This the new color of my bathroom. It doesn't look like much of a color here, but it is really warm and pretty. (if you look closely at the photo, you will see that I am not such a good painter, oh well.)I am so excited this morning. I have been thinking about running a half-marathon in January, and I think I have arrived at a plan. We shall see. I do know that training for a half-marathon will keep me running through the challenging months ahead, which will help my sanity. I am heading into a heavy work time. Every three years I spend at least 6 months preparing for "The Big Event" of my job. Normally, I gain about 20 lbs. as I prepare for this event because I work so many hours, I skip meals and when I skip meals I gain weight at an alarming rate. If I am running 20 miles a week, I will HAVE to eat regularly. I will also HAVE to not work 3,000 hours a week.
I am looking forward to getting back to work this morning. So I better get to it.
Let's all stay sober today, OK?

I wish I received such joy from running as you do. I have never been a fan.
I like the color. I hope that you will take care of yourself as you prepare for the "big event". Skipping meals isn't good for the old metabolism--eating small frequent meals is.
I must say I too receive no enjoyment from running wish I did. The only suggestion I have is shoot for the whole marathon not half why set your goals to half of something. I did it with drinking and many other things in my life and it was always a let down. I would just cut back or settle for a job and quit working towards my real goals and end up miserable. I set them to the max and if I come up short I know I just have to work a little harder the next time. Just my opinion will be checking back on progress.
I am early in this sobriety game but I am learning quickly that goals are a huge part of staying sober. Marathon sounds good! I run one right now. Wait I could die from that, better start with walking the dogs.

It's just wonderful to "look forward" to ANYTHING! (Guess that means don't look back too much, or I'll trip.)
For now, I want to be in that group which is "Staying sober today. OK?"
I like the color MC...very neutral. It will allow you to put all kinds of psychedelic butterflies and stuff on the walls. *wink
Color is good and looks like youdid a good job. The rest of it sounds like a good plan. You go ghurl.
I colored your wall--is that a bathroom?--a little brighter, maybe I'll mail it...
This is to Poopmaster or whoever: I went to your blog and wish you'd blog what it is you DO enjoy. Otherwise it sounds like gloom and doom to me, but what do I know? --Been where you probably are, and climbed out of it, with lots of help from God and Alcoholics Anonymous. Tried to comment on your B but it would not accept. Do ya have to join or something?
NOTE: With drinking I NEVER went halfway. With running I ALWAYS go halfway -- up our short block, but that IS my all-the-way, one-way goal! (for running) -grin-
Anything is possible with a plan.
I hope our plan is aligned with God's plan.
Hey, you did an excellent job little fig newton.
just take care of yourself MC!
