on top of heavy snow. No side walks cleared so I just hit the middle of the road. I could of called a Uber, but honestly I feel more alive just being out in the weather and taking what comes my way. Finally got to work and I was soaked, but grateful I made it and can chalk another day to the work calendar. Iā€™ve been here a month now and Iā€™m super proud I havenā€™t called out. Any other time by now I would of called out probably atleast 3 times. I tried calling the hospital Monday and nobody called me back. I called the girl I interviewed with and yeah nothing returned, I called the recruiter yesterday in Vermont who is supposed to actually hire me and Iā€™ll see if she calls me back. You know itā€™s funny when I applied for the job the interviewer was like you canā€™t miss 2 days within a year or youā€™ll be fired. Itā€™s pretty cool you can put that type of worry over my head that I have to be at your dispose but canā€™t even have the decency to call me back. Honestly not even sure if they are a company I want to work for at this point. Much love everyone.

Day 13/14.

Keeping on. Went for a run at 11.30 am as an act of defiance against the regime, and in support of my own mental health. :rofl:

Feeling better, lots of intrusive thoughts in my head and brain and the act of repetitive moving exorcised it.

Another day. Stay strong.

Morning guys. Checking in Day 119 SAF and 105 smoke free. We had some crazy storms blow through yesterday and last night so works gonna be a MoFo today, with all the flooding, down trees and power outages. Donā€™t care though, last day before Iā€™m off for two. I plan on just trying to rest this weekend. Someone told me once.
Never ride faster, than your guardian angel can fly. I always thought about it, when Iā€™m on the motorcycle, but I think it works just as well for life and sobriety. Slow the fuck down people, take a breather, and go at your own pace. Youā€™re all doing great. We got this. :love_you_gesture::green_heart:

I am sorry for your loss. I send my condolences to both you and your wife. I hope that beyond the positive of you remaining sober that this also strengthens the bond between yourself and your wife.
