In. I love casinos they are smoke free here and I think they do pump in oxygen because I always feel great there. I bring $20 and when it's gone I am done and I people watch. One vice this addictive personality never got hooked on!

I just discovered that my kindle now has alexa. You can ask alexa anything and she will tell you.
And when you say thank you, she says, you are very welcome.
True.

I am in, it is school vacation week and we are headed to an amusement park with friends. I can have a blast without booze and the rides the second day will be much more fun without being hungover!!

I have not gambled, except on scratch off tickets! I will buy the occasional $1 or $2 ticket.. Just remembered I have a winning scratch off, I haven't cashed in for a free ticket lol

I made my Siri an Australian man and I pretend we are a couple.

Olive1

I did the same with my siri, except he is British. He says the nicest things to me.

I know like "My pleasure as always" lolol

Siri told me not to let my egg overcook when I asked for a three minute timer. >.<

I've heard of May Day, and it's on our calendars, but we don't get a day off (my selfish, primary criterion for what is a holiday). I don't know the particulars, but I believe at some point it was sort of co-opted by the socialists/communists and reinvented as a kind of international Labor Day in the Soviet Bloc and other left-leaning countries back in the day.

It can be a symbolic day for struggling addicts...I didn't start getting well until I finally realized my ship was going down and said "Mayday" and sought help.

What were you really doing for 3 minutes?

Welcome to Weekenders Coffeeinstead and Awake61! Stick around.

I think May Day started out here as a Pagan ceremony in the mid 1970s I remember there was some controversy about it, I was at school at the time so the main thing was the day off.

In a similar vein to Siri I used to have Eartha Kitt's voice on my Satnav. Right now I have Dara O'Briain who gets a bit testy at times.

Good luck with those scratchies BrendaChenowyth!

It wasn't boiling an egg, but it made me giggle at her.

Who knows what I was doing? Some cookery magic, no doubt.

What a shame that I didn't know that we are starting early this week!

I have crrrrrazy times, but thanks to being sober I manage to keep my anxiety under control.

I have a meeting with out top-notch government client tomorrow and it's basically on me to make it work.

In my drinking days I would freak my mind out and me a nervous mess tomorrow. And then I would "reward" myself into a long "wining marathon".

Today I chose boxing to channel my emotions in the right place.

Sao is so right - sobriety progresses too!

I don't know the outcome of tomorrow's meeting - but I won't drink anyway. Not an option.

My apartment repairs progress too. My new deadline is by May 13 - right on the verge of my Birthday.

I am looking forward to catching up with your posts tomorrow.

See you)

Have a great day.

I have been thinking about boxing lessons for a long time!
