[quote=Anonymous]For overall health and weight control (I'm trying to lose 15-20 lbs of Covid weight) I am trying not to drink unless I'm out in a social situation and have the opportunity for a good drink. Not drinking at home. I've never been a huge drinker but DH and I used to drink a glass or wine or a cocktail maybe 3-4 nights a week at home. Definitely have cut back a ton and haven't had a drink at home in weeks.

This weekend has been HARD. One kid has stayed home from school since Wednesday, tested positive for Covid on Friday. Another kid refused to go to school because of bullying on Wednesday, went Thursday after a LOT of discussion, stayed home again Friday because they complained of "feeling sick" and with one covid-positive kid I didn't want to take chances. Third kid is healthy (thankfully) but being especially needy right now... DH has been alternatively semi manic about getting things done/cleaning up at home - we were supposed to travel this weekend to see his mom but had to cancel due to Covid - and alternatively sitting on the couch with the kids watching a lot of tv. I've been cooking a ton and waiting on the kid with Covid and cleaning up after everyone... and I'm really sick of it.

So last night and tonight I really wanted to sit down with a nice glass of wine and relax... but I didn't... Instead I cleaned something else, baked and made a cup of tea.

I just feel like I needed to vent and get that out there. Any support or solidarity appreciated. [/quote]
