Day 709

Better day. Busier too.

It’s nearly midnight though so checking in is all I can do. Maybe one of these days I’ll write something leisurely.

Day 708

Hard day.

Weather, food shopping, other errands, one kid suck, another stressed, third keeping poor hours, dogs, Spouse...all day I felt like the grout holding together our little family mosaic.

But hey I didn’t drink so I win. And tomorrow will at least be a different day.

Day 707

My day count is an airplane. How ‘ bout that?

Today was a much better day. Slept till nearly -ten- for one thing which was stunning. Got bakery stuff for breakfast, everyone fended for their own lunch and dinner was carry out pizza so I did zero cooking which suited me just fine. Worked on my crocheted blanket and walked outside a fair bit. All good.

And now for sleep. Grocery list is ready for morning.

Day 706

Today was just full of the crazy. Work, home, pets - you name it; it had weird issues.

But I weathered it all. Go me. And it’s Friday which means a couple days away from work which will be good.

Last night I made lemon bars and a few became my dinner tonight - homemade baked goods, even from a mix, are just so much nicer than anything in plastic. Which reminds me: I ordered myself a set of good mixing cups and “set” includes the mind-blowing 2/3 and 3/4 cup measures. I’m pretty happy about that. I also got a microwave rice cooker which I already love although I need to tweak the times  as the first batch I made turned out a tad underdone. May try it for oatmeal in the morning.

But now it’s rather past my bedtime. I know I’ve said it before but it still bears repeating: the sleep improvement is an awesome benefit of sobriety.

Day 705

Such a long hard day on both work and home fronts. So many little frustrations.

Closed down the mountain and had a milkshake for supper. Bed now. Hoping to catch up tomorrow.

Day 704

What a day. Busy work, busy home, minor drama both places...but I took care of myself. Ditched the big stir-fry plan for heating up the meat (leftover pot roast) in the toaster oven and serving it with rice from the new microwave rice cooker I wanted to check out. Totally works but I need to tweak time. I’m thinking next time will try 15-20 min total time, all on 100% but oh man I’m never going back to pot on stove again.

Planned to eat half and save half of the M&Ms I got on one of my errands - nope ate whole share size myself. The sugar really hit the spot.

Must sleep.

Day 703

This afternoon I felt really drained. Like that machine in Princess Bride drained. I think it is all the family-drama stress coming home to roost. 

Then boy-beagle got loose. Got him back fairly quickly but it’s always awful because he isn’t as afraid of cars as he ought to be. Dumb dog.

But after that I babied myself all evening and now it’s time to call it a night.
