saout, I think we've done four Olympics since the '80's. They keep calling, we keep making costumes.
If the worst thing you did today was misspell my name...well, it was a good day, wasn't it?

I enjoy my own company more, if that makes sense. I can be alone and truly rest or have actual fun. It's awesome.
Saturday night and I'm in Pajamas, making burgers and oven fries, watching Grease on tv, and giving thanks for positive change... Moderation thoughts popping up here and there, but they're just that. Thoughts. This cheeseburger is going to knock those thoughts right out in 3...2...1...

Given the 'Sunshine' Thread Theme and all that, a lil reminder of what the proverbial AV can do is wryly communicated here by Nick Lowe & Paul Carrack.

Hey all! Everyone's either in bed here in the states or soon to be getting up in the UK. In between time.
Behan and 2wheel, way to go!
Today was ultimately the most normal day ever. Nothing eventful happened. Nothing exciting or bad happened. It was just a day. I got a lot of cleaning done. The kitchen. Swept the floors about fifty times (exaggeration, sort of) and then decided to bite the bullet and wash them. Hands and knees. Much better. Cleaned the dining room table off. Didn't do laundry. That's tomorrow. Washed the bathroom floor. Did go to the pet store for hamster and mouse food. Then to Marshall's. And the grocery store for dinner. Main shopping to be done tomorrow. I splurged on steaks but I got two and fed five people.
So, a good, productive day. Never would have gotten half that done when drunk.
Trach, I'm in awe. I recently dusted off my seeing machine to mend a pillow case. That's about the extent of my talent. I was proud of myself that I remembered how to operate the machine. I would like to start sewing again. I have a zipper to replace on my favorite skirt and I know it isn't that difficult in theory. Patterns and fixing the machines? Awesome.
Time to go to bed. I'm going to an 8 a.m. AA meeting. Then church. Then more of not much anything but I think I will be able to relax because I got so much done today. And then next week is a three day weekend! Yay!

Chop Chop!
Up and at'em!
OK... OK... it's Sunday... sleep in...be lazy... relax... Queue Trachs Sunday sounds...
I have bacon to bake. I have a choice of spam or bacon but I think the bacon wins this morning.
Have yet to see the wonderland outside. I don't have to clean much except the car so no big deal no matter what awaits.
Lots of encouraging posts from weekenders all doing the right things for themselves and families. You guys rock!

Why am I awake at 4:00 am? Because I worked hard at the farmhouse yesterday, ate big when I got home, and fell asleep at 8:00. Pure perfection, in my opinion. It was a beautiful day in Texas.
A pretty flower that brings some much-appreciated color in winter...Anyone know what this is? I'm not sure...

Good morning from the fortress against alcohol @ my bed ..
A whole lot of nothing going on, but thats ok. Sobriety is the natural state for this body and it functions very well .
Time for coffee .
