It’s been awhile since I’ve checked in. Things are good. I’m getting a raise! Still turned down the promotion due to it just being too much stress for me at this time. I’ve stopped isolating as much so, getting out more and doing things. That’s been enjoyable!
I do need to hit more meetings and open my books a little more so I will spend some time this weekend doing so. Along with more painting as I began to pick that back up.
All in all.. it’s been more productive than not. Wishing everyone well
I spent my Friday night working on photography while I ate healthy food.
I crashed early and I’m up early. I like that. Getting good rest is something I have been focusing on. My brain always want to go, but I’m making it listen to my body. I used to run off 4-5 hours sleep most of the time. i have been sleeping 8 to ten onshore. No energy drinks unless I’m fishing.
Splicing is hard on my hands. They hurt today. I get tomorrow off.
I want to go and visit Cape Arago botanical garden. Its an amazing place to bring a camera. I haven’t done that in years. Now, I can walk there if I want to. I like living here. I still need to visit that heron rookery too.
We are moving the boat this morning, then some more splicing. Work has been good! Smooth sailing.
Day 1476
So we were able to go home yesterday even with my son spiking a fever last minute. He did well overnight and is doing good this morning but we have to keep up with the Tylenol/Advil tor a few days until the antibiotics really get a chance to work.
For 2 weeks I will need to get up in the middle of the night to give him his antibiotics as its every 8 hours. Not getting a solid sleep lately has really effected me but he needs these meds so it is what it is.
I got up for work early this morning and left a little early to grab an extra coffee at Tim Hortons. Im going to need it lol Just got to work now. Hope the day goes by smoothly.
Im just so grateful that my son is on the mend and that we can get back to routine. Hope everyone has a lovely Saturday!

@Mno Enjoy having today just for YOU! Glad u didnt experience cravings or anything at ur staff dinner party. I can relate to feeling that disconnect from others who do drink (not that Im around that very much at all now, but in the past i remember feeling like I didn belong). Anyway, hope ur day is as amazing as u are friend!

Saturday AM. Just about to get my daughter up for dance class. Got lots of tidying done and some planning done already this AM. Been solo parenting overnights this week, with my wife working nights, and she’s going away this weekend for a ski trip with lady friends. Me and my 5h13m sleep vs the world today. Bring it on. Glad to have the battles I do, and the tools for success. No need for an easy day for a long time.. I’ll enjoy one later!
Take care of yourself, and keep doing the right things.
Thanks Lisa! It kinda has always fellt like you are my aunt or something lol .. non related aunt haha.. hopefully that doesn’t offend you. But always grateful for your support and never giving up on me. Im grateful for everyone on here and this place has been a huge help
Thank you for the kind words. Glad to be a part of this community with you! Just gonna keep moving forward and no thing or person is getting in my way. This is my life and it’s not a game to me anymore!
I’m glad to hear that he’s feeling better. I’m late reading and responding to this but I’m hoping that he’s home by now and feeling better. You can’t help life circumstances and it’s hard to eat healthy while stuck at the hospital. I understand why you would have to reset your timer, I just hope that you’re not being hard on yourself because it sounds like a lot of it had to do with being stuck at the hospital. I’ll continue to keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers
Checking in 222 days THC free and 8 days MO free. My toy is long gone and in a landfill somewhere! Moving right along, works been crazy but good. I didn’t make it to CR yesterday due to exhaustion. I chose rest instead, I did go to an AA meeting this week so there’s that. It was a good one too, a big book study where it talks about sex. I really needed to hear some of that. A good reminder that the two go hand in hand. My new boss gave me Sunday off this week! I a pleasantly surprised! Idk if it’s going to continue but I’ll take it! Household chores are all caught up so the house is clean for my next two days off! I have to work on my Bible study assignments, tomorrow seems like the perfect day for that, after church!
Youve really come a long way since u first joined TS! Im so happy for u!!
Congratulations on ur raise also!
