Tops, that's great news. I always feel a bit sorry when I wish everyone a great weekend, knowing you're often working, but now you'll be joining us on Sunday 
I have some visitors coming for lunch today, so I'll need to clear up a bit here this morning. I'm not good at feeding people - soup is my main offering, but it's a bit odd in mid summer! If all else fails we can go and forage for some roots and berries in the garden I suppose.
I try to discourage summer visitors (except the swallows of course)
Have a great day all.

Top that schedule sounds so much better- I hope it works out!
Free- I need to remember your company dinner plans for the next time I have uninvited guests
Mariah- sounds like you'll be able to get some rest and I'll be praying for your family ❤️
Noolan up and everyone - hope y'all have a great sober wed! I always wake up feeling so accomplished that I have stayed sober ... Then the night comes ... Thanks for the encouragement. It really helps !

Izzy, the evenings will get better, believe me. I thought I'd always have that craving when I prepared dinner, but I can't imagine wasting an evening with alcohol now. You're doing great, just keep on with your mission and remember that your AV is cunning, it will try to catch you unawares. But you're on a roll now so it has no chance!
I often wonder why my visitors keep coming back after experiencing my culinary offerings. Perhaps they imagine that one day something other than soup will be on the menu. If that is the case, I fear they may be worn down by the inevitable disappointment.
Obo, 5 weeks - fabulous!
Almost the weekend, I'm in for the Bargain.

Just put in some new Saltillo tiles ... Learned the hard way that they must be pretreated before being grouted ... Oh well- now I know! It's funny how all those house projects suddenly get finished when we're getting ready to leave ...
Free- you must make a mean soup! That sounds very fall-ish and I am definitely ready for fall weather and festivities
If Obo is 5 weeks, I must be around 4. Yay fools!

Fabulous on 5 weeks Obo & 4 for you Izzy!!
Mean soup & great company I'm sure Free
So glad your going to be getting a better schedule TS, that will be a good thing!
Another late night for me here....took most of the day off today & got a lot done here at home that so needed done. I didn't realize how unorganized I've let things get around here & the medication for depression & anxiety is helping so much. I didn't realize I was in such a funk until I started feeling better.
Hope you all have a great Friday

Obo, congrats on the 5 weeks!
I've been doing guiding meditations on YouTube recently and this hippie this morning was going on about swimming in a lagoon and discovering a tortoise there. The tortoise is a land dwelling reptile, hippie! Besides that is was helpful.
Today was a good day. I completed training with one of the higher grades and now have a job through January. I have to grind to try to get a permanent job, but one thing at a time. Not feeling like a workout, but I took a rest day yesterday, so I best practice what I preach. Have a great day and/or night!

Well, before life on the farm ... I thought a pony was a baby horse and there was some confusion about roosters vs chickens lol ...
Yes, top- were all in awe at how nice things now look. Unfortunately, we didn't wait long enough to walk on the tiles so I have to regrout a couple ... !?
And there's a big stain on my carpet I can't get out ... Any ideas?
Hey but I'm sober! Count me in for the bargain
By the way free- mean soup means yummy- do y'all say that wayyyyyyyy over there?

Happy Saturday, fools! Strange urge to buy bourbon came over me this morning at the store. I'm not sure if it's because of having a job and things feel like they are moving forward after not working for 7 months or what. That said, I "played the tape through" like they taught me at sober summer camp, AKA rehab and I recalled I know how this ends up.
It was effective, though. All my relapses over the past two years have been on an impulse. I know some say relapse starts well before the day it happens; however, for me it's always been a sudden thought and action. Glad this time is different. I know what picking up does. It means there is no tomorrow. I'm fixated on how I feel that moment and maintaining that feeling until I pass out and repeat in the morning.
Anyways about to grab breakfast with a friend and then might just lay low today. It's been an arduous week. Glad I'm sober and glad I'm on this path.
