Tomorrow morning Corina arrives!! Fortunately, my nervousness is overwelmed by my excitement to see her. I have to keep reminding myself however, that it is only a visit, and that she lives in MO now. Tough to do but it definately has its perks. I get to spoil her for the first time in her life!!

I believe they average two days off a month. Those are days off that they do not have to show up... Do not get me started on when they are here. Good news was I got tons of ( Read more... )

I dedicated this weekend to getting back on track with my recovery. Sounds like a much rougher deal than it was. It actually feels comforting and safe to be back! :) Another thing I thought I would never feel/say! Isn't sobriety wonderful ( Read more... )

The past week I have lost touch with my HP. Like a childhood friend, I neglected Him/Her when things were "too busy." Like a good childhood friend, He never left, only waited for me ( Read more... )

It feels GREAT to be back to work! I never thought i would say that! Getting back into the swing of things is a relief I did not even know I needed. Routine and structure is much healthier for my sobriety and sanity ( Read more... )
