Share Something Positive from Your Day vs. It's All Around You

I cleaned my kitchen... that was really dirty, like. bad. lol
It took me almost 5 hours, i scrubbed everything. The cupboards, inside the stove elements, and the millions of dishes that were there lol. My roomies and I are such procrastinators. We haven't cleaned in there in forever >.>
I did it while they weren't home so I wouldn't get distracted.

Damn I feel accomplished!

^I hope they take you out for dinner!;)

Amazing what can seem positive when everything changes. My husband has been really, really sick with his cancer symptoms. He can barely get from the bed to the couch and back to the bed. His life has become shit and mine has become round the clock caregiver--both of us feeling helpless and shell-shocked. To eat a bite of food and keep it down is a huge accomplishment so now you will see why eating 1/2 a scrambled egg, two sips of orange juice and a half a piece of buttered toast is cause for celebration.I waited 1/2 hour to write this to see if it stayed down!:)
 
Ava did much better on her walk today and it makes me feel as though my attempts to train my puppy over the last several months have not been completely in vain. It is cool outside but not too cool, and the scent of rain permeates the atmosphere. Nice day with plans of reading and writing the rest of the after after cleaning my fish aquariums. Productive relaxing day off. Still in withdrawal but trying to stay positive and continue tapering. Happy thoughts.
 
Sober in 2015, except for few Random prescribed pills during January for SOS.
Most importantly, totally sober today :)
 
There are about a zillion bumblebees in my wisteria vine. Drug-free psychedelic experience: sit underneath and close eyes. Enter that vibration. See what transpires.=D
 
this is from yesterday but ... i worked late and didn't get home until after 7. i saw a flower pot on my porch and questioned if i was pulling into the wrong driveway. my mother had been by to let the plumber in, and saw things were not in the greatest order. i live alone and try to keep my home clean, but i've been so sick with stress lately. and i know living in an unkempt environment is terrible for stress, but so is everything that i'm doing. i fell back into the spiral and am fucking myself all the way to the bottom. i'm like physically ill with stress. it's destroying my teeth. anyway, she completely tidied up the place. my dishes were done. she got me basic necessities like toilet paper. it was so nice to stand in a living room that didn't need to be cleaned. dude, i teared up a bit when i realized i had usable silverware. i feel like life is crushing me and i haven't been able to breath for weeks. i felt so absurdly loved and, for a moment, relieved. she's the best.

My dog today made me feel good. He knows when I'm not okay and is just there on my side wherever I go, he gives that sweet look.
Dogs can be so altruistic and I actually owe the day to him..:)
 
^Dogs are simply amazing. <3

Since my husband has been sicker with his cancer symptoms he has been sleeping in a different room. One of our cats goes to the door every night and scratches and meows to get in. She just wants to be by him. Then she comes back down the hall and gets in bed with me. I always feel like she is checking on us both, sensing the illness and that something is not right that we are not in the same bed.
 
That´s sweet. I´m sorry about your husband..

It's been a great day so far with lots of projects done. I feel lucky!
 
I only drank 4 cans last night. I usually lose it and go overboard at the weekend which then carries on the habit through the week, but I have felt in control since Thursday and am feeling better for it.

I also found out my friend is safe and doing well with his opiate dependency. I had no idea if he was still alive and well for a long time, so I'm very relieved and pleased.
