Morning housemates! Whose turn is it to make the coffee?

I woke to an empty house this morning as the ex has the dogs for the weekend. Wait, can I call him my ex when we're married but separated and he's pretty clear this is not headed for reconciliation? fml!

On the plus side, the sun is shining and it's a bit warmer, so maybe I'll actually get those plants in the ground today. I was afraid I'd be blown to kingdom come yesterday with all the wind. I should really go for a run this morning, too. And maybe a bike ride later this afternoon.

Morning and evening all,

I look forward to celebrating 3 weeks AF with you H!

How did your planting go Siren? How are you going off the AB? A bit early to tell I suspect.

Laying bricks here, and off to fly across city rooftops as part of my martial arts training. It's not as hard as first appears.

Have a safe, sober and magical week everyone.

You guys are going gangbusters - well done!

I got about halfway done with the planting. My soil is really rocky so it's tough going sometimes. I have tomorrow off, so I'll try to finish up then. I took a break to put together the portable hot tub that I got last week. The water is heating up now - I'll be in it tomorrow night.

Going great without AB, but early days as you say. No real thoughts of AL apart from an occasional fleeting thought that a drink would be nice. But then I remember how much better my stomach has been and how great I've been sleeping and I just think 'Forget it!'. Even if I was the type of person who could have just one - why bother???

No peeking in windows while you're practicing roof-hopping, OK?

Greetings y'all,

Monday evening here and all is well.

How's the hot tub Siren?

Have a safe and sober happy day and evening friends.

Eeeeek!! Forgot all about it! Lemme check. brb

Ahh - 82 degrees. Thanks for the reminder. It will be a treat after a day of planting and cooking. I'm planning to make it a regular part of my evening to help me wind down. I have it in my screened in porch so I can watch and hear nature all around me tucking in for the night. I had thoughts to put a TV in, but I don't think I'll bother.

That sounds very relaxing. I miss having a big bathtub which I was used to lounging around in for years, but that's ok, I've got the bay in my backyard instead. A hot tub is just the best I reckon. Good plan!

I suppose one could have both and that would be incredible. With the situation my marriage is in and him making gods knows what plans that don't include me, I've been thinking about what I want (for a change). It would be so nice to live near the water. I actually started looking on some real estate websites, but not seriously yet. Maybe I'll sell the house and buy a boat and live on that. I can just go up and down the coast whenever I want. Throw out the anchor and take a dip. Better yet, maybe a small house on the bay with a dock for my boat.

Can we have some docks at the house, G?

Docks, boat ramps, we're building the lot. Living on a boat is something I've thought about at times too. I'm definitely getting one for some sailing adventures. In the next couple of years perhaps. A house or any kind of living near the sea is just grand I reckon. Sorry your marriage doesn't sound to be going smoothly. I know a few folks here have experienced, or are experiencing a change when they get sober.

It's good to dream.

Thanks - this has been ongoing, so I'm not sure if me getting sober is the reason. Who knows? He needs his space and I'm giving it to him. But I'm starting to realize that even if he decides he does want to come back that I'm not sure I want to settle for someone who isn't willing to make my needs a priority. I try not to dwell on the negative.

I would love to learn how to sail - my boat experience has been with power boats. I'd also like to learn how to kiteboard - it just looks like so much fun. I'll have to see if I can find somewhere to take lessons when we go to the beach in a couple of weeks. Yes, that's what I'll do. Either sailing or kiteboarding lessons or both.

Yes, yes, do it.

Boating, kiteboarding is a cool exercise in mindfulness in the way that you're focused on keeping the thing afloat etc......

Goodaye G and Siren, Just chiming in to say Hi and hope you have had a nice af day. G, I have read that when a partner gets sober it can cause the relationship to experience problems or even breakdown completely.I guess there are some huge adjustments to be made especially if you have lived with that person a long time. While we are fanticising about boats, my dream is to live on our mighty Murray River in a caravan with a small tinny to get around in Just love the place!! About to hit the sack see you tomorrow.

Umm, I think I should have started saving some money for this a couple of months ago! I'll need to pick just one this year, I think.

Re the mindfulness - yes I need something that keeps my out of my head for a while. That's why I like krav. It's hard to worry about life's challenges when someone is trying to punch you in the head, lol!

Edit: Off for a run. Have a good sleep and catch you later!

Murray river is a great place H. So long and so many cool spots. That's a great dream, and anything's possible when we're sober! Catch you tomorrow.

Have a great run. Lot's of kiteboarding here near me. That sailing course doesn't look ridiculously expensive for the half day sessions if you've got a steady income I suppose.

Take care.

The best of the best of good mornings and evenings to everyone,

Fairly good sleep had here, and it is great to be sober.

Day 16. Bring it on.

L8tr, Yo!
