Checking in! 
Today has been my last day of holidays, tomorrow I’m back at the office! I always enjoy holidays, but without work, I wouldn’t enjoy holidays that much, so going back is just fine! I’m dreading my inbox… but I’ll get that sorted little by little!
The last two days I haven’t done too many things, just the usual stuff; going for my daily walk, listen to audiobooks while cleaning (I really enjoy that! I must be weird!), preparing tuppers for the upcoming week bla bla. All over it’s been a good week, with nice weather! Tomorrow back to my routine! 
Peanut, aka Mr. P. Has been accepted by Moka, that’s another step forward!
As of tomorrow they stay alone all day long, so they better get along well!

Checking in , i think i missed yesterday. Had the day off and to myself. I got a lot accomplished. I took a drive down the valley to the Amish community. Hit some produce stands, small shops and discount grocery store. Stopped by a shoe store to look at some sandals. I was there a few weeks ago and couldn’t decide between two pair and they were getting ready to close, so i just left. Today, both pair were 50 percent off, so i got both!! That worked out nicely. I cleaned out my car, vacuumed, washed and waxed it when i got home. I also started packing and organizing things for vacation and finished up some laundry. It’s been a very productive day. I was just thinking that when i was drinking, a holiday weekend would have been so much different. I would have started drinking Friday after work and been an absolute mess by Monday. I wouldn’t have accomplished anything and would have been sick and hungover for work Tuesday. So glad that’s not my life anymore. Hope everyone is having a great sober day. Gonna fire up the grill and cook some burgers

Checking in on day 456 AFAF.
The weather forecast was dreadful today so I decided to cancel my morning yoga session and climb back into bed after I’d got the kids out to school. It felt so nice listening to the rain outside as I dozed.
I did a tiny bit of tidying today but really I’ve just taken it easy. I didn’t sleep especially well last night, waking after a nightmare at 4am, so I plan to take my meds that help me to sleep tonight.
The forecast is for dry weather tomorrow so I may take my art materials out for some sketching.

@JazzyS what a great phrase is “is ok not being ok” thank you!
Also I read this today and encouraged me

Today was a really good day. As I mentioned in previous posts the sober living house I stay at has transition apartments across the street and once you move up the list, current on rent, and have a sponsor your eligible to move over there. Well it happened today!! Someone recently moved out and the house manager asked me to help clean and clear out the apartment so I did and once I finished he came back with the key and said move in it’s all yours not even realizing or getting my hopes up that I was cleaning my new apartment. It doesn’t seem real and I haven’t had my own place in 4 years. Been in and out of hospitals, detox , and homeless lost in my addiction. I guess the hard work is paying off and just because this happened doesn’t mean I let my guard down… it means I work harder and show gratitude to the people who have helped me. Went to the store to load my fridge and get a few things and was able to pay for my everything myself which is a first. And it was cool to have my parents come over to see the place. I still have a lot of work to do but not everything has to get done today. Just relaxing now and reflecting on my progress. Going to hit a meeting in a couple hours then get ready for work tomorrow. Today was good. Today was good because I’m sober. The only way is forward. One day at a time.
It’s not the greatest place in the world but it’s mine. And I’m very grateful

Checking in Day97. So I didn’t leave Saturday & head to Texas.I hate to admit it but I just wasn’t mentally ready like I thought. I pushed my plans back but I know I can’t continue to run from this. Right now my desire to leave is less than my fear of the change. I have to shake this off and get it together. Idk. . .Just ODAAT that’s all I can say. Hope all is well with everyone.

Day 932
I really had such a nice day with the family today. We went to the zoo and spent about 4-5 hours there. Got in over 5000 steps while we looked at all the animals. We even went on the zoo train twice as well as took a ride around the carousel twice. The weather was quite warm tho. Im a bit burnt. I put sunscreen on my son but not myself lol wasnt thinking of course. Came home around 230/3pm. Then hubbt dyed my hair for me. I dyed it a dark brown. Looks nice 
School is back tmrw for my son which means back to the gym for me and back to routine! Hope everyone is doing well
