Back from meeting. Saw Kamry after work. I'd like to say she smelled great, but I changed her diaper twice in the 45 minutes I was there. Nothing sweet smelling to report tonight.
I didn't want to go to my meeting. Need to get laundry finished before I go out of town. Got into a fight with my husband and went in a pissy mood. I really needed this meeting. A woman talked about guilt and letting it go. That if we feel forgiveness is for others, why isn't it for me too. Glad I went.
Goat, doesn't matter how cute she is, that spells trouble.
Casey, good to hear you didn't take a "chicken" dish to your neighbor. I've been watching too much GOT.
Clearlyheaded, hope your shoulder feels better. I'll msg you tomorrow about my trip.
Kiki- I got nothing. You just rock.
Purple- good night. I think if you think you're going to relax you're crazy. You'll jump out of your skin if you sit still.
Missy- 30 day chip. I am so proud of you.

Just took a manly bath where I finished reading Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk by Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain. It's by far the best rock and roll history book ever written, in my opinion. I try to reread it every two or three years. Lot of tragic firsthand stories of alcoholism and drug abuse in there as well, so I even got some recovery stuff out of it.
Missy, I've had a copy of Mockingbird sitting on my bookshelves for a long time now but have never read it. I'll move it into my "read this soon" pile. Thanks for reminding me I had it.
Sweet dreams, Purplrks! Have a wonderful day off and I'm still looking forward to hearing about your first drum lessons.
Samantha, I'm sure we'll technically be a little slower than normal this weekend but people on holiday also tend to tip a little better so I bet I'll make up in quality what might be missing in quantity.
I have not saved enough for a car yet, KiKi. I could go make a down payment on something but I've made it this long so want to wait until I can pay straight out cash for something. My tentative goal has always been by my birthday in mid-August. I'm probably on track for that still. Sleep good!
Alas, I knew that new baby smell would dissipate eventually, Bobbieka. Glad you heard what you needed to hear at your meeting. It's amazing how often that happens.
I'm going to go get in bed myself. Congrats to everyone who made it through today sober. And thanks to everyone of you for keeping me sober one more day. Sweet dreams everyone! Have a wonderful day, you upside-down Australians!

I posted the picture of whitewater rafting to my profile. It made me smile so much seeing my brother post that. It's from 4 years ago. It was a great trip all around, and he talked me into going rafting because his wife was terrified to go. I'm so glad I let him talk me into it. It's something I will remember forever.
Casey - I read To Kill A Mockingbird for the first time this spring. Definitely read it. I finished it in three days.
Bobbie - Have a good trip. I'll be on standby to hear from you.
Missy - Congrats on your 30 day chip!! I'm sorry work is so blah, stressful, and frustrating for you right now. You are handling it really well.

I was referring to owning but having never read Mockingbird, the Harper Lee biography that Missy mentioned re-reading.

Love the picture, clearlyheaded. I had a near-death experience whitewater rafting about 13 or 14 years ago so will never do it again, but I used to absolutely love such things. Now I prefer sitting beside a swimming pool.

Hi all
Was having a bit of a roller coaster of emotions this morning, felt great then felt incredibly guilty at all I put my family through when drinking. I cant help but wonder if I made dads life so much worse, contributing to all this.... Maybe he'd still be alive if all this never happened, and I hate that he won't be around to see me finally doing well. Nothing with any answers or solution, just venting.Trying not to dwell though or I know I'll get overwhelmed and want to drink.
On a happier note I love to kill a mocking bird, and I love please kill me too!

Casey I think that was the first grown up book I read too. I actually bought it with my pocket money from a flea market with my dad, and he was proud I wanted a book instead of a toy or something. Thanks for reminding me

Yet another thing we have in common besides our amazingly unique personality test types. My twin down under.
My dad's an antique dealer specializing in rare books (though he'll buy and sell most anything old he can make a buck on) so I spent most of my childhood in flea markets and junk and antique stores and used bookstores. Now my nephew is carrying on the tradition of going to "work" with my dad on the weekends.
Hang in there today. You can't change the past and feeling guilt about it is only going to make your tomorrow miserable. Keep on doing the next right thing--that's the best thing you can do for your dad's memory and for the rest of your family. And, of course, for yourself. You're an amazing person and I'm blessed to have you in my life today. We all are.

Thanks so much guys that really helped. Sometimes I just need something outside of myself to snap me out of some self pity and guilt, thank you I do feel better now.
I know he loved me and I sure hope he knew I loved him.
Casey I spent a lot of time in places like that with my dad too, not his job but definitely a passion. I love those memories
