Woohoo pumpkin spiced is the best 
Me and my sister looks similar, we have different glasses. My nephew whoās 1,5 years old did the same yesterday when I took off my glasses. He sat with my husband and just turn his head back and forth looking to my sister (His Ma) and me.
Iām sure it was confusing just like it was for your nice. However it does come in handy when she needs a babysitter

Had an overnight trip to the beach with the family. Actually a typhoon was on its way, although in the end it changed direction and we had good weather, but perhaps because of that there was hardly anyone there, so very relaxing and peaceful. Lovely traditional Japanese meal (the aperitif was a vinegar drink rather than sake so I could drink it too!) and trip to a mini natural history museum the next day.
So today was a chilled day doing loads of washing. Chilled apart from when my daughter sliced the top of her finger off when cutting cucumber. It is a new slicer, so super sharp and blood was coming out quite briskly for several minutes. I was putting pressure on it googling how long it takes blood to stop if it not serious. It said 10 minutes and finally around 8 minutes it started to slow, and finally totally stopped at 15 minutes. Grateful I was alert and in the end all was well.

Day 179
I am exhausted in a good way. Itās raining and I have homemade caramel macchiato. Am I getting old? I think so. Feel like I need a rest day. All right then! Maybe Iāll get some energy later to put everything away and wash the one thousand four hundred fourteen grasshoppers off my car
Time to get creative in the kitchen. Itās all backup pantry food. Canned chili and pasta? Yeahhhh. No. Oh Iāll find something. I have frozen veggies to go with that rotini! Too tired to get in the car. Iām 99 today
Lots of love to you

Checking in with a headache and a bad mood after a pretty much sleepless night. I let myself get upset, well, actually really stupidly upset, at a meeting last night. I felt i was being criticized and questioned needlessly over something i put a lot of work into. Interestingly enough, the person doing the questioning was supposed to be helping me with this and didnāt do a damn thing. I kept it together at the meeting, but melted down on the way home, which then caused a fight with my husband. He doesnāt understand why i let things bother me so much. I wish i knew. I hate feeling like this. Iām a big ball of anxiety and anger and i hate it. I canāt stop rehashing it all in my head. Ugh!!

I like the imagery of a veil being lifted. At the same time it feels like scabs are slowly being peeled off which is a painful yet necessary part of healing. Thank you for the encouragement youāve given.

Checking in! 
I kicked my day off with a 9K walk. Met some ābuddiesā on my way;
After that I went to have breakfast at the āplazaā of my town!
Little kitten is doing well so far, sheās only been with me 24 hours, so sheās still settling in! The cutest thing ever, but arenāt they all?
I have agreed to meet a friend on Friday morning to have a coffee at my place, I keep working on my āhang out with friends phobiaā! Baby steps!

145 days sober
I woke up feeling refreshed and more myself. I went on a hike this morning and did a lot of what I call my crazy talking (talking to my dogs) during it. I felt cleansed after the exercise and saying outloud what I needed to get out of my head. Dogs really are the best listeners.
I was able to get a lot of work done afterwards. I have a 1st edit of the translation finished and had it distributed to several locals to read over and edit. It usually takes me a few edits to get the translation right. I also had another conversation with the potential volunteers and it went really well. They both want to come and have been given permission to make the trip on their end. I got a good vibe from them. Both seemed open and willing to visit a slightly uncomfortable place with an eagerness to teach about addiction recovery to social workers here starting from a very basic level. So now Iāll get more into planning this side of the project. Itās exciting seeing this project progress!

Day 65 - working hard at protecting my own peace. I have made great progress and need to remind myself of that, but I also feel that demon inside of me wanting to rear itās head. Working on focusing on the basics and spending time doing things that distract me from my addictions.
Not the easiest few weeks but I think this is what will separate this run at sobriety than all the times before
Wishing you all strength and peace

Checking in with 6 months today. I stayed awake to watch the counter change. I felt like watching the clock for New Years to come. I have AA meeting this morning then meet with sponsor. Step 4 has to be over soon . Would love today to be a kitchen day. Soup and peach cobbler on menu. Be happy my friends. Today is all we have.

Have someone on speed dial like a sponsor or close friend that you can call if you get the urge. I also stepped outside anytime the urge came. I stuck with Diet Coke all night and water.
Good luck!

Had a wonderful swim with my new swimming googles and some lanes of beautiful butterfly flow worked super easy.
There was a guy coming around that looked exactly like āthe pool guyā odysee man, some of you might know. Swimming in another location now, but itās only 35 km away. I struggled about diving away for a moment 
But then I noticed details on his legs and different equipment that it canāt be him.
So I turned my fins off to have some chilled lanes in the end and what happened?
He chatted me up and made compliment for my stroke. Okay. Thanks. Lol. But you remind me on something not so good
Love you guys
