Can I Use Your Toaster?

I am in a much better mood today than I have been the last few days. I've been so crabby and no fun to be around, but today I feel much better. I've been averaging about five to six meetings a week, which has been great, and I've met a bunch of wonderful people. I went to my favorite meeting last night, a women's Step and Tradition meeting, and talked to the woman who may become my sponsor. I am very grateful to AA for helping me to find some semblance of serenity in my life.

I've been reading books on Recovery every chance I get. I'm trying to immerse myself in Recovery materials in the hopes that sobriety will stick this time. I've had periods of sobriety before, but wasn't as serious about it as I am this time, so hopefully that will make a difference.

The Drunken Midgets are getting excited for school to start, and I am thrilled beyond belief that in a couple weeks I'll have my house back during the day. I love them dearly, but they are starting to drive me insane. I came home from school yesterday to the youngest just sobbing cuz her sister had hit her for being bossy or some such reason. That was fun. NOT! I just love coming home to a fight.

And I have to get my lazy ass up off the couch soon and start picking up cuz the cleaning lady is coming today. It should only take an hour to get it picked up, but I'm not looking forward to it. I hate cleaning.

I am utterly and completey exhausted. I've been waking up really, really early, like at 2:30 in the morning, and not able to get back to sleep. It really sucks. But, it's given me plenty of time to read, that's for sure. I want to go to the bookstore today and pick up a book I saw on Buddhism and Recovery, but I'm not sure if I'll get up there or not. I have two appointments for me today, and the eldest has a violin lesson and a doctor's appointment today, so I'll be pretty busy.

I drink way too much coffee. And I've been smoking like a chimney. I really have to cut down on both of those things. Every time I start to run low on smokes I think, Maybe I'll quit today, but then the Drunken Midgets start fighting or a bill collector calls and I'm off to the store for more. Besides, it was hard enough to quit using, I think I'll save quitting smoking and caffeine for another day.

So, I will continue vibrating into other dimensions for a bit longer.

I am so fucking bored. I could be doing homework but it's not even 6:30 in the morning yet, and that's just way too damn early to do homework. But it would be nice to get it over with. I have to write a business letter about, get this, pigeons who were poisoned by the Hilton, of all things. Go figure.

In other news, I have to call to register for fall semester today. Starting in October I'll be up to full time. But, I will always have Friday's off as they don't have class on those days, so that will be nice. I'm hoping I don't have to take all business classes next sem cuz they are so very boring. I'm dying in Keyboarding and Business Writing. They are the most boring classes on the planet.

It is so damn humid outside. I'm so sick of heat and humidity. This weekend it was nice and cool and I didn't even have to have the air on, which was nice as my electric bill was close to $200 last month. But, it did rain this weekend, which threw my pain into overdrive. Yet, I do like the rain. Especially on days when I can sleep in. I love to curl up in bed and listen to the rain as I fall asleep. And we needed the rain badly, it's been so dry this summer.

K, well, I'm off to read some more.

Laters!
