thanks for the kind words.
This would have been my 19th day. I got so worked up yesterday and this morning I simply couldn't calm down so I'm drinking today.
I'm not all that depressed about it but feel bad about the "contract" I signed with my daughter. How will I explain that one? I guess I need to exclude her from my drinking struggle since I don't want to make her any more codependent than she already is.
I'm thankful for any and every day I manage not to drink. I'll try to keep it down to a low roar today. At least I can't play high stakes poker at pogo - I don't have any tokens to play with.
It's so strange that once I cancel my pogo.com subscription and cash in all my tokens, I win $250.00. Add to that it's a full moon.
Last night I went for a walk and I immediately looked for the moon - I knew it was near full. I had the full moon heebie jeebies. It's like high tide in my head.
As I opened my first beer - which I'm still on - a hawk appeared outside my window. I kid you not. We watched each other for 5 minutes. It perched on a fence post less than twenty feet away.
It seemed interested in the birdbaths on my patio but didn't take the plunge. The resident squirrel, only ten feet away, scolded it with impunity. Later I saw crows gathering to harrass the hawk in a nearby tree.
Hawks don't get no respect around here.
