Good morning, Kiki and Thirteenth!

Kiki, you're a dork. Give us homework today, our group has been too quiet.

Thirteenth, good to see you. Hope you get your internet issues solved soon. You are missed when you're not around.

Bobbie - The HP book is good so far. Hard to adjust to reading the play format though, haha!

Hubs and I have a day date planned this Sunday and we haven't done that in a long, long, long time. Maybe a few days ago I envisioned a romantic picnic with a bottle of crisp white wine. But not now. And really, I don't know why I pictured something like out of the Bachelor, lol. Thinking about a ropes course and/or biking instead.

I honestly miss the Harry Potter characters. lol

I think a ropes course sounds awesome. Might steal your idea!

Day 153. In a row!

Just a quick check-in as I'm working all day today and gotta get moving. Hope everyone has a safe and sober Friday. Remember you don't have to take that first drink today no matter what is going on in your life.

Finally got a good nights sleep last night. Walked 2.75 miles today instead of driving to pick up the kids we walked it was a nice walk. Day 8 without a drink and day 3 without smoking and finally feeling ok with all the changes. More tired today than the last few days so taking it easy today. Only half day school today so I'm already dealing with AV now Friday's are always hard for some reason. My thing now is walking and riding my bike so if I want to go to the store I won't drive. So it makes me not want to go lol problem solved for drinking and smoking at the moment lol. I won't drink today I have been doing great and am finally starting to feel better
