New shoes make me happy too, SG.
I hope everyone had a good day, mine was really nice. Hiked in our woods, had friends and family here for my daughter’s 24th birthday. My sister came over with her grandkids. It was just a great day. Feeling grateful.
For a moment, before everyone arrived, I thought about the parties we used to have. Lots of overindulgence. This was so much better.
Night, guys.

Sounds like a good day was had, Bobbie my friend. Talk later 
Tbh, they don't usually make me as happy as these ones!
I love them! Always did and always will do. So much win.
My life is complete! I never had a pair of these before...
Have a good day, peoples.

as shared on 'nother thread...such is life..
I had a particularly strong attack of whatever one calls experiencing every crap emotions associated with depression for a day yesterday.
I went for a sanity drive in my new wheels- and on a beautiful day- music on, my mood changed so quickly for no in the moment reason. There is enough crud in my head to run as a theme for a psychiatric conference for a month.
It was so strong, I was tempted to withdraw from all my art subjects- everything seems so pointless when these moods hit- especially as it is always accompanied by pain, and sometimes nausea. Any 2 of these I deal with- but all three? I have grown a little- as I know NOT to make any decisions (if a choice) when in any intensive emotional state- good or bad. So I went to bed a very unhappy camper- but the rest was enough...the HALTS bit. (Apparently with the 'hungry' bit- chocolate is not considered nutritious).
Anyway back to low level white noise anxiety today, am I am not withdrawing from anything. So the fight continue

Dear friends, a little late for the roll call but I’m here. I got through my non-drinking related major issue. Unsurprisingly, drinking touched that as well but was a minimal factor for a change. As we know it of course made a bad situation worse. The good news is that I didn’t go completely off and drink myself to oblivion. The bad news is that I’ve yet to fully quit. The good news is that I’ve considerably curtailed my drinking. But, I haven’t stopped yet. The next step is to eliminate the after work drinking then the weekend drinking. This piecemeal approach may not work but it’s the most progress I’ve made in the past four years and I aim to continue to improve. I am working with an AAer who has close to three years though I’m not formally in the program at this time.
I have the support of you wonderful people as well as those in my daily life. I’m more hopeful I can make the change than I have been in a long time. I won’t lie, I’m still not fully ready to stop. The bottom line remains that giving up quitting is not an option.
I hope all are well. Much love.

Thanks for checking in 13th ~ Great work with your progress ~ Stay close! 
Yesterday my mom and I went to Home Depot and picked out some flowers that are supposed to attract butterflies; put them in the planter underneath brat cat's perch on the windowsill....we'll see how it goes
