Different day than expected. As I’ve mentioned, it’s common to receive the ‘who wants the night off’ text from the boss bc she still can’t make an efficient schedule, after 2 years 
Normally many jump at the chance, but not lately bc it’s been slow. Last week we found out she’s been telling people not to come in if no one volunteers(from someone it keeps happening to). My co manager felt this was illegal and looked it up. Sure enough, it is! Any change in schedule must be announced at least 72 hours before said shift. Today, the text came at 1pm. Nine were scheduled at 4pm. One took the offer, but after 30 minutes, the boss named the 3 she ‘needed’ and the remaining 5 were called off, myself included. Pretty messed up 
Half my coworkers are in college or living with their parents, but some of us have bills to pay! The only reason I’m not that upset is bc Thanksgiving was great and I’m working a party next week on a day we’re normally closed so I already have an extra shift, but still. I fully intended to work today, even if it was just hourly pay. It all adds up.
Anyway. I unexpectedly felt lost on how to spend my time. I ended up cleaning a bit, going out for a few necessities(which was a mistake bc stores were still crazy), and did some online shopping for Xmas(which included the gift to myself of extremely nice work shoes 
). I ate some leftovers from the buffet for dinner and I think it messed up my stomach. Not horribly, but enough. Winding down now with a bubbly tummy 
Hope everyone has a good one!

But not quite a year. Have to do an extra day for that to really earn it 
Up early to drop the kids at their grandparents. Wife was finishing up nightshift and i was on a day.
Quiet day at work, was really what I needed after a busy set of shifts last week and a late night last night.
Tomorrow at work will be busy, already have a few things scheduled and thats on top of whatever the day may throw at us.

Day 77
Checking in Wednesday night starting feeling sick when you work in a warehouse there’s cold sections and warm sections and when you’re bouncing back and forth the whole day and sweating then being cold doesn’t mix I didn’t eat the Thanksgiving meal and even showed up for work Friday which was 7am shift got home at 4 and stayed in bed for over 24 hours was barely able to move called out today been at the new job for 3 weeks and only had 3 days off so I think I’ll be alright not scheduled for the next 3 days but knowing me I’ll call in for hours. There’s always something positive to taking away from being this sick and that is I don’t have to worry about being sick for a good 6 months or more and that I’ll be stronger by Wednesday. As always wishing everyone the best in life and sobriety. Peace to All

Yesterday turned out really well. Rode my bike for a good bit, it was cold but sunny and not too much wind. At night my sis celebrated her birthday wit a party at her place, first time she dared to do something like that since she caught long covid more then three years ago. It was great fun for her, and for me. I actually talked to people, and they to me, even some people I didn’t know. It may sound stupid, but that’s huge for me. I never did that. And it reminds me of the enormous progress I made in recovery. Which is sometimes hard to remember as life is still life and I’m still me.
Anyway. I’ve planned a quieter day today. House chores, cooking, a little bit of shopping. Going to have as good a day as I can and expect the same from all of you. Sober and clean or nothing will come from it. Love.
@SoberWalker I love to see the progress your red monster is making Claudia. Slowly but steady!

Yes, we love it too 
She lives for 2 years with us now and dares to lay on my lap for maximum 30 minutes.
We even put the timer on sometimes to see how long 
The thing is she loves the blankets we use at the couch. I do not think she ever sat at my lap without a blanket in between us.

So as plans always change, so did this one. We are now leaving tonight instead of the crack of dawn this morning to collect MIL. She told us at like 8pm last night that there would be workmen revamping her bathroom all day today, on a Sunday! We really didn’t vibe with that so declined going early. Annoying as the cats didn’t need to be boarded last night at all… But still… By the time we do go away tomorrow, they will be settled with my friend/boarder. Communication with my partners family is always so passive and bleh, it drives me nuts that people don’t just say the real thing they need to say rather that scooting around the issue. It is what it is, but I just wish people would be more direct. Direct is easy to navigate.
With my unexpected extra day in London I will pack slow, go to Pilates, eat chilli from the freezer and be chill.

Day 687.
It’s also day 1 of my home spa advent calendar. I got a nice shower gel, it smells lush. As I can’t really remember what’s in it or what order I’m getting them in, every day is a little surprise.
Tomorrow, on the most sacred day of the year (Britney Spears’s birthday… don’t judge, we all have guilty pleasures 
), we’re putting the tree up.

Today is the first day of the Advent season. My daughter and husband got their advent calendars, both the chocolate type. We also have gotten an advent wreath and will be lightning the first candle today.
On advent Sundays we usually gather with the family for coffee and cake which we’ll do today in the afternoon at my in-law’s. I want to get my weekly review done before that, and join a Satiseva online meeting in the evening.
Today’s picture is our advent wreath this year before the first candle was lit.
Peace and love for life always

Checking in on a sober Sunday. This week, and weekend in particular, has been a rough ride emotionally. Lots of hurtful monologues from my husband when I try to talk to him about the separation, followed by many messages. It’s all hurting my brain and impacting on my chronic fatigue with a bad symptom flare up. I’m using my toolkit, trying to breathe through it and telling myself this will pass. The happiness on the horizon and remembering what i am working towards keeps me going. I hope everyone has a good Sunday

Day 275
So glad to have this place to come to. Safety. Acceptance. I can read posts that aren’t angry. I’m struggling a bit because I want peace above all. I don’t understand the obsession with conflict and violence. So I’m an outsider. But you meet people on the margins that help you. And nearly everything you say resonates with them. Somehow we’ll get through. Extend a hand to someone.
