Any big plans for the first day of March??

4 Likes

Actually my only plan was Nachos and Salsa in from of the tv tonight.

But the sun came out so I dragged the family outdoors (they’ve been inside having a cold for the past 1,5 weeks) to check out spring flowers. We saw snowdrops and what’s starting to be a crocus flower.

Then we took a small car ride to the neighbor village and bought some Fika (That means cookies)

Now there’ll be some dinner, and then I’ll turn my Nachos and Salsa plan into reality :blush:

Happy Friday gang!

I got an offer yesterday from the place I interviewed at last Monday. It’s 25% more than I’m making now, and 13% more after state income tax. More money, but there are a lot of buts that go with it.

My current job had a leadership purge and new leaders are now coming in. I met the new CEO yesterday and I really like her. She is fine with my work from home arrangement that I had with the previous leaders, so my fears and uncertainties have been quelled.

So now I have a lot to think about this weekend.

Beyond that, gonna put together some reports for the new CEO and continue rocking sobriety!

Awwww, rainy friday was wonderful! Reading, eating, heating the wood stove, being lazy on the couch, chatting with a friend. And doing zero chores, nada, niente :grin:

I love the plan of nachos and salsa. Sounds very chill.

@HoofHearted I’m glad the new leadership quelled your fears. Good luck with your choice making!

My Friday will be an exciting mix of doctor appointment, errands, and housework so that I can either go to bed early or stay up way too late playing video games. Its a coin toss which. :laughing:

I am nestling into a cozy Friday over here. Its my first full day back from another trip on my two weeks off. I am going to go sell some books back to a used book store and then I have to return my rental car.
Maybe pizza for dinner and lots of light cleaning, organizing, and relaxing. I have Saturday and Sunday off too before I go back to work on Monday so I am just concentrating on enjoying my time and getting my head back into my productivity mode. Happy Friday to all my fellow soberinos.

My friday is coming to an end soon…finally ate dinner. Its been productive and got better as it went.

22.0 months sober today! Everyday counts but monthly milestones are always a nice reminder to reflect.

Got to work from home, yay

Got a good workout in before work, burned 100extra calories

Still dealing with racing thoughts, brain fog, difficulty concentrating so it was nice to have a meeting free day and work at my own pace

Did my 2nd c25k run! 10.5min mile pace intervalin for 2miles

Babysat for my niece and nephews (my sister hasnt trusted me like this for years) yay progress

Cooked a healthy dinner instead of ordering pizza.

Im in a time of flux with my sobriety journey/routine, workout goals, and was presented with the question of what does living authentically look like for you. I dont know that answer. Just gonna put that question in my pocket until i have the brainpower.

Trying not to overbook my weekend in my mania and be in the present but boy is it fucking hard.

What are you doing today?

I’m half through the morning with the weekly house cleaning and will turn to repot the seedlings soon. Before I have to run errands. Reading time is scheduled for later in the afternoon. No plans for friday evening, I’m good with the usual cat-couch arrangement :grin:
Have a nice sober friday!

Did some grocery shopping. We planned to try out the new bbq grill but we postponed that until tomorrow. So today I plan to go for a walk and soak up all the sunlight I can. Besides that I have my usual Friday Plan that includes Nachos Salsa and cartoons :blush:

TGIF! Feels good to say that at the end of a workweek lately. I’m sure it will get old with a twinge of bitter eventually :rofl: Hope not. I got a bit of sleep last night and I feel much more rested this morning and ready to take care of business.

The spring rain has finally arrived, we needed it and I hope it brings green things. I work until 1 and then will be hoping for a break in the rain that we are supposed to be getting so I can walk Lupe. Then groceries and kitchen time. I have so many house chores to catch up on and I want to front load that work so I have more free time later this weekend. So later today will be some laundry and general cleaning. Not bad for a rainy day. Rain ends tonight and I’m looking forward to sunny skies this weekend!

Happy Friday all! It’s a work day for me and I work the weekend so I had my weekend yesterday. I took a long walk, browsed art at our local Art Center, ate delicious onion rings from a place I hadn’t been to in 20 years (same with the Art Center, time flies when you’re glued to a bar stool), shopped a bit, read parts of two great books, took a nap, cooked homemade minestrone and a pork loin and finished the day with a semi scary movie called The Hole in the Ground.

2 years ago my answer would have been
a: got drunk or
b: slept off a hangover

Ever forward all. Happy Fridays!
