Had a pretty good work day yesterday. Hoping for the same today. Will do my best to make it so. One day at a time friends. Sober and clean or nothing will come of it.
Weather is crazy, today will be 15 degrees warmer than yesterday. Windy too. Will deal with it. Canāt change much about things outside myself, but a bit more on how I handle things. Working on it. And will make today as good a day as I can and expect the same from all of you. Love.

First day back at work after leave. Was a pretty hectic day but good. We hosted a family Christmas party for staff with kids from our district, probably 60+kids and their parents. My kids came in for a bit which was nice.
It was also the day for our citys santa parade in the cbd, so all around was closed roads and gridlock traffic.
Its all calmed down now, still have the nightshift to go till I finish.
Belated congratulations @acromouse . Quite an achievement.

- Lovely weekend so far. My triceps are nicely aching from a self led weights program in the gym yesterday. Nice to keep switching it up and changing my plan and classes and free weights. We watched a couple of movies in the afternoon and I made us a cheese board which was a bit like Christmas food. So chill and lovely. Cats got played with several times so they were happy and sweet little monkeys. Days like yesterday make me feel amazed that I get to be this lucky. That I will be recovering forever, but happily recovering. No chance of any outdoor activities this weekend, Storm Bert is kicking our ass! Itās like 16 degrees or something today from zero degrees Friday. Crazy. My wife has marinated a whole leg of lamb in tandoori spices the last two days and she is slow cooking it today, so that should be pretty special. Off to the gym in a bit for some cardio and more leg day before the match.
Hey sis @Juli1 
Great numbers

Congratulations on 90 @HakeemOsman, 30 @james83, 7 @BrownGecko, 1 year @acromouse WOOT!!!
What a lovely day yesterday. The meeting was a speaker meeting and it was brilliant. I have decided to go back every Saturday with or without my son. I know he prefers NA meetings so he may not come every week but said he will join me on occasion. (When he wants me to take him out for lunch after 
is my guess!)
We went to a nearby Hungry Horse and had some starters to share. I got home and curled up with husband and my knitting to watch some telly. The peace that comes over me after an in person meeting makes falling asleep easy so I had an early night.
2 weeks in a row I have intended to go to my local Tuesday night meeting but have not gone. I think its the walking in alone, putting myself out there to go up to people and meet them. I donāt know, Ive been avoiding it. Pubs and Bars were not really my thing but I was thinking, would I have been willing to walk into a pub alone? Probably. Talk to someone at the bar? Also probably. So I donāt really have an excuse. I will never find a home group if I donāt get out there and start going to face to face meetings. Donāt get me wrong. Online meetings are great and I really enjoy them, but I can hide and if I can, I do.
Today we have yoga, Church, weekly shop, roast dinner, knitting, online meeting and movie night. Thereās no time for a drink in this day!

Night was honestly a fight. Kept waking up from 3am on with panic attacks on and off. Iām going to try to adjust my HRT dosage in hopes of getting a handle on that.
Today I will be off for a hike in a few, the next stretch of a geologically inspired trail in my city. My weekly review in the afternoon, and a loooong Yin Yoga session then. My ex will be staying for a few days with us to help care of our sick kid.
Todayās picture is an artwork my friend made with the explanation she had still so much spare yellow wool left. A reasoning probably only crafts people will ever understand 
Peace and love for life always

Yesterday in the afternoon I finally did a decent workout! And after that a nice warm bath!
Today Iām off, and I just had breakfast.
This afternoon Iām going to my momās place for coffee with a friend of mine, my mom has moved 3 weeks ago, and I have made a little āwelcomeā pack, in Germany they usually give bread and salt when somebody moves into a new place. Iāve added some fruit to give the basket some color!

@JP123 way to go on a week strong and through the weekend. Major accolades on a job well done.
@acromouse sorry to hear of the sleep panic attacks and troubles with sleeping. Hopefully a dose adjustment can help. Itās crappy not being able to rest well. I think it was a major reason I drank, I knew I wouldnāt toss and think all night. Iād pass out and awake in morning. Obviously a crappy sleep from a rest stance but sleep came.
Your friend has some mad skills. I said it before but wow. I love her work!!
Day 324 AF
Not sure when power came back on, gennie ran till I went to bed and gave wife some pointers as to what to do when it came back. Seems she handled it well.
Workout yesterday was insane, never worked that hard in gym ever. But awoke today with no aches, no pains, perhaps a bit of stiffness to stretch out. My watch has my HRV in the right zone and after another fantastic 9 hour sleep, I am hitting legs today. Then bike, sauna blanket, shower then see what I will do with rest of day.
Iām thinking to finish window plastic in office as I keep putting off finishing. Then I can throw a little space heater and start taking my coffee out there again. Though my Living Room chair has just as nice a view!
Wishing you all an amazing Sunday. Enjoy

Was another relaxing day here. Took the horses out for a ride with my friend in the morning and lugged home buckets of water. Then came back for hot tea and coffee cake. My friend is staying another night and weāve been playing some games. Just relaxing together.
Am hoping that tomorrow Iāll hear news about my project proposal. Iām feeling antsy to get started on it.
