Wow... Non... So blatant.

As for the Maine winters... I love em. Just did not think snow today. But I love to get cozy at home when they do arrive... Every few days. At least it's been so warm we had a really good January thaw.

Old self... I will at least post a picture later. Thanks for the idea! The house smells so good and it's not even 6 am yet!

Miss fandy! How are you! I shave my head bald... So no shaggy weasel here! Lol

Checking in. Feeling good. A bit tired, but getting ready to go on a run then take my boys to a college basketball game. Eat a good dinner with the family tonight. I'm loving waking up sober on the weekends.

Have a great sober weekend, all!!

I got out and socialized with sober friends last night, even though i felt anti-social and wanted to stay in. I think I chose wisely. I'm feeling bright today. Today I'm going to exercise early and do homework, and fold a bunch of laundry.

Ken and Nonsensical, you guys are killing me! My new diet has me only drinking water till dinner! Now I've got BBQ and bacon in my face! Food porn!

I fell asleep before 11 last night and slept through until 7:30. I can't remember the last time I've had eight hours of uninterrupted sleep. Some oatmeal, 40 minutes on the treadmill, and I'm ready for a bright, sunny winter day!

Mmmm. That photo was awesome. Bet it tastes as good. I need to do some cooking but hanging out at my brother's house with the kids . Major grocery shopping needed. Bread. Coffee. When you are out of those two you know you are low. Still haven't finished the pork butt I roasted a week ago. May buy another though.

Snowing snowing snowing. And it is cold and slick on the roads. Slow going.

I'm in for this sober weekend lark. I went out to dinner with my wife and children last night. Nothing fancy, just uno pizza. I don't think I have ever been to that restaurant and not had at least two beers.

I was fine in the restaurant but, man was my lizard brain unhappy when we got home! I felt a weird sense of confusion and anger and could feel myself getting tense and on edge. I put this down to the confusion the lizard brain was feeling because of the change in routine.

Today was much calmer. I'm on day 6 btw, my longest period of sobriety in years.

Congratulations on Day 6.

I hear you about the 2 beers at UNO's. I would have had 2 LARGE beers, and God help any server who attempted to take away the first one before I had gulped it dry. Restaurants have gotten easier as time passed. Well done on ignoring your lizard brain.

Strange afternoon. My daughter had a flat tire on her way to work, so she called for help. On my way there I was thinking good thing I was sober so I could help. Took her to work then went back to her car and waited on AAA to come earn their money. It took a while and it was cold. While I was waiting I kept thinking too bad there isn't a nearby tavern.

Car is fixed and I am back home now with a small pot of decaf tea thinking I wish there was some AV-only hemlock I could slip in there to put that old rascal out of my misery.

Mrs Non is cooking some turkey soup, and it smells heavenly.

Ken - that sammie LOOKS heavenly!

Feeling a little unsettled and haven't quite figured out why. My granddaughter's birthday party was today and her mom had something on her mind and was off so that made me off I think. I'm hanging out with my pup this evening until I go pick up my son later tonight. I should be enjoying the quiet and having the place to myself rather then letting my mind wander. Maybe a hot bowl of soup and a cup of decaf tea is in order.
