The gliding was amazing everyone. Got to fly with my brother and go on an aerobatic flight with another pilot. It was amazing. Lots of hammerhead stalls, +g's, -g's and 0 g's.

MesaMan I'm not sure about snausage boritos?

Brynn there is a gormet donut shop where my bro lives. I had strawberry strusel vanilla cake and vanilla cake covered in oreo's and gummy worms. SOO GOOD!

My daughter loves gummy worms, so my two smart aleck sons bought her a foot-long giant red gummy snake. We thought a gag gift like that would surely taste mediocre--but it was delicious! An intense, sweet cherry flavor! A delight to the taste buds!

Does anyone else feel lonely late at night?

Anyway, I guess things could be worse.

I'm in bed drinking camomile tea.
My driving instructor says I'm getting better and more confident. He said today was the best lesson yet. The only thing is that his constant refrain is "more gas Tetra. More gas please".
My dad and I were driving home and a dude on a motorbike passed by us. I said that looks like an easier way to travel. My dad said "maybe, until you get into an accident without any protection whatsoever".
Anyway I'm not a quitter. I will do this. I have visions of myself on a nice drive to Limerick or Dublin. A shopping trip would be lovely.

I will get there!

I got my learners permit in the post. Maybe next weekend my dad will pick me up and I will drive us most of the way home.

Oh tetra....you'll be driving all over the place before you know it! Freedom!

Gummy worms or gummy bears? I like the blue sharks and peach-o's too.

I seem to have a hard time accepting compliments. Like when my colleague asked me to do a simple task for her and she called me a star. Or when my boss said she loved what I did with the filing cabinets and said that I was worth my weight in gold.
Do people believe what they are saying or are they just being nice?
I'm doubting myself and I'm going to sleep. Things will look brighter in the morning.

When I pulled out of the parking lot earlier, I saw my dad beaming proudly. I would like my parents to be proud of me.
Anyway, sleep well. Goodnight

Pretty low key day here in this sunny heat.

I hung out in the new Trailer and learned how to operate the fancy A/V 'Center', and verified that various things work. The A/C sho does; it felt great. Read Ops Manuals. We broke it in by having a lil Snack in it after moving the Slide out, and letting Da Pooch in. He felt right at Home sprawled out on the Floor.

Boigers for Dinner just now. We just watched The Who in 'The Kids Are Alright'. Classic stuff. Gettingsmarter, we never got around to Burritos this AM. Poached Eggs instead. And, Snausages.-)

Somehow, I thought this Meme might be appropriate here...

Thanks for the shout out, Ruby! And thank you all for the congrats!!! According to the sober day calculator...3692 one day at a times.

I went to a meeting this afternoon, haven't been regularly for years. I collected a ten year coin and I have to say, it means so much to me. And the beauty of AA, besides the fact that you are in a room of your own kind, is that as long as you have a desire to quit, you are welcome. I hadn't been to that meeting for over five years, and I may not go again for another five years. But I always know it is there, and I will always be welcome.

Anyway, ice cream is next on the agenda. And also finishing watching the Wayward Pines marathon. Can't decide if I like the show or not.

Is it bad to eat ice cream twice in one day?

No.

CoQ10? Never used it but supposed to be beneficial.
