I *LOVE* coming home from school at night to a running dishwasher and the floor clean. Takes 15 minutes, and makes my next morning immesurably better.

I think my hubby is slowly figuring this out too, along with how much better his life is when his emotionally nuts alkie wife isn't overwhelmed lol

What are those? Never heard of that.

Mornings are my favorite right now. Being able to get up without a hangover. No painkillers or meds for an upset stomach. Hearing birds whistle when you wake up, taking a nice hot shower and being in a good mood.

Hush -

Garlic fries are just that - french fries with tons of fresh (almost raw) garlic and spices right on the top. You can have about 6 - 8, then come the tums!! (Hopefully, everyone at the table is eatting the same thing!!)

I went to my first AA meeting in awhile today . . . and it was a good/not great meeting. But it was enough to make me feel like going back. That's a good thing!!

Today I...

woke up... got online and applied to a local community college to begin being self sufficient and not dependent on a failing marriage. I contacted the schools I went to when I was younger to get the transcripts sent....and I set the ball in motion to change my life. I'll be 38 yrs old in about 3 weeks... I don't know if that's small or not.... but dang did it feel good!!!!!

I've been down loading a flight simulator or a fleet of air planes
into my PC. I think It's cool as heck. i love aviation.
I use to be able to identify any types of aircraft.
If i really get into this. I 'll have to learn a lot of PC
animations or drafting programing...i know, i can be
a geek sometimes.lol

I'm brushing up on my aerobatics manuvers so I don't crash
my real models. Some models can be expenssive.
It's beyound the money sometime becuase of the work and love
I put into it. But i great joy just creating something.

I have a bouch of RC models in storage at the moment.
Hopefully I'll get to fly them again.
I use to have my own modling building room or workshop.
I love building them from a pieces of wood and what have
ya. Then it turns into a work of art. it's not a toy..oki doki
it's a flying modle. Some of my modles are bigger than
me.lol

Tess:

That is a BIG thing, I can imagine how good that felt. Keep with it.

Yesterday I was glued to the bed by a low feverish fatigue thing. But today,

I am up. I cleaned my house, but when I ran the bath, no water. Hmmm...

They are working on the upstairs apartment. So I am catching up on my

sharing. There is always a reason.

Bath and shopping for Mom will be delayed.

When I return,.....two New York strips and baby spinach salad with

bacon and ranch dressing....HURRY MAN...TURN ON THE WATER....


Love,

Sherry
