I WILL DRINK YOUR BLOOD

I made two trips to my sons house today to care for Sabrina the cat. Yesterday I left her a note because I never can find her. Here Kitty, Kitty,Kitty said the note. Now as well as a diary I have a damn cat as a pen pal. I cannot believe this at this time of my life, I am a caretaker to a feline invisible creature. I loved the play and I know about secret names but how do you find out the cats secret name if it is a secret? Well Sabrina answered my note with one of her own. It said Here As—e, next time leave two cans of food open. I will not be out done by this little regent. Tomorrow I will find her and take her to visit the kitchen of a Chinese restaurant to show her what could happen if she insults me again.

Saturday mornings I go to a beginners meeting of AA in an old historic Church. Today listening to the stories of the newcomers I was able to relate to the problems. First of all they wanted to drink. Secondly they wanted to drink like they had before they crossed that invisible line ( there is that word again). I do not know why it would come as a shock to them that they wanted to drink. I want to drink. I choose not to drink. Beginners seem to be embarrassed that they still want to drink and do not hear it enough that this is a normal reaction . I will know that I am in real trouble when I awake at night with a burning desire for a diet Pepsi.

Today was a beautiful day despite a bad weather forecast. I am hoping that tomorrow is also nice as we are going to my eldest sons house along with my daughter and her tribe for Easter dinner I colored the eggs for him to hide around his yard. Thirteen eggs and I am the only one to know which one is not hard boiled. This could be a really interesting day. My granddaughter wants to go to Church tomorrow with us. She is six and just started Sunday School this year. Then it will be back to my house for breakfast. I cannot believe just how much I missed out on due to my disease. I am living proof that it never is too late to change.

Time to go back to my reading. I have finished the new Parker book and was so happy to spend time with Spencer and Hawk again. Now to join Anne Rice and the Vampire Vittorio for an evening of debauchery. I wager that Anne can really leave a date with a hickey.

Today 70%

So happy for your family that you changed, just as my father has done, late in his life. Yes, so much missed, but so much fun now. I’m proud of you and what you do to help others.

Tis true, tis true. It is never to late to recover or debauch. Your line about waking up in the night craving diet Pepsi just cracked me up. Thanks for that. And the nice note. —

Happy Easter Thomas….I will keep you in my daily prayers. May our Father give you the strength & courage you need to fight your battle. I know you will win because you want to . 🙂

I’m enjoying the game Kitty is playing with you. A feral cat has recently allowed me to pet her on the back porch. When I greet her in the front yard, she hisses and runs away.

I like reading your diary. There’s always one line that makes me laugh.
