Happy Friday gang.
I had a terrible sleep last night, couldn’t sleep until well past 1AM, woke up at 5:30AM wide awake…
Maybe it’s that I have a million things to do in the one day before I leave on holiday or maybe it was the sudden realization I am now 2 weeks away from my colonoscopy. Either way, I’m currently running on sheer pluck, moxie, and grit.
I’ve made my self a nice cup of coffee and shall now repair to my office for hours of titallating spreadsheet excitement.
Stay beautiful!
These will take you quite a way. And this,
this will take you all the way through. 
Happy friday Hoof!
It’s a lovely rainy, breezy and cool day here today. A welcome respite from the heat and humidity. I have the house opened up and have tackled my “depression room” aka my once zen den. Basically my bonus room (dressing room, craft space, lounge, etc.). What a difference a little decluttering makes! I had not dealt with the pile of items and my work bag after clearing things from my desk after being released from my job. I like the romantic wording of being released, it’s helped me wrap my mind around that whole shocking experience. A weight is lifting as I make that space more zen. Regrets for not doing it sooner don’t help, so I’m grateful to have the energy and will to do it now.
We are having friends over tomorrow for an Independence Day celebration, BBQ and bonfire before my city’s fireworks display at night. They set them off in the empty lot behind our house so we have front row seats. It should be fun. I am making potato salad today, which I haven’t made in years, but I prefer my homemade to any others I’ve tried so I’m looking forward to that. It’s a typical American potato salad but I put my own little flair on it, I guess. After lunch I will run some errands as the rain is supposed to let up for a bit, then I’ll come home and get busy in the kitchen. No big plans tonight other than a light dinner and a movie most likely. Today is a good day.
I’ve been home sick this week but earlier announced my return to work Monday. So this is my weekend proper now. It’s been quite a cold (99% sure given to me by a colleague a bit over a week ago) that is getting better but isn’t quite finished yet. I did an emdr session with my therapist this morning which was good but draining, and biked to a farm to get cheese and eggs and now I’m spent. It was a Friday well spent though.
When I feel up to it I want to bike tomorrow or Sunday morning, but only when I’m good enough. There’s plenty of sports to watch, with the Tour de France 
starting in Italy (yeah), and the round of 16 getting underway in the Euros 
. It’ll be Monday before I know it. Have a good one all! 
Such cute piggies at the farm. I don’t know if I can eat their pork this fall.
All the best for your colonoscopy and don’t let it ruin your holiday!
But you’ll know they lived happy lives treated well. Better than some alternatives, especially here in our mass production animal farms. I try to buy meat from local farms where I know the animals are living good lives seeing sunshine and touching the earth.
I’m glad you got some activity in and can rest now.
I hope everyone is having a great Friday! 
My moving is almost complete. All I need to do is to move myself 
obviously there will be the unpacking, but that’s a whole different business! I really have wonderful friends. Even that seems an understatement. They came and picked up my stuff and drove them 7 hours down south and then took all my belongings into my new apartment. Also I cannot forget to mention my dear friends here, who helped us pack the trailers. They sure played a game of real life Tetris there I’m overflowing with gratitude.
I travel tomorrow. Can’t wait to hang out with my friends and unpack my stuff and spend a great summer.
So happy for you! Enjoy this life transition for all it’s worth.
Homemade potato salad is the best 
I bought potatoes yesterday to make some on sunday.
Sorry you lost your job, sending you hugs.
As I finish friday I can say: Started really good, turned to a internet-hotline AND PC annoyance at noon, I take it easy, cooked yummi food and had a nice evening chatting with a friend and cuddling cats. No fuckery bother my nice friday feeling 
My Halibut opener was successful. We got em! There’s a little part of me that wants to have dinner at the bar so I can brag. Most of the other boats didn’t catch much.
When times are good. People drink. When times are bad. People drink. I know the bar will be full of fisherman today. Its the perfect opportunity for me to brag! 
But I’m going to pass on the bar and stay home where its safe.
I’ve been in a funk and its not worth risking having someone try to buy me a beer.
I feel better today funk wise, but I’m going to play it safe.
Friday night, a good payday and a quiet night in the safety of my alcohol free zone.
Congrats on the success and the wise decision. Sounds like a perfect night to me. 
Happy the opener was successful. I’m happy to hear the funk is lifting and you are still protecting your sobriety. Hope you have a wonderful Friday evening 
Im proud of you for passing on the bar knowing your defenses may be alittle down due to the funk. Protect yourself @JasonFisher
Have an awesome Friday and amazing sober weekend!
Good Morning Matti and all you sober folks!
It’s friday, what are you doing today?
I will try to take it easy today, my wrists and arms hurt from working.
A friend invited me for a chat in the afternoon. I’ll go if I’m not completely knocked out tired from farmwork.
Besides mowing and household I have planned tea with the cats on the balcony, hopefully reading a bit without falling asleep and the furnace has an appointment with the service technician for annual inspection around noon.
Now: Out of bed, the cats want breakfast 
Have a good sober friday folks!
Its 2 am on Friday where I am and I just got off work. I worked overtime this week and work Saturday and Sunday so today, after I sleep, is my day off.
Per usual I might get everything on my to do list done or I might accomplish nothing. I hope to book plane tickers and a hotel for a trip to visit my brother and finish my intro to motorcycle safety online class. Learning to ride a motorcycle is my next bucket list item and I have to finish the online portion before I can register for the fun in person stuff. Equal parts excited and nervous there.
Happy Friday all! 
I think I’m going to see ‘Thelma&Louise’ this evening 
It’s football night with the quarter finals of the Euros under way. I’ll watch Spain - Germany for sure, but as I’m working the weekend I might skip the late kick off match, Portugal - France. I’ll have to stay up for Holland - Turkey tomorrow. And when Turkey wins I’ll be kept awake afterwards by honking Turks in town.
Otherwise I’m looking at jobs to apply for. Want to write at least one letter today. Have a good Friday friends!
The honking horns here are for Portugal. My street is basically all Portuguese and Brazilian (delis, butchers, cafes)…it gets hairy I also have a feeling we might see the big man cry again.
Looking forward to the Spain Vs Germany match a lot!
