Today was filled with recovery activities.
We left early for the clinic to take Michelle by DSHS to get some forms
she needed to fill out. After the
meeting, I talked with a guy that drank last night and got fired this
morning. I had him read The Doctor’s Opinion to me. Then we talked for a few minutes, I gave him
my phone number and was on my way.
I got to the pool only to realize it was a bad time to start swimming
since lessons started in 20 minutes. I
came home for two hours during which Lea and I finished off the 4th
step in our workbook. After that, I took
Lea to Seattle to meet with lawyer for help with getting on SSI.
Two hours later I had a ticket for parking in the loading zone and we
were on our way home. We picked Michelle
so she and Lea could take a beginning beading class at Ben Franklin in Redmond. Michelle wanted to go to a meeting and I went
to the beading class with Lea. For $5
each, we got lessons on how to crimp bead wire endings, tools and the materials
to make one bracelet. It went well.
We finished beading with enough time for me to make the night swim. I
came home to make dinner and relax.
Michelle was gone. Turned out she
had stayed at the Alano Club for two meetings.
She called for a ride home. When
I picked her up, she asked if Libby could spend the night since she had got
kicked out of her Oxford house this morning after testing positive for “poppy
seeds”.
I had dinner and realized I had a newcomer on my hands for the second
time today. Libby read The Keys to the Kingdom, the story of
the first woman in AA that also started AA in Chicago. Now I get to write my Gratitude blog.
I am grateful for a full day recovery and of being of service to
others. It sure beats sitting home
isolating by myself.
