Grateful for central AC....it is 86 outside and i think the humidity is the same! my windows are steamed up from the outside in.
Grateful for a day off and the chance to catch up on chores....no parties or invites, but i work in the AM anyway.
Grateful not to waste my life drinking...I am able to so much more these days...

washing my little dog in silky shampoo, and trimming his long hair, washing the kitchen floor and washing sheets, cos it has been a sweatfest every night despite the AC!

Grateful for planning a NICE dinner....lambchops with pesto and little red potatoes, salad. Life is OK, not great, but i have hope.

and grateful to be able to move with energy...something that booze never gives me.

Grateful for some solid sleep again.
Grateful to have a huge summer outdoor party to go to today. And not be suffering social anxiety because I know most of the people who will be there.
Grateful though there will be lots of alcohol there, I won't be having any. (Just like there will be a moonbounce there, and a waterslide, and I won't be having any of that either!! Lol)
Grateful for nice albeit boiling weather. No wet basement.
Grateful to be able to board the dog so if a showing is scheduled I can relax. (The gathering is out of town.)
