Hola fabulous friendlies 😊. Happy Monday! It's been another good day today: This one of the more "meh" variety. I was reminded of a pretty important lesson, though: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I mention that because even though I have all day on Sunday to organize things for my … Continue reading 2020-09-14 — An Ounce of Preparation

2020-09-10 — Bring It On (Reprise)
Hiya, folks! 🙂 Happy Thursday! Another good day on this end of the electrical connection. Today's good day was of the more positive, upbeat, progress-making variety. It didn't start out so hot. I slept in again, just exhausted, and I didn't get most of my dailies done--at least not on time or in the typical … Continue reading 2020-09-10 — Bring It On (Reprise)
2020-09-09 — Crash and Take Off
Hey y'all, happy Wednesday. I'm kind of happy that it's Wednesday, and that I'll be taking tomorrow "off." So nice. Soooooo nice. I was feeling pretty low still this morning. I didn't get up at 5:30. I'd had the night thing happen last night a little bit in the middle of the night. That woke … Continue reading 2020-09-09 — Crash and Take Off
2020-09-08 — Trying to Pick Myself Up
Hidy-ho, peeps, Happy Tuesday 🙂. I still find myself trying to pick myself up after my relapse last week. It's been really hard. I've been halfway between discouraged and depressed, I think. At the moment, I'm feeling somewhat better. I'm making progress in my actions. It's just not corresponding very well into my mental/emotional/spiritual state. … Continue reading 2020-09-08 — Trying to Pick Myself Up

2020-09-06 — Trying to Get Up
Hey, folks. It's been a rough day for me. I didn't get enough sleep because I went to bed so late. Fortunately, I was still able to stay mostly on top of things with my dailies--meditating, studying, praying, etc. I'm usually quite on top of things after a relapse, determined to do better. So that … Continue reading 2020-09-06 — Trying to Get Up
2020-09-05 — Relapse
Hey y'all, Rough day today. Pretty much right at 5 months, I relapsed in porn. Man, I was doing so well. I wasn't wanting any. I didn't even really see it coming tonight. I was trying to do good things. I was listening to gospel stuff up until like 20 minutes before. Then I started … Continue reading 2020-09-05 — Relapse
