3 weeks and 3 good things.

Well after a particularly horrible few days of feeling like hell some good things are taking shape here on my side of the pond. First off today is 3 weeks sober. Still kinda gets me down knowing I would be on the verge of having 5 months sober now if not for that unfortunate but in it's own weird way necessary little relapse. I've lived and learned and moving on from that and luckily the lesson is still pretty fresh in my head. So that's good, almost got another full month under my belt again.

2nd back in February my buddy Jake my Black Lab dog passed away. And anyone who knows me personally knows I still talk and get bummed out by his early passing, he was only 7 but I only had him for 2 of those years while the first 5 he was my neighbors dog but while they didn't treat him bad, they didn't treat him well either. Mostly just left him outside and neglected him. So I made friends with him and he always came up to the fence to see me when I was out and I would throw him over treats. Sometimes he would get out of the yard and when he did he made a straight line to my house to see me. Thinking back hell I could of brought him ion and chances are the neighbors probably wouldn't of cared. So anyway he was a great dog and I took his passing pretty hard. Well anyway my Mom and Sister were out Sunday shopping and they ran across a guy selling black lab pups. So as a surprise they decided to spring this little bundle of joy upon me!

That's about the best picture I can get of her so far, at least where I can get her to be awake and sit still for a while. Her names Freyja after the Norse Goddess and she's a handful. I swear she want's to make sure I get as little sleep as possible!

And thirdly after 1 year, 1 month, 1 week and 1 day (believe those odds) I'm at last a full time working man again! Oh I took a few crappy temp jobs on the side in that time but for the majority of that time I've been idle which can make you climb the walls! I dream of not having to work for a living one day but seriously I would probably get to bored! Anyway this is a old company I use to work for and it just so happen to be luck of the draw that I called the moment a opening came available. I was luckily in their good graces when I left. It's not a flashy job and I'll be working nights but hey I'll take it, at least I can take it and let out a sigh of relief, I don't know how much longer I could draw on unemployment for. But now I can work here build myself back up and then take my time while I eventually try to find something better.

So yea things are pretty good here right now, 3 weeks and 3 good bits of news!
