Saturday afternoon check in.
Daughter is down for a nap. Just tidied the kitchen, and am going to relax for a bit for the first time in several days.
Weāre meeting up with friends for a buddyās birthday at a brewery when my little girl gets up. Iāve got her toys and snacks ready to go, and already verified online that the brewery has some good quality non-alcoholic options for me.
Happy Saturday, yāall. As Frank said a few posts ago: make it a great one.

181 days sober.
I want this weekend to be fun and relaxing with my kids. Usually itās stressful and draining to have everyone home. Iāve planned some fun activities and will force myself to relax with them and let the house get messy.

Day 965
Just finished work and am on my way home. I have had alot of anxiety today and ive been praying to have it be removed. It does help but i feel like i have to constantly be in prayer in order for it to stay gone. Definitly going to do some self care tonight and do my best to stay in the moment. Thats all i can do. This past financial situation is really getting to me (thats what the anxiety is about). I am about halfway thru getting all the paperwork i need. Am hoping to send this all off late next week (depending on when i get my paperwork emailed and printed off). Then i think it takes about 4-6 weeks for it all to be reviewed. So i better get used to being in the moment bcuz i have a long wait ahead of me to find out the outcome.
Anyway enough about that. Im grateful for my recovery and my family. Grateful for this gorgeous autumn weather. Grateful for where im at today. Grateful for exercise and grateful for u all being here. Much love to u all

I can well envision how seeing your past finances is anxiety-inducing, but dear @Butterflymoonwoman, maybe let bygones be bygones? There is literally not a single thing you or anyone else can do about the past and you are doing SO well in the present!

@Seb Ugh! Sorry youāre dealing with vertigo 
I experienced it a few times years ago and it was awful. Just getting out of bed was difficult. My father gets it really bad sometimes. I hope it passes soon for you
@Amy30 Super awesome to hear you had such a good first day of school! I think itās wonderful youāve gone back

October came, and as usual, business took an immediate nosedive. As the amount of good golf days dwindle, so does cash flow. Oct/Nov are always brutal. Gotta hold out til the holidays. On the plus side, my body is considerably less tired and sore and Iāve been able to keep up with chores easily. Soon Iāll be able to start chipping away at the bigger projects again. Iāve got the next 3 days off and the weather doesnāt look great so Iām hoping to get to something. Anything. But first I must unwind, sleep, and wake up naturally to no alarm. It made all the difference last week when I was finally able to catch up on sleep Have a great Saturday

Home after work, feeling kind of sad, frustrated with weight loss efforts, dissatisfied with the day but bored at the same time, and lonely. I just feel likeā¦ thereās been nothing of real substance or meaning in my life lately, nothing Iām super interested in doing, I go to work, and donāt really know what else to do with my life. I miss connection and feeling like I have someone who Iām close with but I canāt say I really have that, not even with any of my friends. Like Iām closeR with some of them, but at the same time, I donāt feel truly CLOSE to them.

I ended up doing quite a long ride yesterday, getting cheese from my favourite dairy farm on one side of town, and eggs and veggies and stuff from my favourite growers and organic grocery on the other. The weather was perfect for it but I am rather tired now. One day to recuperate before my workweek kicks in. Eat and rest, do some house chores, pet Luna, that will be about it. And have as good a day as I can of course, just as I expect from all of you. Sober and clean and one day at a time. Love.

Thanks @JazzyS @tailee17 @Just_Laura Vertigo is still pretty bad today unfortunately. The exercises I generally do to settle the crystals in my ears are not really helping at this stage. Hopefully better tomorrow

*Day 2209 
Proud of myself after keeping my boundaries at work.
Iāve worked for 5 houres yesterday. It wasnāt easy with a broken feet but with a co worker doing most of the walking I managed.
Then I saw the work schedule for upcoming week 
I had to work my houres at monday at my own, so no co worker! What! 
I think Iām very cooperative to work at all! Is this my ārewardā? It made me mad and sad at the same time. Almost called in sick for the remaining 75%. But I didnāt. Instead of it I contacted the manager and explained her my feelings and worries. Itās fixed now 
Today? Visithing my mother in law for a lunch in a restaurant.
Have a good sober sunday all

@JazzyS Thanks for the shout out Jazzy. Thanks for the shout out to all the other peeps too!
Youāre right, I was worried about my kids not being able to stay with me but I am starting to enjpy the gifts of sobriety bit by bit. Day by day.
Hope youāre well.

@SoberWalker That elevated footās looking good!
@wahtisnormal I feel you. Sometimes my days are like that. I feel distant from everything and everyone. A daily schedule with things that give me meaning helps me. Even on the days where I donāt feel it, itās a good investment, and I donāt have too much time for useless rumination. Hope your funk ends soon.
@Scorpn Itās ok not to feel sometimes 
@1in8billion You live in the Bermuda Triangle, isnāt that right?
@Butterflymoonwoman Sending calming vibes for the present moment.
@Vanessa8 To messy homes!
@PositiveThoughts Like your proactive mindset 
@Amy30 Congrats of first day of school 
Your excitement is really palpable. Enjoy the ride!
@Kareness Enjoy your walk! I hope the weather in your part of the world makes it a nice one.
@tailee17 You are so working your recovery. This is impressive

6 months no UltraProcessedFoods. Body and mind are very grateful for that. Canāt imagine the kind of stress this crap put me into.
Did some morning yoga and rowing. The sun is up and shining. End of the week means weekly review: looking back, taking stock, preparing for the week to come.
My daughter has her matinee performance today. I watched the premiere yesterday and was so enthralled Iām going to go a second time today. Dance, music, great costumes, a nice story. Lots of fun.
Not many plans for the afternoon.
Todayās picture is some streetart I enjoyed in Rotterdam this summer.
Whatever comes Iāll go for peace and love for life
