I think I am paying his mortgage this month.
Keep us updated...

Writing your thoughts out too, that can sometimes help.

Hi folks,
I posted a picture or two from my Thanksgiving "vacation" to the Caribbean's Amatique Bay late last weekend. But, there were lots of threads going, apparently. Anyway, here's one of them:
Pretty majestic place! Got into the rivers and kayaked through the rainforest, swam outside an old Spanish castle that was used to battle Pirates in the 1600's, and explored some great seafood. I even rented a little jetski from a dude, and went around Guatemala's largest lake, Lake Izabal. Just incredible!
More incredible is that I was able to drive 6 hours EACH WAY, through the Guatemalan highlands and rough eastern terrain to get to the Caribbean. Just a crazy drive, never done anything like that, it was cool to be at the wheel in the truck, rocking the mountains!
Sobriety has helped me achieve and enjoy all of these gifts! It was just 3.5 short years ago that I was on "Day 1". Let's make it happen, gang!

well not only did you take shotgun, you took up half the bus on page four... I heard of saving seats before, but c'mon already...
haha,, no, that "WAYD?" meant I should be cleaning the house or something - sending our resumes etc... Relaxing for ten minutes apparently doesn't count as doing something.
I must remember when I lost my job she immediately took a course to get a part time job just for the bennies and worked graveyard shift while going to school full time. I must humble myself before the queen
She doesn't realize I was training her for success. True.
She is discovering that being truthful and critical with co-workers is not a good thing here in America. In the Motherland if someone is slacking or not doing their job it is expected that co-workers rip them a new one. Here, if you say something you are put on the watch list... Sad but true.
She doesn't get it that most people are there for one purpose, sneak through the day doing as little as possible and collect a paycheck. America...

Dog got a pain shot and anti-inflammatory pills to take home. Expect it to resolve. And she loved her new vet-- oh and she says thanks to mom's friends for the well-wishes!
Giving up is NOT an option.

The sun is out! First time in days. Time to try to walk the dog.
Beautiful pic, Big S. I'm daydreaming about a trip somewhere, and that looks like the kind of place I'd love to go. My uncle and his girlfriend are going to Mexico for two months this winter - they have invited us to come visit at some point. That might do the trick nicely. Just have to figure out logistics and money, and I'm there. Can't take my son out of school, so might not be able to go. Depends on when the ex has a vacation week. Can't leave my son here with him unless he's on vacation, because he gets up at 4 to go to work. It's complicated.
