Thanks for your post I did it! I’ve been awfully tired with all the goings on of Christmas. It takes a lot out of me to force my body to do things and I can only force so much and the exhaustion sets in. It is 11am and I’m just crawling out of bed. I need to sort that out as I hate waking that late. It makes me feel like I lost half my day. I was up late last night semi dozing as I listened to TV. Not awake enough to do anything ( I tried taking my new tablet to bed with me but that didn’t work out, too sore to get comfortable in a typing position), but not sleeping either. Hopefully I’ll be able to get into a little better routine once all of the holiday hoopla is over.

Sometimes I feel a little silly, here typing about my mundane stuff when others are going through such hard times with this addiction. In early recovery days boredom would have been welcomed compared to dealing with the chaos gambling had made of my life. So boredom can be good.

I also got out the dreaded over due government taxes. My husband has a business so his can take some time. I have got myself organized so I’m hoping about 10 hours will take care of that. A little here and a little there. I want them filed by Monday. I have to do this as it will affect my son applying for loans for college if I don’t get them in ASAP. There is always something to do. Some task to stay on top of. Being a procrastinator extraordinaire I can put them off forever. Always something else I’d rather do.

And with that little whine I’ll say good morning everyone! Definitely onward and upwards. We can’t go back and change things but we can keep moving forward. Baby steps or hanging on tight to prevent back slide. And over time that will take us upward. We just have to keep doing the next right thing. And when I say that, I mean next right thing for our own self. We are all individuals and we need to build our lives for our own self.
