That sounds amazing! Just what us sober peeps need, in fact I'm starting to think cooking could really be the way forward. Tell us about some more yummy meals you have : )))

Back traveling for week number 2 and hopefully the last for awhile. I'm very much looking forward to getting back to a normal schedule at home. Sleeping in my own bed over the weekend was wonderful!! Eating home cooked meals at the diner table with my fiance was equally amazing. Anyway, I'll take some travel pics when I get off of work to post.

Today is the last day of my 2 week long business trip. Crazy how living in a hotel room is starting to feel normal. Anyway, towards the end of the day the invites started. "Hey we should go out its your last night!" "There is this awesome place by your hotel!" "What are you doing tonight? We should should get ****** up!" All of which I didn't say no, just defelected. A lot of "maybe, I have to get my stuff packed up but we'll see after that." Type answers. Honestly I did want to go. Celebrate the ending of the trip, new friends and aquaintences etc... I can't tell if I wanted to go for the comradery or the booze. In any case I didn't go, but I did go to my hotel and make an appointment for a massage. Just got back from that and I have to say, it was way better than going out and getting **** faced. I would strongly suggest next time you have an urge to drink get a professional massage if you can. Completely forgot about the booze and feel amazing.

Good for you! You did real well. 2 weeks would have been very difficult for me.

Way to go and finish strong!! Thats difficult because normally I would end a tripping also. Massage sounds great and you still have savings from what you didn't spend on drinks at night.
