Played Super Mario Bros. Got to level 7-4 before succombing to fake bowser’s dirty tricks. My 13 yr old son had never seen someone speed run it like I did. Told him, many hours spent as a kid in front of the TV really paid off.

Whoop whoop everybody listen it’s friday 
Okay not everywhere but here it is 
Last day of work today before my 3 weeks off. We have a lot of patients today so it’s going to be stressful again.
Yesterday we had a situation where I had to admit to my team that I’m not able to do the angiographies any more as the tiny dark room full of people gives me panic attacks.
There have been some dropping chins and rolling eyes. It was uncomfortable at first but today I feel better. It’s out. I’m out 
So what’s on your to-do list today fam?

Happy Friday, and how exciting to have 3 weeks off! Hope it isn’t too stressful.
I have work, then picking my daughter up from her school trip (she went Monday), then my second Couch 2 5k run. I am hoping for a really yummy dinner too 
This evening will probably be more comfort TV, and maybe some nice snacks. We will have my daughter in our room tonight as family are staying so really looking forward to an evening with her.

My day has already changed. No running in this heat. Not a fan of excuses but 30 is just too hot for only my second run. My daughter is home now though so will spend the time with her

Finally some beautiful and less blisteringly hot weather here yesterday and today! It has me feeling a lot better. I’m enjoying having the house opened up and a cool breeze coming through. Today I am continuing cleaning up after my family’s visit and also slowly unpacking my garage filled with boxes! No stressing allowed! Ok, maybe just a bit at times. But nothing too terrible. I can see progress and that helps. Preparing to go get our cars registered in this state and get our new licenses tomorrow morning so we need to gather our documents. Hoping to cook a lighter meal tonight, maybe something Asian fusion style. My husband is heading out on Sunday for a week long work trip so I’m mentally preparing for that and the things I need to do while he is gone. It’s something I need to work on, handling time alone and not letting routines fall by the wayside or let depressive tendencies go without being proactive.
I will be OKAY! 
Happy Friday!

It is exciting, happy for you! Planning helped somewhat but really taking things a day at a time, just like recovery, helped me tremendously. When I started having anxious feelings I made myself reframe them in my mind and remind myself that the moving part is hard but it’s temporary and this big life change is going to lead to great opportunities to make house a home. If feeling overwhelmed, I took a break and walked away for some breathing and grounding exercises. Problems arise and it’s okay, too! You’ll get through it. Write out a plan knowing that sometimes the plan has to change last minute. I tried to be organized but ultimately there are always boxes of random things grabbed up at the last minute. I’ve moved so many times in my life but this was a big one with a house full of stuff. But when you start seeing progress, take those moments as a win! Don’t be afraid to get rid of things, it’s just stuff, after all.
Hang in there! You can do this and do it sober!

Many thanks…I’m going to print out a calender I can scratch notes on. We’ve got so many appts, and calls to still manage. Hope you’re settled soon. Thinking of you and all your plants.

Thank you! The plants are all doing well here so far but still have lots of rearranging to do. The calendar is a great idea! I also plugged appts and deadlines into my phone calendar with alerts to go off a few days before and the day of to keep me organized. I still have to close out all our utilities at the rental but need to do a final walk through with the landlord and it’s not quite finished being cleaned yet, so I hear you on lots of things to keep track of! And changing my address on all my current accounts, credit cards, etc., uf! But we’ll get there! Which reminds me…I need to call the water softener rental place today!!

Day 6. Off to a Dr appointment to kinda check in after my relapse. A big part of my drinking has to do with anxiety (among other things that ADD to my anxiety). I’ve been on Prozac for nearly 8 years. At first it was amazing and probably saved my life. Recently, after talking to people around me for outsider insight, I’ve wondered if maybe it’s wearing off, since little things are severely affecting me. I also had a Dr mention this a few months back. My recent relapse occurred partially over a couple minor upsets that normally wouldn’t have thrown me so far off. I dunno. I know I got a lot of work to do outside of just taking meds…but it’s worth discussing anyway with my GP. I’m nervous, as I always am with even nice doctors, but I’m just trying to take care of myself the best that I can.
Ending on a cute note…this cheered me up though…look who stole my pillow…

I’m late to the friday thread today. A stomach bug hit me in the morning. It’s ok now but I’m feeling exhausted.
Did some chores and sorting in the evening, easy does it. Will be in bed soon but expect a rough night. The ex will fetch his belongings tomorrow. My poor nerves are in bad shape.
My cats loved the yoga mat today so I had some good laughs

Friday. Me and Hubby picked up our new sofa and grill. Evening shift at work. Mainly ok but there was a guy who came in to the store already pissed off and then took the piss out of two colleagues of mine without any reason. I guess he felt entitled. Meh.

Friday here and my head feels kind of off. I don’t work today because I work the weekend so I slept late and that helped a bit. I will set my sights on vacuuming the house, grocery shopping and maybe cooking a good meal and I’ll see if I surprise myself.
