Making Lemonade …

Today was a day. It started early, and the first phone call I made was to Louise to see how her homecoming went. It went well. She got to sleep in her own bed for the first time in over 8 months.
She said she was depressed. And then she said that she would not come to my birthday luncheon on Saturday. I said ok. Tolerance for those with different struggles, and powerless over people, places and things. The call was brief. And that was that.
Then I checked my email. Everyone that I had invited to the luncheon canceled their invitation. FUCK ME !!!
I was like, god dammit.
My inlaws did not send a birthday card to me as of yet. My Mother in Law is on my SHIT LIST. No Fucking Christmas this year.
I had things to do today. So that’s what I did presently. Rick called and we decided on Thursday Nighter’s in NDG. I did the transit across town to meet him and Bill. bill has been sober longer than any of us put together. It was a double speaker meeting at 15min/per person. You know, the kind of meeting that uses a timer to count down the minutes. And then, in the middle of a thought we hear RING RING RING…
It was ok. After the meeting, on the way to the Metro, Rick brought up that he would go to the 9 a.m. meeting at St. Matthias Church just up the road from Tuesday’s Beginners. So I told him that I would meet him there on Saturday morning. It’s a discussion meeting. We can get a morning meeting in and skip the night meeting.
We decided to hit a meeting tonight, instead of Finchley tomorrow. He just can’t take all the noise and distraction.
That’s all for tonight. More to come, stay tuned…
