Today is a day. I would much rather be home than at work right now. Im tired and i kept my husband up aswell with my coughing last night. I dont know what the coughing is all about.
But im at work. The day itself is okay tho. Just need to push thru the next 4.5 hours.
Oh and then i get a text from our nurse for tonight amd shes not well so cant make the overnight shift with my son. So that means that i need to do it. Not thrilled about that as i have a body scan and personal training session tmrw but im taking an āit is what it isā approach. Id rather her stay home than get my son sick honestly. Im tired of mentally getting worked up/drained over these shifts not being covered. So i just stop fighting it. The serenity prayer comes in handy, which ive been using alot lately:
God grant me the serenity to accept the things i can not change (people, places, things and situations)
The courage to change the things i can (me and my reaction)
And the wisdom to know the difference
So ya i hope i have enough energy for tmrws gym appt. Its my monthly body scan and then a free personal training appt. Other than that im not doing much else. So i can rest afterwards hopefully. Hope everyone is enjoying their day!!

Second check-in for today with a public service announcementā¦.
Be careful when you order non alcoholic beverages at restaurants. I donāt drink NA beverages for several reasons but my wife ordered one today and the waitress brought her a real beer instead.
The wife took one sip and realized the serverās mistake. Fortunately, she still drinks occasionally so it wasnāt the end of the world. My advice would beā¦ be cautious and always ask the server when they put it down on the table to make sure they brought the NA beverage you actually ordered.

Day 350. Getting close to a year.
Iām starting to think that the seasons changing is making me nostalgic for time I spent doing things I donāt want to do anymore. Hind sight through rose colored glasses I suppose.
Overcoming cravings will be my new favorite hobby.
I hope everyone has a good day.

And thatās why I always order beer in bottles, no glass needed 
Might be different in different countries but here you pretty much always get tappers or bottle choices on the meny.
I always go for the bottles, that way I donāt get anything Iām allergic to, and nothing with alcohol.
Donāt care if itās not classy. Iām drinking from that bottle anyway.

Excellent PSA 
I mentioned this situation a few months ago when it happened to me at work. A young server ordered drinks for her table and I made them exactly how she asked. After she delivered them she realized one older woman ordered an Arnold Palmer (iced tea/lemonade) and not the John Daly (vodka/iced tea/lemonade) that I made for her. She asked āshould I go switch it?ā And Iām like āYes! You have to!ā Itās a common drink thatās known to be non-alcoholic so thatās what was expected. But it isnāt just a case of them possibly being a sober person. Some people canāt have alcohol for medical reasons and Iād hate to feel responsible if someone had a bad reaction. I donāt even order mocktails when Iām out, but if I did, Iād have to watch the bartender make it to be sure.

Yea exactly! I was thinking the same thingā¦that could be a potentially disastrous mistake because Iām sure most people who order the NA beverages are sober or canāt have alcohol for medical reasons like you said. Either way, it could really have dangerous repercussions.

Day 93 and Day 1 of my road trip. Made it to the hotel after a looong delay only 45 minutes from the end. Surprise severe weather with flooding and big hail. I had just barely made it to some ghost town that happened to have a car wash with bays and a roof! The sky turned green and it started flooding. Then, hail. And somehow there was a magical car wash!
Now Iām in the middle of nowhere at a hotel, on a nice cool night in another state with a cheeseburger. Glad I came north despite the drama. Oh and Iām driving the speed limit now with my out of state plates. Now I can slow down. I havenāt had a chance to take pictures but will start tomorrow.
Not a thought of drinking. Not even when I was trapped in the car wash. I just had to wee very badly. Adventure!
