146 days sober
It was a typical day here. Morning hike and exercise, working on the translation project and did my usual chores. I wrapped up the plans for the Dutch doctor that will come to town next week and have everything set up for him. And I was happy to hear his wife will also come. I’m looking forward to that. Also can’t wait to be able to take off this arm brace and have both of my arms to use again! It’s so annoying here feeling limited in what I can do and needing help with the most basic things when the most basic things are already challenging to do when in normal physical condition. Hope everyone else is having a good sober day!

@Tyland I’m sorry for the rollercoaster of emotions. I know how hard they can be to deal with. Grateful you were able to get yourself feeling better. Hope changing your number does help reduce stress
@acromouse oh I like this change and new mindset. I know you have good intentions and are putting in 100% effort in mindful eating. 
I am sending so much healing soothing energy your daughter’s way.
@Here.I.am welcome back Kelly. Freelance sounds like fun and I hope it’s a good fit. Slowing down has given me the chance to start healing - hope it’s the same for you
@Mischa84 oh I’m so glad you are enjoying your new job. They say being around kids does keep you young

Have enjoyed a lovely morning sitting on the deck listening to instrumental jazz and reading with my hot coffee. Glad I was able to enjoy before the rain came. Going to have lunch with Mom and aunt. Play the day by ear…didn’t sleep well last night and am trying to fight the urge to stay in bed
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day… sending you all so much love

Checking in with 143 days sober.
Been feeling very lethargic lately. It’s the opposite of how I usually am, always keeping busy. Got most of the things done that I wanted to yesterday but it took a lot of pushing on my part. Hope this passes. It’s weird.
I’ll stay sober today. Looking forward to hitting 5 months.

Second check in today again.
Starting to think that I live in Idiot county.
My 14 y/o year is going to Stockholm with school in a few weeks. His biological father who is supposed to sign the papper to let him go can’t be reached. Not by us, not by school, not by authorities, they even sent him an online approval he haven’t cared to sign.
If he doesn’t sign our 14 y/o won’t be able to go. So now me and the school are trying to get a way around it.
I don’t understand why this lost sock still has custody. It’s amazingly stupid.
That’s all Folks

Checking in 183… Slept well finally. Already up, ran dog, fed dog put in some office work and now soon off to AA Meeting. Strange feelings…I keep thinking I have too much to do and may skip AA today. I believe this is some “bad juju” trying to F*ck Me Up. I have no cravings and feel great. What is up with that? I love AA and can get my stuff done eventually. My hubby commented I have no sense of urgency for the tasks he wants done. Well maybe he is right but everything is not URGENT. My sobriety (AA Meetings) and health (gym time) is however the most important tasks for me today. I know balance is the key… Did not get into kitchen yesterday another of my desires that makes me happy. By early evening yesterday I was actually exhausted. I have some gardening to do which also is a Happy Task. Once the important deeds are done I can’t find the energy to do what I want…anyway… striving for progress not perfection.
Love to you all.

Hey there 
If you enjoy meetings with meditations I recommend trying some Recovery Dharma meetings. They usually include a meditation.

I went for a walk this morning, too late… as always!! 
I got home almost by noon, way too hot!
My mom came over for lunch, and we spent some nice time together. Yesterday it has been 3 months since my dad past away, but she seemed happy. She was all busy making plans with friends for BBQ, playing tennis etc… this lady has more social life than I do! 
(not too hard either, to be honest…) I’m so happy for her! I also helped set up a smart watch that my dad used to wear, it’s almost new, and now she’s all excited about counting her steps, and how many calories she’s burned, and that she receives her WhatsApp on her watch! 
Other than that, not much to report! Feeling at peace with myself right now!

I think I just came up with a new business idea. I’m going to house sit. And pet sit. I’ve had so many local people tell me they are looking for this. Boarding is expensive, and a neighbor that does this at your house might just work. I’ve been networking. Don’t want to go back to an office job full-time. I have a clean record and references. Hmmmm. 
. I’m a sole prop kinda lady. Not the corporate type at all. I’ve been an accountant, a counselor and an IT system administrator. Lots of shifts there. I know how to start up a business, tax-wise and keep books. I will create a world-wide house/ pet sitting empire!! . Or just a local one…hehehe
I’m going to keep talking to people. Maybe I’ll sell houses, who knows? Considering my real estate license. My neighbor is also a single lady who quit her job and got hers. I’m just about ready to ramp up again. Life is getting better after 6 months, so much better

Day 927
Last night was rough as we had no care for my son. So i ended up doing the awake overnight shift instead. But the school mtg went well 
We met a bunch of new people (new teacher, new school nurse for my son, new principal). Everyone was sooo friendly and knowledgeable. I feel really good about the way things were set up for this year. Only uneasy part for me is the bus nurses as they will be changing quite often. So ill have to get used to that and trust their abilities.
I am excited for getting back to routine Tmrw mrng once my son gets on the bus, I have to take a cab to grab my sons supplies from the hospital, and then ill be off to the gym!!! Im sooo excited Its been a minute since ive had a really good workout.
Just putting my boy to bed now and then I can relax and hopefully get a good rest tonight. Have a great evening everyone

Oh my goodness I am exhausted! Just burnt to a little crisp over here. Had myself feeling unappreciated today, but truth is Im just beat and hubby starting his new job is a big change.
Having issues with my daughter being rude and my patience is thin. Im snapping instead of guiding. Dear Lord bring me some patience tomorrow, the little Miss deserves it.
Xo everyone. Missing you guys and looking forward to things calming down a bit so I have more energy xo.
