My poor little snake, who is shedding and looks horribly pathetic, but who i adore
Update, more evening gratitude.
Nope to skipping chores, I broke an empty vinegar bottle. Iām grateful after vacuuming and mopping no glas shards left on the floor. Iām always hyper vigilant about anything sharp hurting paws.

It always takes a few days to really be back home. All the things that need to be done after a trip: laundry, groceries, whatnot. I am grateful I got everything sorted out yesterday and today.
I finally had enough time to hang with my online recovery community this morning and really enjoyed it. We chatted about so many things and had plenty of fun. It is good to have a home like that.
Did a bit of stuff to clean up my schedule and prepare a bit for next week. I am grateful I have an established system that is flexible enough for all kinds of occasions.
Rode our bikes into the city to an exhibition. The exhibition itself was boring but we met friends there and got to chat a bit. Very nice.
Hang out at the pool later, did my yoga session there. Grateful for all the sun, and shade and fresh air and summer time.
Got to bake some gluten free breadrolls. It is nice to have something new to eat for a change.
Going to stay up later then usual as my daughter is going to come home tonight from her summer camp trip. Grateful to have had that time to ourselves, and also very grateful for her coming home.
Super super grateful for my dad and my mom not abandoning me despite my history with drug abuse. Iām so proud that I can finally tell them that Iām over a month sober
The first ever blood spot in my eye is not to worry about, so sayeth the Internet.
My decision that I will find twelve thousand dollars to buy a double lot, with a 1900-year made home. Why not?
Great dinner, great breakfast, not made by me.
Found a tickle spot on the house Doodle. He amuses me.
My dogs - dealing with change all the time.
My son - because.
My daughter - because.
My father - because and - I look just like him.
My mothe - because.
You - deep reasons beyond because.
@Butterflymoonwoman yippee to your 15 years of being smoking free!! Very impressive work @erntedank you are so sweet and vigilant. Iām sure your fur babies are grateful. Glad you were able to get that bottle all picked up @Madds a snake? Oooh I wanna see? Need detailsā¦what kind, gender, do you have other reptiles? Always wanted a snake but I could never feed them live mice so thought itād be cruel for me to keep. @EarnIt I do hope itās nothing to worry about but would get it checked if it changes shape, color or begind to hurt. I have had one in one eye for a few years and I get It checked yearly to make sure nothing is changing.
Sunday gratefulness I am so very grateful for my comfy safe space . Grateful my brother had taken me in and given me this time and space to heal I am so very grateful for my bed. I may not sleep much but itās nice to be comfortable when I do rest I am so very grateful for this neck pulsating heat massager that is helping me reduce my dizzy spells and fixing my vagus nerve issues I am so very grateful that I did get to the pool. Many interruptions and only got 70 min swim time but still better than nothing. I am so very grateful for my brother coming home with leftovers right when I was needing some to snack on. Perfect timing I am so very grateful for the lovely hanger that sorts my necklaces which my sister gave me. Now my jewelry is nicely sorted and visibly hung⦠hopefully Iāll start wearing it again. I am so very grateful for being able to laugh at myself. My brother calls me comedy Centralā¦yeah I am full time amusement even when I feel like shitā:winking_face_with_tongue: I am so very grateful for my family, my faith, my Higher Power and my positivity.

I am so very grateful that Halloween time is getting closer and now we will see many more decorations all around. I am so very grateful that I turned on the AC last night so that I didnāt wake to a muggy home. This humidity really needs to take a hike. I am so very grateful that my brother invited me to go visit my cousins tonight. They live 49 min away so most likely I wonāt go as my pain level is already very high and hard to manage. Nice to be asked. I am so very grateful that the fudge in our fridge (left behind from my brothers friend was visiting) had dairy in it. Glad I read the ingredients and didnāt eat. Come to find out that it was āspecialā fudge. I almost beat my brother. What if I didnāt look at the ingredients. What if it was vegan fudge and I took a bite or moreā:face_with_peeking_eye:⦠Seriouslyā¦I was furious and heās laughing his ass off. To think I was mad he left a dairy item in the fridge as we are both vegan and thought that was careless ..lol .. little did I know
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day⦠sending you all so much love
Iāve never had him sexed but heās the size of a male so i call him a boy. Heās a ball python named Theodore Tweed. Usually heās a better looking gentleman. He eats frozen rats.
I totally agree with youā¦need to give it much more time and love. Yeah to getting your 12ā skeletonā¦I do love mine⦠trying to do a whole family

I am grateful for having the head space this night to do a little bit work/to get ahead for monday- that will def help with managing my anxiety tom. I am grateful for my husband being aware of me struggling today and not working. I am grateful for my husband picking up take out so i didnt have the added stress of cooking dinner. The tacos were delicious! I am grateful having a nice chat with my mother in law. I am grateful once the craving passed- I was able to go back to cleaning. House feels so much more peaceful when everything is clean. I am grateful for this day despite it challenges. I am grateful for all of you. ODAAT
