Kaily, I hope your headache goes soon and you can catch some more sleep. 
Mariposa, great job on working through the cravings...and congratulations on 8 weeks!
Vman I’m pleased you’re feeling better.
We’ve got rain here too, it’s forecast for the day, on and off. Yaay

Same from me Kaily
Well done Mar.
A lovely day here- about 24C- gentle breeze. Went for a surprisingly long walk. I usually get really sore after about 45m- from burns damage etc...today I went for 2 hours.

VMan, I'm so happy you're gaining some traction. Whatever the "different" is, keep doing it.
Rain, huh? I live in a rain forest. Everyone in the country is moving here, so it must be a pretty nice rain forest (and it is, I love it here) but it does make for challenging walks in the Fall/Winter. Walks and sobriety on a Sunday sounds like about the perfect day to me.
I will go to the gorilla Keepers' Talk at 11 at the zoo, then probably do a little food prep for the week. The most recent scuttlebutt going around the gorilla visitors is that two of the gorillas are pregnant. I hope I can get official clarity today. I usually refrain from *squee* but I'd make an exception.
Kaily, I'm often up at 2. It's annoying but at least my heart isn't trying to roll out of my chest at 2AM like it did when I drank. That was so scary.
Sunday is my favorite day by far. Drinking would absolutely ruin it, so I won't do that.

Happy Sunday friends
Just watching the lake wake up.
It’s funny to me that the tourists leave just as the weather starts getting nice—cooler and less humid.
Neighbors are all gone too on either side so I feel like the only human witness to the beautiful morning that’s building. Still some insect noise but the coyotes quit singing at first light. Now the birds are starting their daily chatter and a lone fisherman appeared for a moment as he motored past me, headed out for his day of peace on the water.
Dogs and are hanging on the screened porch, and they are watching everything, including me on that second large bulletproof coffee.

Happy Sunday morning, I was up a 7 am to feed the dog but then crawled back into bed for an hour. It's gray and rainy outside. I need to do some car maintenance, but that's not happening today. Guess I'll putter in the workshop and play with my Ukuleles.

Happy Sunday morning weekenders! I hope everyone has a good day, especially if you have a headache or something or have been struggling with sleep
That sleep thing is elusive for me, but the last 2 nights have been better than average.
It's really a nice day here - after moving out to AZ from the east coast, I', still getting used to watching football at 10:00am!!
VMan, congrats on the 2 weeks

Welcome Jeniket, well done on your sober Sunday. First of many I hope.
Dragon have the day off, no guilt and no jobs. Relax and enjoy!
I have felt a bit off all day. Think it might be my body missing my normal chocolate based food
. Never eaten so many veg in all my life.

Welcome to Weekenders Jeniket, hopefully this sober Sunday will be the first of many.
bim - you forced me to visit Google, not heard of "squee" Fingers crossed about the gorillas.
I went to a place east of me called Ilford this morning to watch my eldest granddaughter in(8yrs) play mini football in the mud, it is a 7-a-side version of the game. She had some trouble in understanding that she was there as a player not the referee

Just when I was worrying about doing something productive... work calls. Technical issues, have the big guns on the line now so just sittin' waiting... good thing I have an emergency food stash.

Well, the zookeepers can't/won't talk about actual pregnancies. The way she phrased certain things leads me to think one of the gorillas is pregnant. Not the one we thought it would be! We just have to wait and see what happens. Always a fun thing, zoo babies. They hired three new humans to help with gorillas, so something's up.
I ate too many snack foods today. Of course, that's relative. Exactly how many is, "too many"
?
Night Weekenders. Another successfully sober weekend in the book.

Hi Jeniket and welcome. Monday’s are great after a sober weekend.
Bim it must be exciting at the zoo with a baby gorilla due. We gets news on tv if a baby has been born at any of the few zoos around the country and many people gather, hoping for a glimpse of them.
PJ, I’m pleased you’re enjoying your walks. You must’ve been pleasantly pleased how you’ve progressed.
Dragon I like your new avatar!
Start of a new week and it looks like a wet rainy one is on the cards.
