There comes times when we muse be selfish. The guilt of all the drunken years (And the drunken selfishness that came with it) can lead us to over extend ourselves for others or allow others to take advantage of us. Selfish can be of benefit to ourselves and others when used correctly.

Been closing the store the past few nights so no early rising for me.

I'm being transferred to a store close to my home starting next week. No more sixty mile round trips to work at all hours of the day and night.

Have a good weekend all!

Cat woke me up because of an empty food bowl!
It made me smile to know that I could make her morning breakfast a happy start to Sunday!

I think I'm still working through grief and loss having surrendered my cat Comet. I miss his 0430 wakeup standing on my chest. Or, when I've ignored him his 0530 nibble on my chin.

I think his litter pans problems were caused by me...my drunken lifestyle. Sad, to think he is better off at the humane shelter instead of isolated with me.

Well, checking in late, 0715, but been up since 0530. Everyone have a wonderful day!

Up since 7am.

Well, some Christmas lights have gone up. Mrs D found some lighted candy canes and wants them in front. So I've run a string of lights to get power where the six canes will go....

bah humbug.

Coffee and smoke outside with the spoiled critters. Little one still asleep. She’s getting over a cold so sleep is needed. So far I feel fine so I’m hoping my immune system is getting stronger.
Dragon, I haven’t even thought about Thanksgiving let alone Christmas this year! I do have a few gift ideas in my head though.

A serene Sunday to all.

You're getting an early start Dragon.

Good job hitting 148 Melski. The first year especially can be a wild emotional ride, and it's great to see you handling it in stride.

Last day working at my old store before transferring tomorrow morning.

Have a good day all!

Up early because my cats love me so much they need me awake to let me know! It makes me happy!
I took in another stray that actually comes to me when I call him!

Went to bed early last night but this is ridiculous. Too much on my mind to go back to sleep now.
It did snow a little overnight and looks beautiful outside. GD is feeling better and will be going back to daycare today. I don’t have plans but a lot of shoulds

A good Monday to all.

My best to you all....love reading your posts...
Up at 0445 out in frigid clime for smoke and coffee
Watched highlights of Packers...great game
I live 50 miles from the stadium....been there a couple times
When making amends with two of my sons we visited Lambeau and got a personal tour.
Yes it snowed and we got snow here too.
Not sure what to do today but I know it will be sober.
I get some money today but one trip to the grocer and it is spent.
Cats, grandkids, sleep, and ukes...keep it up!!!

Day 150 here and it's also a Monday, lol.
Had a crown come off a tooth so my celebration is a trip to the dentist but also planning some fun stuff.
Wishing you all a great day.

Congrats on 150 days Melski.

Up at 7am, but laying around. Plans are to watch the Remembrance day ceremonies on TV.

Very cold this morning with 'crisp air' and a beautiful full moon!
Really feels like January weather!

GoodMorning Campers! 0401 cdt
Thanks ChloeRose I'm just about to head out there. 10F/-12 ikes.
Bad dreams and nightmare....forced it to close down and woke up. Don't remember.
Yesterday wasn't hard but I'm glad to commitment to recovery. I had a few moments peeking into the backfield. Romanticizing the drink.
New day!

Slept better than night before which is a plus. Maybe tonight will be even better.
Trying to be positive but not live in la la land with family issues is tiring and just plain crappy.
melski I hope your dental visit went well.

A good Tuesday to all.
