Good evening fellow weekenders,
Nearly at the end of my working week here but still plenty to get done. I'm noticing gradual improvements in my focus and thinking, even coming up to 4 years sober in a couple of months' time. The mind (and body) seemingly take a long time to heal, but as they say, it keeps getting better!
Kaily, that looks like a magnificent painting by numbers project - enjoy! And yes, I think you and Alfie will have a great time at doggy agility classes. You'll have to us know how it goes.
Anyway, thanks Mags for the thread. Back to said work... Best wishes to all. Forwards.

In for a sober weekend!
Kaily, my rotund little Chiweenie pup won’t even climb up the driveway hill sometimes without flopping on his side to rest his short legs and take in the sights and smells.
He’s a sweetheart, but clearly not Agility dog material 🐶 🌭

Thanks everyone. I can barely see it never mind paint it. It does come with paints Mags, tiny little pots. I don't know if they will be enough, especially for the sky. Robbie, I'm not sure how much patience I will have either. I'm hoping I become so obsessed with it that I can't put it down 
At a country park I occasionally go to there is some agility equipment. Daisy gives it a go 
As does Alfie

Air Alfie.
Purps and SoberLeigh, and anyone else affected by Nicole, hope you had little or no damage. We just have a few dead branches to pick up, but power has been out since about 2 pm yesterday. Internet is back to normal at the moment though.

Friday, and Veterans Day here in the US.
I think all vets should get a paid day off. It's a quasi-holiday here, banks and federal offices are closed, but it's business as usual for me here at the university. If I were not so busy I'd have taken the day off to rest. I'm tired of this job. It wears me down, especially right now with all that is happening. I am the "glue" right now, and it's exhausting. I am a lowly administrator, but I'm doing a lot of the work that professors should be doing. I don't know how to make that stop other than walk away.
But, I'm sober and I can get through it. I have the option to quit, and that is a luxury many people don't have. I'd be OK financially. I feel compelled to stay, because I still care about the students, and if I left right now, they would suffer a lot. I have to keep in mind why I'm here - it's for them. I'll know when it's time to go.

Hi Kaily, I have done 5 1/2 PBN's (haha one in progress!).
I use a lighted magnifying glass to see the tiny cells.
And you will be surprised how far the little pots of paint go
I hope you enjoy!

Once again, I am sweetly reminded why I'm still here. I was just interacting with a large group of students, and every single one of them said thank you and several of them told me how much they appreciate me. My heart is full on a Friday at the end of a rough week.

I was thinking about this earlier from the point of view of someone who is currently a student, and I also want to say thank you. I appreciate you, dear Marty. I know how hard you work and how much you do for the students.
