Today is my last day of work in a 12 day stretch. I like work, it keeps me out of trouble. Tomorrow I will see my family to celebrate my Mom’s 80th birthday. I finally feel ready to meet my family with kindness and openness, no more hiding. I’ll start the day with coffee and a work-out and I’ll end it sober.
Trying to unwind a bit from this week’s news.
Watching a series ‘the replacement’ and being happy that I tidied up at least. My apartment reflected my inside. ![]()
Grocery shopping and marvel movies with the kids.
I’ve barely slept the last couple nights so let’s see how late I can make it
So I’m 19 days sober, felt very uneasy earlier, felt flat knowing I wanted a drink, kept positive, been asked to go out for a drink by my other half, said no, done food got film on and not moving
tough but I’m not giving in, gym Tommorro and football with son, happy friday all stay strong ![]()

Time to celebrate! I’m doing the usual stuff, watching the Voice of Finland, but this time with cake, the last piece from last weekend, when I celebrated my 42nd birthday (amongst other things
@Olivia ). But also, we’re finally in a position where I was able to book an appointment in the bank, so we can FINALLY get the inheritance split, and close the bank accounts. It’s been a long struggle, but now it really looks like it’s gonna be done. Fucken finally!!!
That looks SO good! ![]()
Went for a nice walk and feel very relaxed now. ![]()
Happy belated birthday! And congrats on getting that estate all settled finally. Long time coming.
Thank you Rosa! ![]()
It certainly has. A sense of relief is blowing over me!
@GenG the cake is actually a chilli-chocolate cake ![]()
! Defo a favourite!
Did my obligatory work duties…i’ll hit it hard monday. Now…its my weekend! Gonna hang with the hubby when hes not working, cook some new recipes, do some AA, and better do some exercising.
I should be greatful my fasting labs all came back normal but my cholesterol. Must increase exercise! Grumble
It’s friday again TS folks!
What are you doing on your sober friday?
Mine is half over, it’s already lunchtime here. Was up on time, did chores, pets and laundry, had breakfast in the spring sun. Will do more chores, office work and pet snuggling in the afternoon. Planning early bed time because fresh linen is waiting for me …
Calling @Planipennia to contribute ![]()
Just finished my Friday morning coffee
I’m only working an hour today before I have the rest of the day off for vacation day with my kiddo. We’ll dress in green today for St. Patrick’s Day
then maybe a lunch trip out before his haircut appointment this aft. Maybe a trip to the library.
It’s above freezing today and it’s to rain quite a bit. Should make a nice muddy mess when the snow melts! Lots of muddy dog paw prints are expected in the house ![]()
Happy sober weekend, all!
My three day weekend is here yay! Already took Luna
to the vet
to have her ears
checked after her ear infection that caused her to wobble badly a month ago. Happy to say her ears are looking a lot better. Also finished force feeding her AB
yesterday. Better for the both of us
. And finally her nails
were clipped so she can sneak up on me at 3 am instead of sounding like she’s wearing high heels on the wooden floor.
Sorry for turning this into a pet thread post. In other weekend news it is seriously warming up outside, too bad there’s some rain around. Still going outside to feel spring approaching. As I will tomorrow and Sunday. Otherwise not too much planned. Sleep
. Prepare and eat food
. Watch some March Madness
, Six Nations rugby (go Ireland)
, Milan - San Remo
, and of course some football
. Spend some time here. That’s probably about it. Sorry for turning this into a sports thread
. Have a great weekend all!

Great that Luna is doing better
Giving pills to a cat … I’m happy with you it’s over.
Sounds like a wonderful weekend!
And the high heels cracked me up, I can relate ![]()

I have a (welcome) quiet day at work, I’ll be done around noon. Then it’s time for a 2-hr massage.
Incorporating it as part of my lifting/running recovery program. Found a great masseuse who has a firm grasp on physiology and the nervous system. Knows his stuff. Great first session 2 weeks ago.
It’s pricey, but I’m framing it as an investment in my long-term health which is what my life is all about.
That. Sounds. Amazing.
Oh Friday.
Not a lot going on today. Gonna take Penny to the park in an hour, then figure out dinner for tonight. Also gonna try to fit in some drum practice! ![]()
Spring is teasing me…I’m enjoying the sunshine today but these 20 deg temps aren’t fun anymore! Especially after a warm up and most of the snow melting. So this Friday involves staying warm inside. No plans to go anywhere or do much, just the usual watch a movie or two and cuddle up.
