OK so i feel like iā€™ve been in a fog! ā€” itā€™s now coming up on Friday again and my brain says WTF ā€“ how was Emilieā€™s weekend adventure. Did i miss you talking about it?

I do hope you had a wonderful time and didnā€™t have to see too many dead turtles. :heart:

@Planipennia Matti, you are always an early bird :grin: Happy friday! Yeah, tomorrow is equinox. Iā€™ll celebrate with fumigating the house and watching sunrise :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::yellow_heart:

Good morning sober folks!
What are you doing today?

Iā€™ll have a busy day with several appointments and run some errands.
So Iā€™m already happily looking forward to coming home after a productive day :blush:

Have a happy sober friday!

Good morning, happy Friday everyone.

Autumn is definitely in the air, I am really enjoying it. Nature is really helping me through sobriety this time. Back to basic connection.

Today the plan is work until lunchtime (it is my half day) and then free time until the kids get home. I recently increased my hours so work longer hours the rest of the week so now when I reach Friday it feels like a wonderful bonus half day. Last week I walked with my husband before work, gym after and then a nap. In the middle of a chronic fatigue crash so it may have to be more of a self care day. Happy Friday all!

@JennyH Happy Friday from Down Under :kangaroo: :koala:!

Itā€™s Spring here and the weather here in Melbourne is always a mixed bag, but we are finally getting some sunny days. Exercising again is so great, isnā€™t it? Today I enjoyed 90mins walking in the sun. On Tuesday I enjoyed 3 hours and 15min walking in the sun and rain hahha I saw these cute wild ducks too, which was a nice bonus! xo

Happy Friday, and yes to exercise! Cute ducks :heart_eyes: I love spring, that bit where you emerge from winter.

My Grandad was from Australia and he always said Melbourne was his favourite place. I would love to visit some day. Only ever made it to NSW and that was beautiful.

@JennyH Melbourne is pretty great, but the weather is all over the shop! We have to be prepared for cold in Summer and warm in Winterā€¦ always carry an umbrella and wear layers so you can strip off or warm up :rofl:

I can get that randomness in England :rofl: Seriously though, would love to see it!

@JennyH I lived in England for 5 and a bit years! I remember arriving in early February and it was SO cold, as we left Heathrow and went to the car I literally thought ā€˜this can NOT be a place, how is this weather even possibleā€™! Haha

This has been a whirlwind week and I cannot believe it is already Friday! A good, productive week, however the last day and a half I have been feeling ill, apparently picked up the 24ish hour bug my husband had a few days ago. Nothing serious, mostly body aches, joint pain, hot feeling behind the eyes, lethargic and so on. I took yesterday afternoon off to rest and then I slept super hard last night. I feel much better this morning, just a bit achy. I will listen to my body today and get through a few tasks on my list but I donā€™t want to push myself too much.

My husband turns 45 this Wednesday so the birthday festivities will start this weekend! So far we are focused on food :rofl: and what special meals we will plan. Definitely fancy sushi one night, and he wants to smoke a pork roast for pulled pork. Iā€™m definitely going to be spending time in the kitchen this weekend. I also offered to bake him a cakeā€¦I donā€™t know when I last baked a cake from scratch! Iā€™m sure it will turn out fine. :grimacing: We have to decide when we want to have what, the challenges of having a birthday midweek. Weā€™ll continue festivities next weekend also and have some friends over. All fun stuff. I really do love birthdays! And celebrating my best friend is one of my favorite things to do. Doing all of this sober is a joy, no worries about fucking up an important meal or a special cake! No stressing how much Iā€™ve had to drink and whether Iā€™m making a fool of myself in front of guests. Etc, etc. Thank goodness thatā€™s all in the past and the shame of those memories doesnā€™t sting as much as it used to.

Wow - I went off the deep end on this post! Sorry!

Happy Friday, amigx. Hope you all have a good one.

Iā€™m on my way home, it was stressful at work although we hadnā€™t as many patients as we usually have on a friday.
The Dr and most of the assistants have next week and the following Monday and Tuesday off but Iā€™m in the office with a coworker.
We try to somehow catch everything up what we missed the last weeks. Spoiler: we wonā€™t be able to, Iā€™m sure. Itā€™s too much.
My mood is good but here are kids everywhere around me. Those kids are loud, messy, throw stuff aroundā€¦and their momā€™s kinda gave up :worried:
My nerves :grimacing::grimacing::grimacing:

Guess I had an okay day. At work. And then went to the gym for the first time in some years. Overwhelming but I wore my new running shoes and went on the treadmill for 5k and they were comfy my new shoes.
I registered for a Zumba class next week. Thatā€™ll be fun having to left feet and no coordination at all :see_no_evil:
