Day Three

It is day three with no drinking.....an interesting observation.  I feel so proud of myself in the morning when I wake up knowing I did not have wine with dinner or a cocktail with my husband.  I feel so much better and have more energy not waking up sluggish.  So, I can I not remember that feeling when the evening comes around.
My mother is here and it is taking her some time to get acclimated.  She is worrying that she is getting forgetful not remembering what day it is.  I told her that she is just out of her routine and that since I have retired I have to wake up and try and remember what day it is.  She says she can't remember what day we are leaving for CO.  I tried to find a calendar but couldn't so I just printed one off the internet. 
She was saying that she could not remember how to turn the water on in the shower cause both the faucet and shower were running.  She just had not pulled it up hard enough!!! 
Mike leaves by six a.m. and does not get home until 6:30pm so I am used to being here by myself.  It is a big adjustment for me.  I am trying to stay calm!!!
