Working, I’ve dove into the world of hop waters. A lime topo Chico really hits the spot too.
I’ve heard so many good things about topo Chico. I’ll have to find it. 🧐
Happy birthday, child of Zerlyna!
Wedding shower at my house tomorrow. Today is a prep day. Iwndt.
Sounds like a busy and fun weekend!
I am spending this weekend sick as a dog in bed. Lots of water and lots of (legal) drugs are in my future, for sure. No booze though, and that is OK!
Oh, I'm sorry. I hope you feel better soon!
Happy birthday to your kiddo! I get the stress part, maybe some grounding techniques before and after can help?
Yesterday was a great day. Grocery shopping, then spent time relaxing outside with a book. Finished with a campfire with the kids while we watched a little bit of the meteor shower. I realize that drinking is a big thing when I have a campfire, but I didn't have any alcohol. Proud of myself for breaking the habit. Happy that I got to spend time with my three teenagers and fantastic husband, we found some lullaby versions of Tool songs on Spotify. That really made for some core memories last night, and they will be ones that I remember this time!
Today the kids go to a Tai Chi lesson. I want to pop into the local craft store to see if there is a small diamond art kit I can use while we play D&D tonight. I have a hard time sitting in one place for 4 hours without constantly snacking, drinking, or feeling very antsy. Looking to see if a mindless craft will help a little with that. I won't be drinking alcohol today, got too good of a thing going!
I’ve heard about the diamond art and YES I tried playing an RPG game a few times and I just couldn’t focus. Now I have to find those Tool lullabies. 🧐
The diamond art helped a ton! I was more engaged and the time flew by. Search for lullaby Tool on Spotify, there's a couple different playlists.
