Today was a perfect little getaway from my, becoming monotonous, life 
I love visiting this cute little town. So much to do! Iām just happy I woke up and got moving right away so we could have so much time there. And that Iām tired now, bc I have to work at 7:30 tomorrow 
Unusually early shift for me, but itās actually a memorial for my landlordās wife. She died 10 years ago and he asked me if I would work it. I thought that was nice of him. She was a good woman. Soā¦Iād better get to bed.

Thank you for asking @JazzyS but there is nothing a doctor can do to help.
My Eustachian tube in both ears isnāt working properly for my entire life. That gave multiple problems during my life. One of them is fluid behind the eardrums when I have a cold and that gives the hear loss. Sometimes that last for multiple months. There is nothing you can do about that then keeping your nose clear with nosespray

*Day 2101 
Quick check in.
Had a good day yesterday at work. Busy, but got everything done I had on my list.
My kids where home and we ate and chat a bit. I went to bed early because I was tired.
Today? Crossfit training, work, visiting a friend in the hospital, going by train to Rotterdam for a meet and greet with @acromouse and @Mno 
So a busy day ahead!
@KarenKW Iām sorry you arenāt feeling well. Peri menopause can give a lot of symptoms that are difficult to deal with. For me I found the peri part more difficult then the menopause itself.
There are herbs that can lighten up the symptoms, have you checked them out? I work in a pharmacy store. Maybe you can ask for a supplement? Things that can help are: sage, black cohosh, red clover, etc.
And hereās a big hug! 
Have a good day ore night all

Iām here, Iām alive Iām sober and Iām happy.
Day 113.
My allergies are crazy, despite the Rainy weather. Itās supposed to be better weather for today and tomorrow.
Going to the pharmacy today to pick up the strongest antihistamine medicine theyāve got without cortisone which Iām allergic too. Pills, eye drops and nose spray. Hope it helps, if Iām like this in Rainy weather I donāt want to know how itāll be if itās warm,dry and sunny. 
I do have an inhalator I should buy as well,but I wonāt because that one alone costs a minor fortune.
If it doesnāt help, I guess it is what it is. I refuse to stay inside all summer. Never had, never will.
Started to think about summertime memories this weekend. We passed a city that holds one of the biggest Pentecostal tent meeting events during the entire year, the boys Wondered what it was and I explained. Ever since that Iāve been in a nostalgic mood.
We had so much fun during the summers. Right after graduation we went to a church camp by a lake, went back home for about two weeks and then we went to the tent meeting week. Got back home for vacation with family and then another church camp right before school started.
Always amazing food, and we felt so free without any parents around. Of course we werenāt that free,there was grown ups everywhere and there was plenty of rules to follow, and a schedule. But it was a wonderful feeling anyway. One of the Best things with those camps was that they had sugar cereals and hot chocolate for breakfast.
We never had that at home, my father already had this idea that to much sugar and āfakeā food was bad for you. So he refused to buy āgroceriesā that contained sugar. Like sugar cereals, sweetened youghurt, white bread. Things like that.
Raised at a farm so it made since. He wasnāt all wrong either.
Church camp didnāt care though, and I guess we needed the energy
I also remember that there where a lot of preacherās and people from other countries during that tent meeting week. I especially remember a British one. He was a lot cooler than our rigid youth preacher
Enough with memory lane for today.
Wishing yāall a wonderful day

Happy Solstice everyone, whether youāre north or south ā¦ for me in the northern hemisphere itās sad the days will start getting shorter. Oh well. Will enjoy the day itself and the rest of the warm months.
Happy for you three, @acromouse @SoberWalker and @Mno ā¦
Have a wonderful time together ā¦ always nice to meet your Quit Peeps.
Best wishes to all for the best possible regardless of the situation(s) at hand.
Life can be difficult and have its challenges.
Sending love and good thoughts.
@Mindofsobermike havenāt read but bits and pieces. Should you get short of breath or chest pain, get help. Hope decreasing the dose made the difference. Havenāt seen all your comments. Take care.
