This evening, I announced at 7:30 pm that I was going to an AA meeting.
Jeff said Why?
I said why do you think?
He yelled back "you are not an alcoholic".
I told him he was in denial.
and out the door I went.
It was held in the meeting room at a near by church. There were a lot of cars in the parking lot, people every where.
I wondered if they were having church services.
I filed in with everyone and sort of asked a young woman, Heidi, if this was the AA meeting and she said yes. She invited me to sit next to her.
Wow.
There were over 100 people, I counted them.
This was my 2nd meeting of AA. the first one was a couple of years ago at a different location...there were less than a dozen people and they made me speak.
I did not like that at all.
So this evening I could just sit and watch and listen.
It was very religious. The meeting lasted an hour and there was much discussion about praying and giving the power up to God.
For this I felt very uncomfortable. At the end of the meeting we all got up in a circle and holding hands prayed the "The Lords prayer".
I came home and told Jeff of the hundred people and he was just as surprised as I was.
How is that for avoiding the gym!

Bizi, I wouldn't worry about putting on some weight. Eating a bit too much sometimes happens over the Christmas-New Year period.

I tried AA a couple of times but it did not work for me, maybe because I am not religious. On the other hand somebody who I met when I used to go to a mood disorders therapy group found that it was good for her; she is not religious either.

I suspect that a lot depends on the social dynamics of the group.

I just registered with WFS. women for sobriety.
Am awaiting approval. They have a chat room that I am interested in.
It sounds really good.
Very much affirming....
I think that religion is not their basis.
We will see. Some cities have person to person meetings, we don't.
Maybe this will be the forum for me????

I am cooking a pork roast in the crock pot tomorrow.
Will use cream of mushroom soup and carrots and mushrooms.The roast is preseasoned.


The calling for Doris was this morning at 9-11 before the service.She looked at peace.
I got there around 9;30
I got up at 8am because I had to take a shower.
The funeral home gave me a picture of Doris with her obit inside. It is a lovely picture of her.



my nails are getting so long that i type with them and have to correct a lot of things
as I go along. I should trim them back, but they look pretty so I think I will keep them

a bit longer.I need a pedicure,the hallie cat is licking my toes and occasionally tries to
bite my nail, wonder what about my feet she likes????


Well I got tired of looking so stuffed into my scrub tops that I stopped by the uniform shop
and bought 5 extra large tops 3 blue and 2pinkish.speaking of which I need to go put them in the dryer right now.


the house is hot I turn the thermostat up when we are not home for the day then turn

the air back down to cool the house we like to keep it 72 degrees at night and 75 during the day.
with menopausal hot flashes It sucks being hot.tuesady night I finished most of my billing I ran out of stamps.
Have not charted the directive for the foot care nurses just says that I need to

get doctors orders it doesn't say specifically that I need to chart.
I know I am trying to rationalize not charting.

bad me.
I am so glad for spell check!
I have had 2 drinks 2 days in a row. which is moderation.
I like it.
