This is crazy. I cannot believe it is the end of January already. Where did the time go? Not too much has happened since my last post. I got over the ridiculous breakup with my bestie and now feel liberated instead of angry. I don’t have to deal with her husband anymore! We never liked each other and under his…

Almost two weeks sober. It was actually much easier than I expected. Maybe because I was ready to quit. The craving subsides with time. I crave it only in the evening or when I am bored. It’s manageable. It is still hot. However, in the evenings it is cool and that helps with the morning temperature. I crave fall and…

One week sober. It is not as bad as I thought it would be. I only crave wine in the evenings and get anxious. Anxiety sucks. During the day I drink a lot of coffee instead and chew a lot of Nicorette. Somehow it brings down the craving. Hope it will continue not to be so bad. The weather is…

The biggest news as of right now is that I quit drinking. Well, I decided to stop drinking and today is day one. I need to survive 3 days. Then the alcohol will be out of my system… I heard that day 3 is the roughest one. We will see. The main reason I decided to quit is it was…

The heat wave is coming. The entire week is 100F or over. When I moved here. 9 years ago the summers were in the low 70s, sometimes 80s. And it would rain incrementally. Now heat waves are common and last for quite some time and so is drought. I have read an interesting article in the Atlantic about climate changing…

Another weekend passed by. This one was uneventful except for urban hiking in the morning for 3 hours each day. Ze beastie was happy and peacefully slept by my feet after. I can’t believe he is 11 and still that spry. I think that a key to doggo’s long life is to keep moving. Just like for humans I suppose.…

Don’t really have any news today. It is a very occasional post on Monday. The heat wave is still here. Hopefully the last day of it for a while. The forecast from Google lady is hopeful. Opee and I survived in spite of the hot pavement and zillions of degrees outside. Thank god the inside is cool. On a shitty…

The Summer started today at 78F after yesterday’s 63F. This tells me that this Summer as the last Summer would be super hot. This Saturday they expect 91F and Sunday 95F… I dread the day. However, my home is still cool as it is in the shade of trees so I might not even have to turn the air conditioning…

Opee got attacked by a vicious pit bull. It was horrible. The owner was completely unresponsible and sat on a bench with its leash under his foot. Of course, when the pit bull lunched towards Opee the leash just came out from under the foot as pit bulls are all muscles and pretty powerful. I have never seen such a…

It’s Friday and even though I made a post yesterday I have an inclination to write again even though this day is no different than others. It is true, I have been living in a Groundhog Day for the past year with hardly any social contact except meeting with my friends once a month on average or on my walks.…
