So that’s where the decent weather is then, the Netherlands… It’s rained non stop here for at least 24 hours.

#Day 2048 
Enjoyed Kingsday yesterday. Visitit a small touristic village nearby where we discovered a big cruiseship filled with tourists from abroad enjoying “our” Kingsday. It was fun seeing them wandering around the little village seeing the village people having fun with the festivaties. A tourist said to me: “I love to see you are all so patriotic!!” It made me laugh out loud when she was gone (sorry) because we are not. But we Dutch people love to have a party and a day off
Maybe I smash some of you’re idea’s about Dutch people too 
When we walked by that cruise ship we saw the staff all dressed up in old traditional Dutch costumes
But the tourists had fun, that is what counts.It’s funny to see this at the other side. When I am on holiday abroad and I go see a flamingo show for instance, some Spanish girl thinks “those tourists do strange things”
Today? A walk somewhere and no plan’s made so far.
Have a good day all!!

@PositiveThoughts That list idea is brilliant! I’m gonna try it 
It does feel great to cross everything off a list, but I feel bad when the list doesn’t get any smaller. I usually think to myself “At least you got the litter boxes cleaned 
” to make myself feel better(can’t skip that one). When it comes to getting things done, my approach could use a tune up.

I am SO glad I don’t work til Wednesday! Tonight was a repeat of last night 
Yesterday there were 4 servers/2 bussers and we covered 85 people. That really shouldn’t be alot to handle. It was bc there was no organization on the floor by our manager and we were all dealing with tables being pissed off by how long the food was taking bc the kitchen is clueless without the chef.
Tonight there were 2 servers/2 bussers/1 trainee and 75 diners + a dozen togos. Training someone on the weekend is already difficult, let alone a short staffed, busy night. Our manager actually took over training and helped her take tables, letting us hold the rest of the fort down. This girl has never served before, and it was her second day, and she fucking crushed it! Glad we found somebody good It actually turned out to be a pretty successful night (by comparison). I walked out with 6x as much as last night 
I needed to go straight to Walmart before it closed. When I realized I was walking by the beer section I thought “Huh? 
Nothing about that appeals to me.” Crazy. By the time I was finally settled in, it was 1am! I’m beat 
Tomorrow my friend is borrowing her man’s truck so we can pick up some old, abandoned furniture in an apartment buildings basement. Another day of hard labor There’s a desk I want for my daughter’s room that she’s really excited about. Hopefully that will help motivate me to get things organized in order to put it in it’s place 
Now I need food before bed. Have a good night everyone

Day 7…a week ago, I drank. I knew before I did that it was going to happen. It was my birthday and we were on holiday abroad. There are still some things that I associate too greatly with alcohol (esp. holidays). Now we are home, it feels easier to disassociate. There’s the lesson!
Work is hard this week. I gave my staff pay rises but they all seemed ungrateful about them. It is really playing on my mind, affecting my sleep, making me feel sad and angry. No one was promised anything, and (old person comment alert) there seems to be this real self-entitlement from the younger staff, that they expect promotions and pay rises everyday without putting the work in. It’s a new struggle for me to navigate. I’m letting if get to me badly.
Have a great Sunday.

89 days AF 
I feel very released that the apartment is handed over finally!
The day was realy nice yesterday, was at a optician in a city on the way, that is quite sweet. Old alleys and cobblestones… Was in a very nice café… mood was very nice and calm there. Think I will go back again as they also have a regional market every week. And one of the outdoor pools is located there too (can’t wait until they all open lol)
Love you guys

Finally one week without overeating
Yesterday was the last day of my antibiotics treatment and today I’m still feeling the side effects. I hope they will pass with the day. I don’t care for neither the digestive stuff nor for headaches, vertigo, anxiety, depression or confusion 
I want to do my weekly review today, take a walk, easy sick people yoga. That’s basically it.
Stay in peace, in love, and in freedom everyone

My advice would be to visit a small village! Like I was in Willemstad yesterday. You will feel the vibe without the crowd.
I was with my samba band (I used to play in) in Amsterdam on a Kingsday years ago. It was sooo crowded that it became dangerous sometimes to get crused. Really! 
Never again!

Went to the gym and got some rounds in. I think thats part of why I was so frustrated the other day was that I didn’t want an injury to stop me doing the activities that are helping me mentally. My mood was much improved after getting punched in the face a few times
Had a plan to take my eldest to the movies this arvo, turned out to be a bust as she was sick with a stomach bug type thing. Currently laying on the floor next to her bed playing some music to help her sleep. Grateful to be sober and able to fully be there for her when she needs.
