Leslee, Lisa and I went to the Washington State Reformatory in Monroe
tonight to do our monthly corrections AA meeting. Traffic was a tough slog taking an hour to
get there for what is a 30 minute drive on the way home. When we got there, we were cautioned that it
might be a few minutes before we could get into the prison.
After waiting outside the lobby door for five minutes, we were let
inside and again warned that it might be awhile before we got into a meeting or
it might not happen at all. Lisa B,
Leslee and I continued to chat until another guard came by telling us that
there would not be a meeting tonight due to internal issues. They are not forthcoming on what is going on,
but it was just as well we were on the outside as opposed to be confined to a
room during an incident (lockdown?).
We were politely shown the door and headed home. It was a two hour drive with great
conversation in both directions. L. is
having a hard time with serious chronic depression which she has been fighting
for years. I can relate to that and am
thankful for my current reasonably optimistic state of mind.
I am grateful for good friends, wonderful conversation and support from
my fellow trudgers on the road to happy destinies. Now I will get to watch one of my favorite
shows, Elementary, which is Sherlock Holmes
set in the present time in NYC with Dr Watson being played by Lucy Liu. Life is good and we are very blessed.
