Good to see you, GS. Vacay photos?
Melina, congrats on the job offer. A six-day work week is a lot. Is that negotiable?
Mesa, could you clone yourself and do a thorough house-cleaning at Chez Venny?
Am a little tired. The last 24 hours took it out of me. You guys were such chatties today.

Good news melina! Congratulations.
Yeah, I agree about the 6 day workweek. I know for me in sobriety, I need to try to keep stress levels down and prioritize self care. I think of drinking when I get really stressed, mainly over work.

If Mesa could clone himself, I bet Jen would try and claim all the clones for her business.
I hope you can work out details that are fair and good for you. Please don't risk your sobriety though.

I wish I had a cloned Mesa around, he is an all around Renaissance Man and super helpful in all areas of the heart, work advice, and techie stuff!
Thanks for all the congrats, guys! I just sent my counter offer. I did put it in there that I will be managing my hours and taking half days and working from home whenever possible. And that as soon as we have the new locations operational, that we get me on a five day work week. I don't mind doing the six days if he pays me what I'm asking and its not like it's forever.
If it really is a terrible strain on me, I'll go find another job. I'm honest with him, he knows I'm trying to be sober, and he knows about the anemia. It'll be apparent to all if I don't have the stamina for this.
If he does pay me what I'm asking, I'll be able to knock out some credit card action I racked up while unemployed. It's not a terrible amount, but I don't want to carry a balance. Last year when I was sober I got completely out of debt, it was such a great feeling!
Thanks again for your well wishes, I hope he takes my counter offer!

Good night Bim.
Chatty Cathy all of you! Part 3!
Traffic wasn't too bad tonight. I'm trying to get it in my head that i should write in a journal but I just lose interest in writing anything when 9:00 rolls around. I used to write all the time. The internet is a giant distraction.
My poor daughter is catching on to what it means to have an older mom. "when I'm 30 how old will you be?" "When I'm 40 how old will you be?" Then started crying that she doesn't want me to die. And so it starts at age 8. I used to be the same way.
Time for ice cream and bed

Mesa, I'm in love!....You had me at 'Vacuum' ! 
Yay Melina!
Hey, did we ever decide if calling shotgun for each page was legal? If so I'd like to try for page 3.
Bim, that's the cutest big blue bird ever!
So, I just got home. I feel like I've been driving all day, but got to see alot of the people I love most in this world tonight so it was worth it! I'm starved! I see a frozen pineapple fruit bar in my future!xo

Yes, it is scary SUID. Way too young to have kids. I mean, it would have been nice if in hindsight I'd have had kids earlier but I wasn't ready. Daughter says that she wished I'd have had kids younger but I told her that I wouldn't have had her but a different kid.

What I intended to type other than wpnd was I sometimes wonder if the early worry about morbidity contributed to my alcoholism. I always felt out of kilter with everything.
Doesn't matter now. It is what happened.
OK, so NOW it's bedtime. I'm tired tonight.
