Actually it was a high day all around.
Met a good friend, Carol, (butch buddy) at 7:00 for breakfast. She, too, has been in addiction recovery for a long time and is director of a local drug clinic. She always has funny stories about clients who pretend to be clean. They tell her, her nurses and her counselors the wildest, most unbelievable stories (lies) and expect to be believed.
After breakfast, we went to a couple farmers markets. Ran into an aquaintance from my home group. She is sober but having a difficult time financially. I gave her my cell number. I am pretty certain I can hook her up with an administrative job. She seemed very happy about that. I am glad when I can help someone.
After Carol and I parted company, I went grocery shopping and other errands. It rained all afternoon but it did not spoil my day.
I got home late. Kelly and Kevin were so happy when I came in the door with an 8 piece box of fried chicken and yelled "chicken picnic" a few times.
Really tired but had so much fun and laughter today!
