@MrsOdh oh I’m glad they were able to sort that out and your son can go🙏🏽
@anon10035965 glad to hear the gel and ibuprofen are helping. Hopefully all better very soon
@Jesile ah I hate those days cause you don’t know why you are out of sorts …I do think it has something to do with our dreams/nightmares that we don’t remember but the sensation lingers. Hope your day gets better. Love the name Peanut for your kitty
@Lefty624 way to go with 70 days 🎊🎉 sorry you have Covid… grateful you are in the tail end. Hope you feel better soon
@Laner ah big hugs my friend. I would also be speechless in your situation. Sorry the greeting drudged up these memories/ emotions. I really don’t have an answer of how to respond. Here for you in support and hope that with therapy this all gets easier for you ❤ 🙏🏽 there is no time like or time limit on grief. You grieve in your own way love 🫂
@Tragicfarinelli congratulations on finally submitting that application and sending good luck vibes your way…hope you get this job 🤞🏽🙏🏽. I have found that I am procrastinating more lately and really am working on setting a schedule and getting things done. The more time I have the more I tend to procrastinate. When I was busy things just got done and on time:joy:
Afternoon check in…
Feeling so tired. My back and stomach are both in pain so I’m going to try and stretch / lie down. I did a slow walk this morning but the hilly parts really did not help any. Now gonna rest and see where the day leads.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day… sending you all so much love ❤❤

Yep @JazzyS I’ve been dragging my ass too…when I was rushed off my feet I got six million things done a day and didn’t blink over it. Time to get shit done again and push myself out my comfort zone.

Good morning (my time). I was just thinking about the question you get about your family. Maybe just say my loving pets are doing great and my toilet sometimes glows in the dark.
Just trying to add some humor to your day!

Checking in day 184
My planting from yesterday was repot some seedlings into bigger pots. I had 5 pots. Today all 5 have been knocked over and all dirt removed.
Alas I will see if I can salvage any plants.
I have AA this morning. Tomorrow Hubby and I have road trip to Utah from California for a funeral. My theory and staying positive what better couples therapy being stuck in the car with our dog for 12 hours.

Day 10
After a couple of much easier days. Today was more tricky.
I was a bit moody and found myself thinking about wine a lot.
Going for a walk in a minute to take my mind off things.

Checking in during my lunch break. Feeling so much better today. All that anger and anxiety i was carrying around since Monday evening has dissipated. I thought i needed to be alone, but it turns out i started feeling better once I quit avoiding people.
I’m leaving for vacation in a little over a week. I’m really looking forward to some beach time.

Checking in.351 SAF / 337 no smokes. Haven’t been feeling all that hot the last couple days, and found out today I have COVID. (Fucking COVID). Explains a lot though cause I been really extra tired and losing my wind quick, whenever I try and do anything. Plus this pounding headache. I see the doc later today anyways, and I’m off work today and tomorrow, so I’ll just lay around. I’m sure it’ll pass quick. Have a good day guys ✌💚

Sorry you got covid Joe.
I just got over it myself. I wasn’t bad. Just a little gunky and ya tired. 5 days later I tested negative. My wife got it. Not too bad but she can’t seem to shake it. Same symptoms but she’s still testing positive. The lovely friend that gave it to us she was just tired a lot. She got over after a short spell too. Hopefully yours won’t last long either.
🙏🏻❤

Congratulations on day 10 AC
Walking is a great idea. I use to plug in Eminem and do an angry power walk twice a day. I was so pissed off and just couldn’t stop romanticizing the wine. I think I was more angry I couldn’t stop thinking about it rather than the fact I can’t drink it. Cuz we all know what happens after that first one. Walk your ass off friend. And a nice long hot shower.
We got your back
🙏🏻 😻

Hmmm, you got me thinking there! I did dream last night, and I remember some parts of it (I sometimes do, usually a whole lot of BS), but maybe that had something to do with my bad vibes. Anyhow, this afternoon I went to the pool for a while, and after that I finally went for my walk, and those 2 things lifted my mood! And then there is little Peanut! He’s so funny, right now he’s chasing Moka all the time because he thinks he can catch a good dinner, and Moka is not into a little baby chasing him for his tits! 🤣🤣

Ah hell… sorry Joe. I hope the symptoms aren’t bad and you are able to feel better and rest negative quickly. Do take care of yourself and take the time to recover 🙏🏽
Sending healing vibes your way 🤗
