I woke up early and organized more things and did oodles of laundry so there is less chaos. Talked about the issue at work with a few people.

It helps.

Going to a baseball game later, taking a rest for now so feel up to it.

Love to you all❤️

Congrats Free and Getting Closer and Bumblebee!!! Your not quite the last bumblebee Lol...think that might be me on 11th June as had a relapse at the end of May a week before I went to rehab.

So proud of everyone and I couldn’t have asked for a better bunch of classmates to share the milestone with xx

Congratulations Bumblebee! You really are part of this wonderful class of May ❤️
Things will get better Free. Nothing ever stays awful forever. Sending you a big hug of support.
Yeah I was going to say Solly and Manta too. There may be a couple of others pop back in occasionally too

We really do have a wonderful class—we are so supportive —and the backbone of it all, Dee74,Makes it all wonderful.😍

I truly truly would not be where I am today without all of you.

Only nine more days Manta, you can do this!

The only thing I can do about my job situation is to do my best and try to change My coworkers perception of my work ethic.

I cannot change that I was involved in my relocation and had to answer phone calls and inquiries etc.

I cannot change that my focus was diverted to all of the issues surrounding my relocation. And I cannot change that they are not tolerant of it even though they are the ones that picked me to be relocated.

I can only move forward and do my best to be alert and get verbal and nonverbal cues from them and try to be the best coworker I can be.

Positive vibes sent my way that I will have the ability to do this would be appreciated—Certainly a year ago I would’ve just thrown in the towel without trying or I would have drank myself into oblivion to try to numb the feelings of discomfort Rather than try to succeed.

Thanks everyone

You can do this Free. Sending loads of positivity your way to help you turn the situation around into one of mutual respect. Time eases things and I’m sure you can mend the bridges. I believe it will work out ok for you. You put in so much effort to get there, now you can refocus your effort into the areas that need it at work and it will settle into a better working relationship with your coworkers

I finished my class this morning by working from 3-5 a.m. to write my final essay for the course. I have started a new course that is going to be very challenging with a lot of reading to be done, but I am happy to keep going with my studies.

I got my eyes checked out today, and they are fine. I need to pick out a new set of frames to have a backup pair of glasses. I only have one pair now, and I am the Destroyer of eye-wear, LOL.

As you can read, things are pretty much steady as she goes right now, and that's just fine with me.

Awesome Guener!

Thanks for the nice comments guys, it’s nice to have friends even if I’ve never met you 🥰

Went hiking today in the San Juan‘s mountains, it was really beautiful. Guener, you might know where this is it was in Ouray, CO

Not sure why the pics are not coming out Free - maybe spread them out over a few posts?

I had to look up where Ourray, CO is, Free, because I've never been there, but I see it's not far from Telluride. It certainly is a lovely area. Keep up those hikes, it's good for you to remember how much the new area has to offer you.

Wow Free, that looks amazing! So beautiful! It’s good to get out in nature and be active to remind us about who we really are

I’m glad you’re enjoying the study Guener I deferred my studies when my parents passed away last year and I don’t think I’ll go back to it. However I am enjoying researching areas of my own interest and reading. I’m also enjoying reading about recovery and self-development.

I don’t know how to link to another post, but Dee put up a post about Brene Brown: what being sober has meant to me, which is great, and I’m going to get her book Daring Greatly

Today was so long at work, there was almost nothing to be done, and I just kept getting sleepy headed.

I guess it's a luxury, really, to be working and yet have a bit too much free time on my hands.

Mom is continuing to improve through extra calories and in getting some things done around the property, with lots of help, that she has had on her list of to-do's for some time.
