    Well, I drank most days last week (as usual), but I feel like I moderated better. I was never hungover. I was a little sleepy yesterday, but felt good enough to run 2.5 miles first thing. We were in bed early every night which helps tons. It was a nice weekend. Took the kids to the aquarium and just hung around the rest of the weekend. Weather was pretty good. We have nothing planned for the upcoming 3 day weekend so not sure what we'll do.

    Tonight will be a 0; not sure about the rest of the week. As long as I can keep it to a couple drinks during the week, I don't feel bad about having a drink or two most nights.

    Have a great week!

    Still in the process of moving. Puppy is doing great! Have slowed down though.. tonight, I am at our cabin -- so there will be cheese, and steak, and wine. Life gets back to normal by this weekend so I'm just going to give myself this time. Next week, back on track. On a positive note, I'm teaching Copper (the pup) to walk on a leash so getting in some steps!

    Mon - No 0. I had a margarita and a cider.
    I should have a 0 tonight to make up for no 0 yesterday, but that's doubtful.

    Ann-I can't believe it's been a year already. Hope your visit goes well and you find some comfort with each other.
    Puppies will keep you busy, for sure, Gwen!
    Meg, you are the star this month, for sure!

    I'm plugging along. Hoping for a good Dr appointment tomorrow with the MIL so we can remove the catheter and get her more mobile and comfortable. We are scheduled for our annual trip to Laguna Beach this weekend..supposed to leave Friday and be back Wednesday. I so need this as does the husband but we need to firm up his mom's caretaking situation before we can commit to going. We may end up hiring someone, but knowing my MIL she will hate that. :/
    I'm not lushing much but have been putting my gummies to good use to help with stress and sleep. ;)

    I have been having a couple drinks a night, even Monday which is supposed to be my 0 day. Last night had a bit more as I had friends over. We went to sleep around 11:00ish so not terrible today. Plus I ended the night with Smirnoff seltzers, and that seems to help "hydrate" me. :) Maybe a 0 tonight.

    Have fun on all of your trips lushes!

    Happy Friday lushes. 3 day weekend with my birthday thrown in for good measure definitely means it will be a lushy weekend. Saturday is my actual birthday so we will go out for dinner. The weather is awesome right now so I will probably just work in the yard all weekend. I hope you all have great Memorial Day weekends!

    I earned my card this weekend. Friday was probably the lushiest. We ended up going down to our neighbors' after happy hour and dinner drinks. I was hangin a little Saturday but took the kids to the coffee shop and zoo (had a beer there). Saturday and Sunday I drank most of the day but did so slowly and went to bed early. Yesterday we went to some friends' daughter's birthday party. I started with a wine, then switched to beer, then back to wine and that was a bad idea. I came home and "took a nap" and then got up and ate so don't feel bad today, but I am tired because I slept like *kitten*. I was up from 3-6:30am. I did get an extra half hour of sleep before I had to get up which actually helped some. Still tired though....

    Tonight I will have a 0. First one in a while. Once we get back from vacation, I'm going to need to detox a bit. May even try to start earning some regular 0's during the week.

    New day. Back on track. All moved into the new cabin in the mountains and now I have to stop eating and drinking everything in sight. I can talk myself into it pretty quickly so need some willpower today! Trying to do at least zeros today and tomorrow.

    Happy belated birthday, Robin!!

    Still trucking along here... not going to lie - we are counting down the days until that finish-line beer and subsequent wobbly-pops!! 17 more days...

    Also, 2 weeks from today I will be in the car, driving away to holiday in Whistler... can hardly wait!! We haven't had time off since Christmas so this break is much needed. Did I mention that it is a week of adults-only time?? :smiley:

    Tues = 0
    Wed = 1 (one glass of wine is SO good compared to last week's tally)

    Tues - 0
    Wed - 3 seltzers, 3 glasses of wine, 1.5 beers. Oops. We went to a free concert on the waterfront and then came home and had more wine.

    My goal was to have 2 0's this week, so if it's going to happen it will be tonight. But of course it's lovely. And Thursday.
