Well, I’m riding a dangerous tide. Didn’t go swimming or run, my hormones saw to that 
Discussed drinking, felt it grip my soul… Fought like hell. Settled for a vape instead, which I know isn’t ideal, but it happened and I’m sober.
I’m hanging on 
lasagne helping. Cats helping.
That was close.
Lasagna always helps as far as im concerned. Well done.
A person can never go wrong with lasagna. Garfield the cat swears by it, so I believe.
Well you kids all have fun tucked away watching a movie, or snuggled up with lasagna, I am off to sit in an ice cold rink (and not just for tonight but tomorrow night as well, yeehaw what a time)
Calling for 10cm (4 inches to my American friends) so the drive home could be interesting. Only an hour each way to my son’s home rink so we’ll have to bundle up.
You all enjoy a sober and safe evening, and make sure ya plan to get to gym tomorrow or a nice morning walk (if posssible) to get the blood pumping.
Till tomorrow, wish you all the best of nights.
Say a heartfelt fuck off to your hormones, I cheer on you 
Your plate looks sooo good, enjoy your full tummy. Tomorrow it’s easier, keep going 
Thank you. Yeah I’ll try again tomorrow with some self care. Tonight is about being easy and staying clean.
Some days it’s enough to put a sober head on the pillow. Perfectly enough 
'Sup gang!
The highlight of the day and week, my wife finally had an interview for her dream job, at her dream company that she applied for over a month ago.
She said it went really, REALLY well. They actually went 15 minutes over as they were deep in conversation; that’s a good sign probably.
Anyways, we hope this bears fruit as the pickings are slim for her.
Right now, I’m taking Penny to her 2nd dentist appointment ever for a checkup and cleaning. She’s scared but I’m being brave for her, so its ok for her to be a little scared. 
No plans this evening. Gonna just hang out at home, maybe write a song? Who knows.
Love me a skinny braid!!
Sending positive juju to Penny and most especially to your wife. 
Penny is the cutest and bravest big girl. Hey I still get scared shit when going to the dentist. Glad her daddy will be right by her side.
Sending positive vibes for your wife.
Decided that today is the start of my birthday week 
My bday is Wednesday and my husband leaves on a work trip Sunday morning, he’ll be back late Friday night. Then we are going to Madison, WI for an overnight visit next weekend in celebration. But that means I will be alone on my birthday for the first time in my life. I am working through some sad feelings around that, especially considering I don’t have any good friends IRL here where I live where I can make my own plans. So I will plan some fun things for me to do on my own this week and maybe watch my favorite chick flicks (the BBC miniseries of Pride and Prejudice comes to mind!) on the day along with special treats, something I wouldn’t do if my husband was here but that I enjoy. I have to do some shopping for work appropriate clothes, too, and I have all week to space it out, considering I really dislike shopping for clothes! It will be okay and I will make good use of the solo time.
Tonight, though, we are headed to a bar that has an arcade in the basement. With all sorts of vintage games as well as traditional arcade games like skee-ball and air hockey. I love going there! We are meeting up with some friends, I think this group of my husband’s coworkers that did trivia night with us over the summer at a bar may very well be turning into a friend group. It certainly is a quirky bunch, engineers are quirky, at least these guys are, and one guy sometimes brings his wife, who I am starting to become friends with ISH, heavy on the ish. She and I might have too much in common if that makes sense She just had her birthday a week or so ago so we’ll celebrate both. I’m grateful I can go to places that serve alcohol these days and not be phased by it, at least not until drunk people around us start getting obnoxious. The wife/friend I mentioned also doesn’t drink so that’s nice, all the other guys do but they usually keep it to a full roar. Anyway, off to play some games! Enjoy your Friday, friends/amix!
Hope her appointment went without a hitch! Pediatric dentists are very special people. And sending all the good vibes to your wife on that position!!!
What a cutie! And Dad ain’t looking half bad either. So wonderful you are present and able to support her. Score one for long-term sobriety!!
@tragicfarinelli That lasagna looks delicious. Great work on fighting those urges and fuck those damn hormones! Hope you enjoyed your day 
@chevy55 hope your son’s games went well. Be safe driving home.
@hoofhearted OH that is great news – hope your wife hears back soon and its good news. Hope the dentist goes well – that is a lovely picture with beautiful smiles 
@rosacando Love the kick off for a birthday week! Happy early birthday Rosa! Sounds like a lovely way to celebrate tonight. Hope you are having a wonderful time!
Hello, one and all,
Have a nice Friday and a gorgeous weekend!
Happy sober friday folks!
What are you doing today?
I hope for a smooth day. Still in bed without cats at the hotel. Coffee with chosen family after breakfast. Picking up my nice after school, she’ll stay with me over the weekend. A nap after the drive. Early to bed. Sounds like a perfect day to me 
I’ve finished work, put a new deck drive belt on the mower and mowed some lawn, showered, and now it’s dinner time and maybe a movie.
Choice day
Happy Friday folks! 12 hours of work separate me from my day off. I am freakishly excited about rearranging my bedroom and cleaning the house. Its needed. Music on, windows open this weekend will be good for my brain. I need to clear out the physical and metaphorical cobwebs. 
Stay clean all.
Have a fantastic Friday all!
I plan swim then run. I want this to happen this week so badly as it sets the tone nicely!
I am making mexican food tonight!
Football over the weekend planned.
Kitten play, will make them some elaborate fort to fight in.
Maybe some sorting/ sorting cleaning also!
Want to walk along my favourite ever walk in London on Sunday… Start the outside of Holland park and walk thru that, visiting the Kyoto garden, thru the back streets of High Street Kensington and into Kensington gardens. Along the side of the round pond and the Italian gardens, past Peter Pan and the arch viewing the palace. Admiring the Egyptian geese and parakeets and hundreds of dogs… Walk back past old Albert memorial and on the way back visit the farmers market and get that perfect Ethiopian coffee flat white 
Eat well, love well and be thankful
Have a good one 
Glad for sunshine later today. Want to sweep off patio and clean up perennials. Maybe begin sorting some closets. Pull out warm weather clothes and pack up some heavy ones. No where to be today. Yeah!
