40th birthday

Today's my 40th birthday. And I feel I have more comraderie with you all then the people I work with. The people I spend 8 hours a day with every day!!

My secretary and husband cooked up a surprise and surprised me with balloons, a dozen roses, and breakfast!

But...my bosses hardly care. One had a grandchild born (she's got 20 of them. literally, they just keep popping them out) and so that's all they care about. I can't help but be bugged by it a little. I hate that I still let work seep into my personal life, my image of myself. I hate it!!!

Otherwise, I can't believe what a great husband I have. Things weren't so great between us last year. And now, I thank my sobriety, AA and my friends, for helping me make life wonderful again for me.

I might add, this is the first sober birthday I've had since I was 15. I can hardly believe it.
