Friday Thread #2

Hey friends. What’s your sober Friday look like?

I’m making hoagies/subs for lunch and then putzing around in the garden today. Maybe chef salads for dinner. The heat broke and it’s a lovely day to be outside. Need to pick up supplies for a BBQ tomorrow and then a bonfire that evening, just my husband and me time. Looking forward to some downtime with few expectations.

Sounds like a great weekend planned! It is too hot here atm and about to take my daughter to football training. Hope they are sensible.

My current Friday night looks like a nice relaxing evening hiding inside, and finishing my book. I have read all afternoon as too hot for much else.

It’s still in the noon o’clock hour here in the PNW, I’m sort of phoning it in at work today, not motivated to get much done.

No plans for the rest of the day, just whatever comes up. It’s rainy and a bit chilly out, so definitely an indoor day.

For the first time in my entire adult life I have visited my sister in a Friday night and we didn’t drink. ODAAT. 79 days today and spending the day with sister and her dogs and fiancé. Grateful :hibiscus:

Distraction is the name of the game for self preservation tonight. My guy is jamming on his drums with his coworker buddy on guitar and I’ll alternate between knitting and watching shows and being peer pressured to mess around on some keys and sing a few covers songs badly. Oh, and frozen pizza saves the day, too. Lots of deep breaths to mask the sighs of exasperation and emotions running the gamut.

Out of curiosity, which ones? Do you have a set that are your go-to’s?

They’re playing mostly 90s/00s rock covers. Last time I sang The Pixies Where Is My Mind, Green Day Longview, a couple Sublime songs, and I think tonight I’ve been requested for Foo Fighters Everlong. My vocal range is limited and I don’t project well but I know the words so I’ve got that going for me :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Maybe I’ll work on building a set, good idea!

Oh and Weezer Undone.

Ever hike to (what’s left) the top? My sisters and Dad did once, I was too hungover to attempt it. I’d like to, one day.

I don’t remember it blowing, I was only 2, but I’ve heard many a stories!!

I’m wrangling my kiddo to bed, then it’s my nightly chat to brother, walk dog, and then looking forward to getting under the covers after for some Netflix and salty popcorn :popcorn:

Working until 9:30 tonight, hoping it’s quiet, reading Elif Batuman in the downtimes and before bed.

It’s my day off before I work the weekend. I’ve done my socializing and shopping for the weekend so the evening will include pizza, the Simpsons and some mild cleaning.

Days off used to be drowning myself in alcohol until I fell asleep. I’ll enjoy tonight sober.

It’s been a day, I’ll tell you what. Kept busy cleaning today and now it’s early evening (7PM). Just had dinner and now relaxing on the sofa. My wife and half the kids are on their way home from a week in NYC, so my single Dad week comes to an end. Ready for some TV/movie and maybe a popsicle.

It’s Friday night and after a crazy busy day, I picked up some Chinese takeout and watched an old movie from 1980 with my hubby. God, movie soundtracks in the late 70s-early 80s were so bad! :laughing:

Now flopping into bed, exhausted and with a bit of a headache, but blissfully sober! And no damn alarm in the morning!
