Rejuvenate yourself! Weekender Thread Mar 27 until...
Send in the Clowns? More like "Send in the Frowns"! Am I right? Eh? Ah?
Finishing up the workday here. Going to walk to town for an afternoon coffee and pick up a piece of pie from the bakery for dessert. Then it's NCAA Tournament time, Sweet 16 baby! Go Badgers!

thanks BigS, thanks for reminding me of the time I was at the airport in cancun waiting for my flight back to US. What's this? jose cuervo bar at the airport. So anyway, hours later I'm at my departure gate and nobody else is in site. I eventually got back home...
anybody seen Trach?
Anyone ever work with duvetyne?
oh, If I had listened to that song first I wouldn't have posted it. I just saw send in the clowns. thought it was funny...
b-ball tonight, Wisconsin plays - the eventual national champs.

I admit to a closet dislike of all things clown. I don't know if it's the John Wayne Gacy/Illinois association. I don't know if it's a long festering resentment that I never got to be on Bozo's Circus as a child. Just not a fan.
On the train home. Yay! Saoutchik, people can drink on the train I'm on but not on the Chicago el which is more akin to the underground. My line is like the district trains. I've done my fair share of drinking on my train
In fact, it was one of those associations I had to break in early sobriety.
Ok. I'm meeting Mr. Ruby at a 5:30 AA meeting. Talk to you all later. Yay conquest! Thanks for Patti

I am in.
I have had a busy week what with therapy sessions and aftercare.
I am looking forward to seeing my friend on Saturday and doing something different and having some fun!
My therapist told me this week that he has high hopes for me. He hopes that I will have a long and happy life and he mentioned this-and-that and getting out and joing clubs and havng fun and perhaps even having a relationship in the future...
I went to an aftercare meeting this evening. Two of the other people there said that they have a wedding coming up and they were dreading it.
I stood up when it was my turn and I told them that I am actually looking forward to the weddings I'm invited to. I was so shy back then, I turned down all wedding invitations. I'm not even worried about the drink thing, because to be honest, I did most of my drinking in my flat. My confidence has actually sky-rocketed since I got a job. One of the women there touched my arm as she was leaving and whispered in my ear "You've changed since you began coming here. You now look at everyone in the eyes when you speak to them. We're so proud of you. Well done". I wanted to cry for my old self.
On a different story before I sign off (I'm only posting this because I was a bit surprised): I work at a very busy hospital...so the cleaning lady came in today like usual and I spend the most time in the office so I chat with her. This is the fourth time this week she told me that we need a new bin for the office as she finds the other one hard to clean properly. So I called maintenance and I told the lady we would like a new bin. There was silence on the phone and then she goes: "you do realise that we can only order 6 bins a month? So obviously there is a bit of a back-log. I will put you on the waiting-list". Then she asked me if the bin was rusty, I said "no" and she said she will call over to see it...okay, to say I was a bit taken-aback is an understatement. My dad laughed when I told him and said "that's cut-backs for you. Welcome to the real world". I know there is a recession, but still...
I can't WAIT for the weekend! And the weddings. This castle better look like Hogwarts or I will be disappointed!

Tetra.... I could not be more happy for you. Your words leap! Don't forget to bring your invisibility cloak so you can go off and explore the rest of the castle!
BigS.... Um... Wow. You had me feeling sick to my stomach and uncomfortable reading that. Frustrated. Thanks! I think.....
Mr B is in the howse! Hope your lady feels better.
I am going on Sunday to see someone who read tarot cards. I have know her for years though she knows little of my life. We worked together. Last time she read me in 2003 she told me about my mom who would have heart trouble. That I should go see her very soon. My mom never had heart trouble but she soon passed from heart failure. I did go see her and say goodbye. One of the best moments in my life being able to comfort her. My point is she called that and another very big thing that happened the next year. Not the sort of thing you guess.
So I am excited to see when she will tell me to play the lottery. Or when mr. Charming will ring my doorbell. You know... All the simple things we need. I will update everyone Sunday afternoon.
Anyways.... TV time. Back on my diet in a big way. Dammit I will lose that last 5 lbs. My working out is paying off. Maybe catch the attention of an admirer at some point. For now. Just relax and rejuvenate!

Yabba dabba duh !
Had an interview for a job which might have been ok but it's in a High COL area and it happens to be the town i found one of my old mates reduced to a drug fuelled hot mess and a few years later my ex hung himself from a tree there …
So i don't think i'll bother going there again if i can help it , been there saw what there was to see, still found it a bit depressing .. Although job and company seemed good the lifestyle and cost of living didn't .
Im prepared to take less pay to live in a low cost of living area and not push my career so i can put my shorts and flip-flops on when i get home and become a beach bum
Although in this last year i've proved i can do IT , to have a more balanced life with respect to work, home, loves and interests is more healthy recovery style life for me i think .
It's brilliant to be sober and to able to make self nurturing decisions .
Lets all keep on

Turtle made a brief appearance in the Sans Cow thread. He's been feeling poorly. He was sick but feeling better, he said.
I went to the zoo. It was awesome! 69 degrees F and sunny here
I think pork chops and homemade applesauce and salad for dinner...
