What have you done today?
I have been yard saling, cleaned my whole house and now we are about to start grilling salmon and corn outside. I think I am going to go grocery shopping after we eat.
I am still so darn antsy though. This is day 18 for me. Tell me it gets better! I feel like I need to be doing something at all times.
Oh, and we took our dog to the park and went swimming.

I heated quiche for breakfast (previously frozen from a double-batch I made a few weeks ago), and then studied and did homework and studied and did homework. Wrote a paper on E.G. Poe. I played with my dogs, and then . . . homework. Now I'm going to start the lawn sprinkler and watch TV. Pretty exciting, eh?

I went to a nursery -- looked at plants. Went to Academy to find a hammock (no luck). Went with my mom to look at open houses (neither of us are in the market for a new home). Watched pre-season football. Watching a movie now. About to go to my parent's house for dinner. Good Saturday.
It's the night time that gets to me, though. Day 6!

I went to my aunt's about a 2 hr drive for the night. So my grams could visit. Stopped at the many farmers stands on the way home and got some seriosly big, fresh and cheap produce. Got 2 free twin box springs on the way home too for my king bed I got a few weeks ago. Got home and went shopping with my cousin for stuff. Cooked and ate some of the corn on the cob we ought today. It was fantastic. I felt a little rushed this morning cause I was bored way up in the mountains. But on the drive home, It was so beautiful driving all those back country roads..I couldnt help but slow down and relax. Take in the views and just be in the moment.
It does get easier. After some time you will be ok with just doing nothing sometimes. Either that or you will tire yourself out and wont have any other choice.
I have been real busy lately myself. That is really out of my regular routine. I usually just work and come home and flop. But the past month or so. I have been so busy all the time. I kinda like it. Its new for me. But I do like my down time too. And just staying in the moment can be hard. But it gets easier and is so calming.

I once heard someone at a meeting say basically, "if you can answer the question of what you have done today for your recovery then you have a much better chance of staying sober today." That stuck with me and it seems to make good sense. I talked to my sponsor, went to a meeting, went on SR, and called a couple friends in the program. Of course I did other fun stuff too but that wouldn't be possible without the progam stuff.
everything is already ok
