It’s a dark, gloomy and frigid day here, so after I run a couple errands and walk my pup I will be hiding inside today. I got watercolor paints and supplies from my husband for the holidays, and I just got a little table/tray that angles and adjusts so I can use it as a place to paint on. Today I will get started playing with paint! I have to start and get over my nervous feeling 
I know I will enjoy it. I used to paint with watercolors often in my younger days (among other art activities). Later on we talked about playing some games, maybe Scrabble, backgammon or cribbage. My husband has a three day weekend with Monday off so we are making plans for a day trip sometime this weekend, maybe go bird watching for eagles and migrating water birds on the Mississippi River, so we’ll talk about our plans tonight, too. Happy Friday!

Happy Friday the 13th gang!
I am trying to mutitask and not doing a good job, infact, its making things worse!
Cooking breakfast while trying to fix an issue with a work system, forgot the food on the stove, smoke alarms going off, baby is crying, new errors popping up while trying to save settings, stress level increasing, arteries narrowing, blood pressure rising… typical day in the Hoof house.

I went downstairs and stayed 3h! Wooooohoooooo 
it was, surprise surprise, quite okay and nice. People were mainly drinking Sekt which I never was a fan of. I’ve been asked some times but it was okay. People were already a bit tipsy and I think this makes them non understanding to no. When one asked me again I said I already had enough in my life. I am glad I went and I am proud that I left without guilt.

I did individual and group therapy with a visit to a new museum (for me) with some brutal video art in between. Quite enough for this Friday the 13th. So Luna and me on the couch it is. Have a good one all X

I’d like to say it used to be the day of the week where I’d kick back, have a few beers with the guys and shoot the shit till the early hours.
In reality it’s 9pm, I’d have been already home because I’d caused yet more shit, on my own surrounded my ale and coke. Till Tuesday probably where I’d crawl back full of guilt full of fake apologies and crocodile tears. Fuck that!
Tonight I’ve absolutely crushed 65 minutes of intense cardio and cooked myself and the wife grilled chicken with broccoli and tagliatelle.
Just cracked open a sparkling water after a hot shower and going to spend some time in the snug with the woman of my dreams watching an old Kevin Costner fuck around on his ranch in Montana.
Fucking bliss 
And all I had to do was stay sober, by any means necessary, for one day at a time.

Friday is just another day for me.
I really wanted to pick up beer. I know though that’s it’s not a drink I want, it’s not to think. And not thinking is what got me to a life I want to run from. So, here I sit after a bowl of Fritos, followed by a bowl of GF pretzels. Now, I need a ton of water to replace all the liquid the salt sucked out of my body.

I just got home from my annual physical. Gotta brag that my blood pressure was only 118/70. My family genetics leads toward diabetes and I’m no where near that due to my healthy lifestyle.
So all is well. There’s stew in the crockpot and I’m going to attend a Zoom AA women’s meeting.

This sounds like an amazing Friday. Great work on the BP. Being healthy kicks the shit outta being stuck in a cycle of drinking and using. Great job. Enjoy that meeting

Happy friday ya’ll
It being friday the 13th i tried not to have any expectations.
My ride to work i hit all the green lights! Work was ok, had a mtg with a problem program director that i was dreading but she was on good behavior. The day flew by. Kept to my calories. Made dinner. Left my shoes on because i have to go to the store and get my hubby flowers, balloons, and chocolate for his 6 month sober milestone.
Caught up on my threads and currenly horizontal on the couch with Boscoe…must go to the store

Welcome to Friday once again folks!
How are you doing? What are your friday plans?
Mine are unspectacular. Had a busy day and a nice nap in the afternoon. Will try an evening appointment with my therapist for the first time. I told him, I might fall asleep during the session as this time is a quite often enjoyed early bedtime for me 
Have a sober friday
