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…
Cannot believe it is almost July already. Just a minute ago it was June. What happened to time? It flies as you get older and settle into your routine. Someone else said that if you change your routine the time will go slower. Maybe. Got to try it. Today was nothing special (part of the routine). I walked my Piglet…
I signed all the ESCROW paperwork for my house yesterday!!! Woo-Hoo! I was drinking champagne afterward and treated myself to sushi. I cannot believe that everything house-related just became a reality! My closing fees also went down almost $500 because of some other discount. I am so so so happy about that. Every bit helps. I was living on a…
It is supposed to be 113F this Sunday. In a city encased in concrete in reality it will be even hotter. I don’t know what to do. I don’t have an air-conditioner and I have to walk my dog at least two times because I don’t have a backyard. I am not overly worried about morning walk as temperatures will…
Vacation continues. It is only a week-long but I will take that (see my previous post for the reasons). So far I have checked my work email every day but only to clean up spam and see what it will be once I return to work on Tuesday. It would be a busy day, for sure. But I like busy.…
It’s Wednesday. The hump day. I am starting to write more often which is good. I am not sure though if the quality of writing is suffering. In the morning we went to a “hunting” field where I let Opee free and allow him to hunt the mice to his heart’s content. He catches them and eats them. I figure…
So, I got a lot of positive comments on Facebook for my writing. One comment even said that I should write a book… I am not sure that I can write a book but maybe start with a short story. Here is the beginning of one: “So, let us start the story of the protagonist’s life who is called John…
I have an urge to make stuffed peppers. It is not often that I crave a particular food but yet here it is — the craving out of the blue. I never cooked stuffed peppers before but found a good recipe to try out. I imagine it would be like my borsch which demanded a lot of practice. It took…
Down day today. Covid is getting to me finally. I was ok with that for the most part because I am a loner by nature and totally OK without human interactions but as we move through I found that I missed physical contact. I am a hugger. I need to hug people. It is one of the ways to develop…
