This week stunk mentally and last week on my self care day I took a 12 hour depression nap. Therapy is booked for two weeks out so I am being proactive.
Today is my day off and I will have a delicious breakfast with my sister and a day of shopping. I work Saturday and Sunday.
Keep your heads up all.

Work day accomplished, work week done, kid with friends for the evening. Happy to be headed downtown for my colleague’s book launch. I hope to see many current and former colleagues and students. It’s a bookshop with a bar, but no drinking for me, no matter what else is going on. Happy that I don’t have to think about any of that any more.

I nearly missed the friday thread 
Happy friday sober folks!
My friday is already over, I’m up way too late. And what a friday it was!!!
office work
paying all bills
bank meeting went well
treated myself with sandwiches for lunch
all errands done
survived friday traffic
had a nap back home
enjoyed beautiful weather
laughed a lot 
I missed a birthday party I not really wanted to attend because of menopausal brainfuck. It was today. I thought it’s tomorrow and rescheduled a dinner with a friend to attend it. On my way home today I was pretty surprised that the people awaited me today. Nope, sorry not sorry folks, no chance to get me out of house again and drive to town again when I come home hungry, sweaty, tired and want late lunch, a shower and a nap 
Instead of hanging around proseccofilled women I’m home minding my own business, snuggling cats and reading. To be honest, this feels a lot better

Been a chill sober Friday so far. I was home alone most of the day, (kids at school,.wife’s out of town). It was glorious!
Time for a late lunch and pick up the house a bit.
I think we should do question of the week here in this Friday thread, something fun but thought provoking?
How old were you in your earliest memory?
I distinctly remember the day ny family moved into the house I grew up in, it was my 3rd birthday.
I think I have a partial nemories of possible earler when I was 2, but it cannot be verified.

Dropping by briefly to say happy Friday! My parents are in town staying with us till early next week and we are having a lovely time. It feels good to host them now that the house is in pretty good shape compared to when they and my brother, SIL and 3 yr old niece (now 4) we’re here helping us move and settle in back in early July. We went shopping today and will grab dinner to go from a BBQ place I haven’t tried yet but is getting great reviews. I’m feeling the love! Hope you all are well! Here are some home pic updates

Love this question! 
My earliest memory, is me hiding in our bathroom, at the age of 3, eating strawberries in milk (kinda like a having cereal type of situation). 
I think my mum caught me, and I don’t think I got reprimanded, but all the red juices from the strawberries over my face and shirt gave me away.

Seems 3 is when we fully go online and start uploading to the cloud.

I remember my parents taking me and my baby brother to my informal godfather’s farm starting about the age (also) of 3-4ish. I got the whole farm experience, feeding calves with a bottle almost as big as me, playing with a litter of kittens, picking apples in the orchard and singing along and knowing all the words to Jimmy Buffett songs. They were magical times. But I can’t pinpoint one single memory. They all blur together but it was all around that time. Thanks @HoofHearted for the trip down memory lane.

I cannot remember anything from before my father died. And even afterwards, it’s flu. Maybe one scene in kindergarten. I was 5 and it really makes me sad and frustrated that I cannot remember any tiny fucking thing of before.

Love this question. I have foggy memories from before, but a definite memory is my baby sister being born when I was 2y 3m. I don’t remember her weirdly, but clearly remember showing my Nanny my drawers which were labelled ‘socks’, ‘tops’ etc. Clearly it was still all about me at that age
Beautiful house, or should I say home, @RosaCanDo I could be very relaxed and comfortable there.
Just to say Nanny as in Grandmother, we didn’t have staff growing up!

Good Morning on this fabulous sober Friday!
Well, it’s 5.30 am here so the “fabulous” refers to waking up because Missi clawed my foot to play with 
and I’m awake & feeling well rested
What are your plans for Friday the 13th?
As I refer to friday the 13th as my lucky date, I plan to enjoy the day. The weekly housecleaning, fetch the catfood delivery from the post office, run errands, spoil the cats, do some urgent officework I procrastinated this week, enjoy watching the ex working on the stone wall if he shows up, start to store firewood in the cellar if possible.
I start with cuddling cats as they purr around me
Have a wonderful sober friday folks!

Happy Friday
It’s 6:30h and I’m kinda well rested, I’m sleeping better the last nights. Train is cancelled again. I check them at home and the app said everything is okay. Now I’m at the train station and miraculously: no train. I love it. SWB and DB, both are a catastrophe.
I’ll work til 2pm today, then running errands as every Friday.
Dunno what to cook 
Always this struggle as an adult about what to cook 
Have a beautiful day friends
