I am still staying with a friend. Going home tomorrow. I am grateful for my sobriety. More than words can express.

[j-vo]

Pauly, I love the idea of quit buddies!

Thanks for checking in LB. Keep us abreast.

Good to see you LB. I hope that when you return home that its not too disturbing.

Nice to see you Ava.

We went to the party yesterday and it was good to catch up with some people I hadn't seen for a while. Lots of booze and the only AF drink on offer was water. And it got kind of boring and sad to interact with a few drunk people. Cant be judgmental because that was me so often. And I once thought I was witty, clever and a good dancer. Maybe I was - sometimes.
I talked to a drunk young woman who couldn't believe that I used to know her uncle (he was once a 'party animal'). Its like I have two or three or four versions of me. Of course that may have also happened to me because I got old. I just hope I aint too boring these days.
I had a great time at the Farmers Market yesterday - lots of fruit, flowers, plants and it was fun just to soak in the vibe. Afterwards I bought myself some new shoes that I have had my eyes on for sometime - with a $100 reduction, I was sold! The shoes are from Portugal, soft leather, chunky mid-heel, summery. Shoes are expensive in NZ. I felt a wee bit guilty about the purchase but hey, I dont spend millions on AL anymore!
Working today at home though although its Sunday. Things to do.

So weekends can be a mixed bag, sober-wise, but its sure worth it.

Hi Gloamers,

We're celebrating *Valentimes* weekend by catching a play both today and tomorrow...just trying to do something a little bit different and shake things up. The list of error messages I am getting on my computer is starting to become a problem. I think I'm going to have to find someone to fix it. Used Geek Squad once before but wish there were other options. I feel like they tend to blow everything out and reset everything. Only real issue that presents is reloading the software I use, but its a time consuming hassle. Wishing everyone a great day. Happy to hear from you Lil.
Love to all

[j-vo]

Enjoy your plays Jane.

TT, I love to buy shoes, and the older I get, the more expensive are the shoes I buy. Need comfort and fashion!

We won our first playoff game in 4 years. It was a pretty awesome crowd today. So exciting.

[j-vo]

I posted this in the nest. Was feeling a bit 'off' today after the game:

I had a few moments after the stress of the game that I wished I could have a few along with everyone else. Yeah, a little pity party. I managed to eat my pizza and enjoy it with a Diet Coke, pleasant conversation, and instead of doing what I would have done in my drinking days which was get smashed after something like that, I took a nap. My go-to activity when I'm feeling drained. I know that I need lots more time and distance from al, so I won't let this bother me. Of course, even if I did have more time, those thoughts still might happen, but like I've learned, these are just thoughts and they willpass.

[little beagle]

J-vo glad you made it through.
I have to go home today. I just don't want to. He still has 3 weeks before he leaves. Ths is HARD.

[NoSugar]

That sounds really hard, LB. I hope the tension isn't too awful. Thank goodness you're not drinking. That might make it all escalate out of control.

Sleeping or a bath are my great escapes from "life", too, J-vo. And you have a hot tub! I think I would love to have one of those.

Happy :heart: Day, GLoamers and we should all remember to love ourselves today! xx, NS

[j-vo]

NS, yes I need to use the hot tub!!! It's the thought of walking in 0 degree weather (only a few steps) to get into the tub...

LB, does he know where he will go in three weeks? How are you doing?

[NoSugar]

Jane, this article really struck me today. It covers drug interactions. Thankfully you've not experienced anything like this but it is possible that some of your mysterious problems could involve interactions. I hope you're feeling well now.

J-vo he's going to Albuquerque.
I came home and plugged in my nebulizer with some lavender oil. I'm much more relaxed.
