I've been getting up early and bringing one of the boy down to feed them, putting the monitor on and waiting for the other one to wake up so Megan can get some more sleep (we both do feedings at night, but sometimes it's not evenly split). It feels nice to be up at a decent hour to hang out with the boys, who end up sleeping again before too long. I use the time to have some green tea, watch the news, and get some work done or clean the kitchen.
No booze today. I do have beer in the fridge and in the garage, which I take as progress. Typically if I have anything and I'm in the mood, I drink it. If I had any hard stuff that would likely be different. Getting my healthy eating back on track and I feel really good.

Pretty good day. Got up around 7:00 or so with the boys. They were circumsized yesterday, which was pretty worrisome, but we have a fantastic doctor and the boys were amazing. Sawyer apparently started to fall asleep during the procedure :-) They were great in the evening and in the night and throughout the day.
Good nutrition today. Some overeating and snacking, but nutrionionally dense meals otherwise.
No booze today. Some irrability, but nothing major or prolonged. Got a few naps in here and there as I have been flying on adrenaline and green tea and happiness at the change in how I feel mentally and wanted to make sure I didn't fall flat on my face.
Charlie started smiling today.

Rewatching Breaking Bad, which I had started last February when I started out on the trainer. I mounted our old TV when I bought a new one this fall. Ordered a fan and a stand for my computer.
Good day, but quite tired. I was with the boys a good portion of the day as Megan has a few deadlines before the semester starts in a week. I went to the Home Depot for some fire extinguishers because I realized that we didn't have any and they are kind of important. Delivery didn't seem like much of an option. We've been ordering groceries for some time so my in-store stops have been limited to CVS and the ocassional, very quick grocery item or two.
No booze today. I can't remember the last time I went 5 days. Certainly not since we moved to Michigan and I doubt since we have been married, though we did well in Philadelphia to not drink during the week (most weeks anyway).
Got Sawyer to smile today. Poor kid. He inherited my huge head.

Got up with the boys and hung out. We had a pretty quiet day and watched the live stream of Jason Isbell's concert once I figured out how to put it on the TV. We had a light dinner and I went to bed around quarter of one. The boys slept from 12:00 or so to 5:15 for the second night in a row.
My first sober New Year's Eve since I was probably 16? 17? Definitely since 15. That was 2000. I'll be 36 in 3 weeks. Megan cheers me with her wine. I had some ginger and tumeric tea I made. It's nice and spicy and I like to drink it by the gallon, but that combined with the lemon in too large a quantity kills my throat and tongue. It's amazing stuff though.

Got up early (during the 5:00 hour) to feed the boys. Did some work and puttered around until 8:00 or so when the monitor sounded.
I was going to jog, but realized I probably would need tights and I know they won't fit. And it is damp and cold, though not terribly so. Still, not leaving the house and getting some exercise while rewatching some Breaking Bad sounded much better.
Ordered a bench and a set of adjustable dumbells. Spent too much money, but we aren't planning to go into gyms for some time. Megan is on sabatical in the fall and I believe I am scheduled to teach online fall 2021 even though things should roughly be back to normal by then. We will have saved a good deal on daycare the first year or so. We might eventually do one way a week just to be able to get things done and so that the boys have interactions other than us, the cats, the birds on the feeder, and the exceedingly fat squirrels we have in Michigan.

I've been rewatching Breaking Bad. Working on my trainer setup a little bit.
