I feel so much more hopeful despite a relentless headache. I have it because of the lack of sleep and just relaxation—I have it because of lack of HALTS (PJ) so guess what I get to do tonight? Chill. 
I cancelled my haircut and went home. Now making a veggie burger and sweet potato fries and then to relax..at last! It’s raining heavily and I’m home!
Glad you’re doing ok Phoenix.
Thank you everyone. 24 of strength and self care.

I’m in 100% for 24 more! Thank you everyone for the support and encouragement this week. Yes, it has been hard dealing with life on life’s terms, but I wouldn’t change it for the world! Sobriety has favored me the gift of feeling, of being present, of being able to be there for others in their time of great sorrow... that doesn’t happen with a drink in hand...never! Today I can be sad and it’s ok, I don’t need to run in the opposite direction (even though the fleeting thought crossed my mind)!
Reach out, talk it out, love deeply, hug another person today who may be carrying burdens unseen! Much 💕

Another 24 needed today. One. Big. Blah. Caps eliminated in NHL playoffs last night, and in the scheme of real life problems, which many have here including me, it shouldn't really matter. But this morning it SUCKS.
Mini-rant and whine over, and the grounding perspective here is helpful. I'm grateful to be depressed and sober vs a hella hangover to boot!

Then senior nurse checked- other nurse removed 20 sutures from donor site- inner thigh. Other surgeon looked, all happy. Top layer of skin has sloughed off- looks like raw mincemeat- that has been patted down with a fork. My down there area is very sore- very sore. Then assessment by OT for a new glove. The graft has taken well, and the 30 or so stitches have all dissolved now- no more reinforcing bandages (there- I PUT ONE ON HOME, TO PROTECT IT FROM BUMPING), SO THAT IS QUITE SORE AS WELL. and that was in caps and I am tired so staying in caps.... So tiring but good. Then visit to cuz- she gave me linen she had spare- as I do not have much. Then shopping- home, went to check mail and locked myself out. The spare I usually have hidden (and I mean hidden) outside was at a friend's place- who had it for checking my unit when I was in hosp. Went to unit management office not far away (had spare car keys on spare mail box key, with no house key) and got their spare-spare key, all good.
Interesting- my neighbor came out and correctly worked out I was locked out, then proceeded to settle into the rhythm one does when launching into a 'life lesson' story and what SHE does with her spare key.......really what I needed.
Long day, but very productive
