Welcome 3 trees 
congrats to everyone hitting a milestone today and my best wishes thoughts and prayers to those who have lost people they love.
I found the early weeks a challenge because it was almost as if, not having felt for a long time, the dam burst and I felt things intensely for a while.
I stuck to my commitment not to drink and things got better

Back after a 3+ hour nap. My oldest son just came in my room and turned on Lion King, it is our comfort movie. He was the only one of my kids to go to the memorial. He is my rock.
He made me decide totally today that I am done smoking too. The best friend of my Uncle chain smoked the whole time we where there (outdoors/scattered ashes). And my son struggled to stay away from it. I never smoke in the house or car. But as much as he hates it I need to stop, he deserves the best me possible.
My late Mom's husband is a pastor and "officiated" the memorial. He said a few things that touched some nerves. Such has "well Citrus has lost everyone". I really have from that side of my family and I've been dealing with it. It just hit me hard for him to say it outloud infront of people. And then a few other things that weren't very tactful. But I will get over it and best to do it sober.

Today was a lazy day. Carved pumpkins with some friends, something I haven't done in years. I opted for the classic face--triangle nose & eyes, and a big toothy grin. Was fun and cheered me a bit. Then came home and took a forever nap which I guess I needed.
Tomorrow some of my goals are to do 30 min in the gym, take the pup for a nice walk, and bust out my big jug to start my water-drinking regimen again. I have this bottle that has the time increments marked off so it keeps me on track. I always feel better when I up my water intake and I've been eating like crap lately, so it's going to help with the bloat too.
Determined to start making some small, positive changes. My therapist has been away so I've been sort of venting here, it helps and I hope you guys don't mind.

Glad you got through the day safe and sound, Citrus.

Just popping in to say hello on a beauty of a morning in NE-PA.
I think after today, the weather is going to turn and fall will actually be here. The weather is not as predictably as it used to be, so who knows.
It's hard to believe that the leaves hang on longer every year.
So, have a nice day everyone!
33.42 D.O.S so far today!
