Thanks Dee, Shoei,Lyddie, TJ and HFA!
It was a long class. It's going to be a lot of work. We have our first speech next week. I have been anxious all day thinking about it. I feel a little better now that I got a head start on my assignment. I had ZERO thoughts of alcohol which is good.
I am beat. Good night

I feel like I was ran over by a bus today. Every muscle in my body hurts. I must of been clenching my body during class yesterday or something. Funny how stress can affect you.
I just started reading a book I bought awhile back It is call "First -Year Sobriety" by Guy Kettelhach. It's pretty interesting and an easy read. I bought it like my first week of sobriety and couldn't really relate. After 3 months It makes more sense. You might find it interesting if you haven't already read.
I just bought my textbook online (you had to buy it new) 135.00 later...Sucks I have to pay to be tortured! LOL
I have been thinking about this class, I think if I can get through it doing my very best, it will make a HUGE impact on my self esteem. I have very low self esteem these days. I figured there is a reason this is the class I ended up with. It makes sense now. I am still scared S**Tless, but how great am I going to feel conquering a huge fear! Just another step towards becoming the person I am meant to be
I hope you all are enjoying your weekend. Have a great week!
Hey Good job Shoei!

Having a very lazy weekend - just reading all sorts of magazines and Sunday New York Times papers that a friend brings me. The pile is smaller but not yet gone. My work deadline got extended a week so I decided not to work this weekend.
Beth - Glad the class went ok. I thought of you on Saturday. It actually snowed in the hills above Santa Barbara. Did you get all the cold rain we did? I haven't heard of the sobriety book you are reading. Perhaps I can find it in the library.
Hope everyone is well. I certainly am enjoying the 3 day weekend. Honestly I think I could use 3 weeks of doing not much but sleeping, eating and perhaps some reading.

Aloha!!! I'm good. My daughter and I spent the day shopping. She's a mini-me. We have EVERYTHING in common. Unlike my Mom, who was pragmatic and practical and only bought clothes at L.L. Bean because of the quality and practicality.
It has been warm here lately which has brought out a new sense of optimism in me. Of course tonight, we get a visit from old man winter with 3-5 inches of snow. It honestly gets hard to plan going into the office, etc. I never drive when conditions get dicey. Not worth risking my life for a few extra dollars.
So, ready for spring here all around and have the clothes to prove it.
Beth, that is exciting starting back in school. You are studying to be a nurse? My Mom was a nurse. It's an emotionally demanding, but rewarding career.
Best to everyone.

Hey all, I have been so tired lately. I am getting things done but at a slow pace. I still have to write a speech about one of my classmates. Let me tell you, it is not easy for me. I haven't used my brain in way too long.
So anyway, I am too busy to stop today. Have a wonderful day

Thanks Lyddie, I know. It's on my list. It seems to be getting worse. It feels like I am weary in my bones. Weird I know. I feel like I am trying to walk with an extra 100 pound on my back. Maybe it's just stress. I am a worrier and internalize everything. If you can remember will you remind me to make a dr. appt tomorrow? Just in case I forget? Thanks
I am going to try to relax. Have a good night
I read a cool quote today:
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
"I forgive myself, and then I move on."
You can sit there forever, lamenting about how bad you've been, feeling guilty until you die, and not one tiny slice of that guilt will do anything to change a single thing in the past.
