DREAM WOMAN X TWO

As plans are known to do, mine changed. I had the afternoon free I thought as my wife and daughter were in NY to see a play. I had intended to take a run down to the New Hope area and spend a day with my favorite person, ThomaS. One thing after another keep infringing upon the time I had at work and it was too late when I finally finished. I had to abandon my plans and improvise. I went to the Mall and had something to eat and did some comparison shopping. I needed a new printer for the office computer and settled on an HP 895 model. This is a fast inkjet printer with good color capabilities and I found it in three different stores at the same price. I will install it tomorrow and have it up and running for Monday. See how positive I am. This is impressive for someone who never used a computer before August 1998.

Today at the beginners AA Meeting a young woman told the group that she wanted desperately to drink. Then she also told us that she wanted to die. Having gotten that off her chest and having received some feedback she calmed down and seemed sheepish. The leader thanked her and told her that he comes to meetings to hear pain like hers and that she had made it possible for him not to drink today. I could not agree more with him because as she was speaking I was nodding my head, Yeah, right on. If I could go out and drink today, get blasted and sick and in trouble but stop and not have to drink tomorrow, I would do it. That is not the way it works with me. If I pick up again it will destroy my choice gland. I will not have a choice anymore as to drink or not drink. It was a difficult lesson for me to learn and it sounds so simplistic, that it is the first drink that will get you drunk. I darn sure could drink more than one with my tongue tied behind my back. If I do not pick up the first drink there will be no others. I would then lose all that is dear to me and become once more the person that disgusted me so much. It is not worth the first drink as for me the price is too high.

I did at least find my dream girl today. Actually I found two and could not choose between them. They are sisters and my grand daughters. Back from vacation in Florida, tan and healthy, and happy to see me. All is well in the corner of the world I inhabit.
