Sunbeam, I am SO SORRY for your loss. Life is fragile and precious, we should treasure each moment. I'm learning to take my own advice, and just enjoy life instead of worrying about the small stuff. Cleaning and laundry can wait...if my daughter wants to hang out or just talk, that's what we do!! :h

I just spent a good 40 minutes applying for another job. The Jailer job I wanted may not happen BUT...the good news is that this job is also in the Police Department. It's a Community Services Officer job, which means I'd still get to see the perps, but it's probably a "gentler" job than the Jailer one would have been! No strip searches, but I may get to write up some violations and be kinda bossy.

I am secretly reading my Nook......ok not so secretly.....I am the boss, after all :-)

Thanks Mama, Dest, K9, and everyone for your support. I'm working on my friend's rememberance for her online book. I also will be dedicating this week's gardening article to her.

Good morning everyone! I just found out that a kid that worked at the local grocery store that I shop at passed away suddenly from a heart attack...he was 22. I am totally shocked....I just saw him a few days ago. He went to the same high school as my daughter..although he was a few year older than her...was going to college on a music scholarship plus working part time at the grocery store. Just a good all around kid....we would compare our tattoos when I was at his check-out! Ha! So life is short folks....I am so glad that I am finally enjoying it without the daily oblivion of AL!

Ok...so today I am going to an AA meeting that is for women. I am thinking tht I may b more comfortable in that one as opposed to a mixed gender one. I am sooooo nervous and I am hoping that I don't end up being the creeper that hangs in the parking lot in my car and doesn't go in...hahahahaha. I am not sure if this is going to be for me...but I figured I would give it a try. Wish me luck!

Good luck, Dest!

Hi Mama, yes my friend has family. Most are local, but her son and grandkids will be flying in from Arizona. I am grateful at the moment for those online rememberances that funeral homes now offer. I know her daughter pretty well, she called me about the accident. I had just seen the daughter at the farmers' market an hour before she called. Calling hours are tomorrow, the funeral will be Monday.

I guess no one here will be shocked to hear that I drank last night. This is why I am truly a stepper. I really don't want to drink any more, but nothing awful happens if I do. It is not good for my health, it is not the way I want to go through life. Back on the wagon today. I am making progress, I made those 30 days. I am not good at fighting a strong craving, gotta work on that.

Hi all. Went to sleep at 7:30 last night and got up at 11:00 am. Guess I was tired. :H
I've been at work for a couple hours now. Will be here for a few more.

Sun - been thinking a lot about you & your friend. Such a very tragic thing. :l

Des - I used to attend a Women's meeting that was good. Nice people there. I hope that you enjoy it. Let us know what you think. So sad to think that young man had a heart attack.

Mama - tell Papa Bear that this is your day off!!!!!

Trucker - great to see you!!! Glad you are enjoying your summer.

As for me.....well, I'm still taking the dang pill. And to be quite honest, that is all that is keeping from drinking right now. But, it's been a week AF so I just need to keep racking up those days.

Back to work :wavin:
