Death of a newspaper...

My emotions got the best of me last night. I was exhausted from working 8 hours 2 days in a row, dealing with a-hole demanding customers (the flyer with the golden coupon came out the day before), being on my feet all day, having to smile when all I wanted to do is sit in a corner, drink and cry. Fortunately I was too tired to do either, except cry. I hadn't eaten all day and cooked myself a Bertoli Shrimp Scampi dish. I was even too tired to eat it so dinner is all set for tonight.

Boy, Donna, it's a good thing you and I aren't together right now or we'd cancel each other out. LOL I've been having one of those weeks, too, and I've been having one crying jag after another. Well, at least we have our PT friends for encouragement, right? Hang in there, girl, and enjoy that dinner tonight.

My sponsor called me back. She told me that the Hartford Courant is beyond my control (Serenity Prayer???) and I have to put my disease ahead of anything else. She's right. I'm going to an AA meeting tonight at 6 pm.

Right now I'm suiting up and going to hang out at my friend's pool with my kid.

Thanks for all your support and kindness guys!! You're the best!!

I was worried - and was going to email you about calling your sponsor. Glad you two have been in touch.

Remember - 'accepting' something does NOT mean liking it. It just means realizing the reality of what is happening, and being as okay with it as possible, seeing the Big Picture.

Catty1,

God grant me the serenity to ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE, the courage to change the things I can and THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

I'm off to a meeting. Stay tuned. I'll call ya when I get back.
