Thanks for the good vibes, we are back at the hotel. There wasn't a chance I was going to drink, I just didn't want to have my AV badger me all evening, and be a grump.
The story with my wife's brothers is complex. They're not bad guys, but they have unrealistic expectations about what can be done with father-in-law when he doesn't always remember what he owns anymore. The bank wants to know that stuff for a refi - it's going to take time to get that information.
Anyway - thanks for the support. Departing for home early tomorrow morning. Looking forward to my own bed!

Bonne voyage for today Non ,
Here in london the weather has been super sunny and warm enough if you have a coat on . Yesterday i went to the Horniman museum, i haven't been there in 30 years . As an engineer it is facinating to see some of the exhibits and the hard work someone put into them , the craftsmanship of people who who lived 300 or over 2000 years ago .
It was also lovely to go out side have a pot of tea and a cake with my friend and admire the splendid view , which takes in the whole of the london sky line . Canary wharf , St Pauls , Wembely stadium , No 1 Westminster , the Gherkin and the Shard which is huge ! I could'nt see the Westminster clock tower (big ben being the bell that chimes the hours inside) as it was behind a closer tower block .
Lovely spring day ,
hope your all staying sober today, we've got less than 14 hours to go here in the UK and our australien freinds only have 4 ... let's do this ..
Bestwishes, M

Sunday morning check-in! Finally spring-like in Chicago, beautiful morning. Out and about already today, was on the bus and over to the art district and made it to a cafe with wifi. Enjoying the sun and celebrating sobriety today.

a little thought for the newer sober weekenders....
you may find yourself with some extra $$$ since you are not spending it on a boozey filled weekend, which as we all know can get mighty pricey if you are out.
even if you are now buying premium top-shelf BACON and designer chocolate...you are still ahead of the game....and maybe a better reward is possible.
(in anticipation of the newer upcoming model...ipads are on sale this weekend at several stores, our Weasey is a trend setter)!
and lol, i didn't mean to predict that you were dead, i got a good chuckle out of that one.
Fandy took a container of previously made turkey and black bean chili out of the freezer....fresh chips and guac are needed for later, YUM!
headed to mama's house...we took it off the market last week and i need to check it.

OK back from the outlets... got some funky converse sneakers with bright yellow laces. A bit youthful for this old guy but they will remind me to stay sober when I see them.
Off to get a charcoal grill. Want to cook out tonight and miss the flavor from them. The gas grill does not do the same.

I got lost in Target last night Weasel. Really f'ing lost. Where's the checkout? I panicked like a 5 year old who lost their Mommy. I did eventually find my way out. God I feel like an old ass. Yeah, you know I used to shop drunk. How the hell did I manage that?

Lots of reading, napping, and eating (trying to be healthier!). My son is recoverying quite well from his surgery a few weeks ago, bf's surgery went really well on Friday too. I think I'm tired from having taken care of everyone else and not enough of myself; that is why I'm so low key this weekend. Greatful for this sober Sunday and appreciating not having drama from weekend drinking in my life!

Made it home from the road trip. Stopped about halfway and had brunch with one of our boys. He's a good kid.
I realized this morning that I still had a wallet full of cash from an ATM stop 2+ weeks ago. That still seems unusual. I would burn through cash pretty quickly when I was drinking. Anyway - I tucked it in my son's hoodie pocket as we were leaving. A nice surprise from the money faerie for him when he finds it.
Back home and the weather is gorgeous. Trees are blooming. Birds are chirping. One of my neighbors is grilling and it smells heavenly. Too bad I'm not passed out in my own drool missing it - NOT!
Tough to think about the work week to come when it's like this. Sigh. Looking forward to next weekend already!

Escapist.... I have those moments. I drank so much that I cannot think clear. I am still having trouble. Glad you made it home safe.
Made hot dogs and chicken legs on the new grill. Super tasty.
