Yeah good thanks. Busy at work. Started stuff at home now. Feel like I can now. Been a while where I haven’t done much beyond the basics. Pissed the wife off a bit but tuff. I think I needed to just find me.

I know how that goes, when I lived in NY and was drinking, I loved taking care of all that needed taking care of, especially the firewood. Whatever needed doin I’d do it but always had a drink or beer in hand, now it’s sometimes difficult to get motivated and forget about anything outside in the summer months, june to november…

Busy day, but a good day. Wishing you all a good night (or good morning, depending where you are in the world). Hitting the hay right now but tomorrow is Friday! A happy, restful & sober earth rotation to you all!

Good.morning starry eye. Kids come back today for a week and after one week it will start.
I feel like i ve curled inwards in a silent place. This happened before my surgery too. Dont know why but i seem to slow down before “critical” moments. Did the meditation work? Yoga nidra is good for insomnia.
And remember its full moon this weekend…

Thanks hun 
Happy earth rotation all. I’ve survived a day of wonky headspace, working through two simultaneous medication changes at the moment. But it’s for the best, and my body should start adjusting soon.
Anyone have exciting Friday plans? Me, I’m going to find an hour or so and some headphones and listen to Mahler’s Tenth Symphony. It’s the kind of listening I like to do with my full attention and I’ve been putting it off for a while. Gonna be outstanding!

I’ve just been getting into his stuff this summer. There’s too many composers I want to listen to, but I’ve heard specific things about Mahler and a few others in a super interesting book I’ve been reading, so I now have reasons to pick out particular composers to listen to sooner rather than later.
Aah, may i suggest Buckner or my country man Klami?

When I started this journey, reading on here, I took what I thought was some very valid points.
Check your ego at the door
Life changing
Get out of your comfort zone ( still got more work to do on this one!)
Don’t put anything in front of your sobriety.
Be kind to yourself
One of the things I took from this is that if I try to overdo things, carry on like I was before, I would find it harder.
So that is exactly what I have been doing. Ok with the summer comes the need to do garden work, but we started to work on a small extension on father’s Day last year.
I’ve still just got a trench, no concrete in yet. Ok most of this has been financial. But I also haven’t been worrying about it.
Anxiety was a main reason for drinking. Why would I increase the chances of being over anxious and put something in front of my sobriety. This has been my main focus.
I have got a bit annoyed at times but I’ve asked for guidance and took the advice.
Some may think of it as being lazy. I just see it as being cautious.
You doing great Kairi. Just do you.

Morning, Bill! No big plans for me, as usual. I’m pretty boring lol. Doing “mom” stuff. Might take little man apple picking at a local farm. They have a big dirt pile he loves to play on; corn maze, a few animals to pet (bunnies!), local made gifts, produce, etc. Have a fabulous weekend!
