So much done, so much to do. 3 bags recycling taken out, 1 bag food waste. 3 more bags recycling ready to be taken out, another bag food waste. Dishwasher emptied and reloaded. I need to buy garbage bags tomorrow for another garbage bag, probably not full, but maybe halfway. I still don't have counters, but I am a heck of a lot closer! Yay!
I have my table again, and will be writing out my bills tomorrow. Wild! So much done. So much to do, but so much done!
Even though a boring evening in, I have made a lot of progress.

It has been a long timesince I posted. I feel great. I messed up my feet, but other than that I love OA. Funny, well not really I have actually gained weight since joining. However, I just found out that my thyroid dropped extremely low.
So unfortunately, now I have more weight to loose, but what a support system. These people are like me, they eat their feelings, they are learning balance everyday. So many success stories. My sponsor is amazing. Even in the midst of a break up, a move (resulting from the break up)and death of a childhood friend she is still abstinent. I failed on all accounts of those. Ok, maybe moving, but breaking up and death zing, add 50 pounds... Let alone the incredibly horrifying work trauma I experienced last school year. Thanks JB for causing me to have PTSD - yup according to the EAP counselor since the terror I suffered was so long I ended up with PTSD.
Well my sponsor had a hostile work environment previously and guess what she stayed abstinent and got a better job.
How can I miss with these people, with this philosophy of balance, with bringing back my higher power into my life. How can I fail? I can't.
Today I called a local church to find out about using their facility for a Wed night meeting. I hope they call back soon. I need something in the middle of the week and getting to the UDistrict isn't really working for me. There were a couple girls meeting to read, but one is so controlling I have no desire to participate in that.
Also I love the format of the Friday night meeting, but we are losing that space and they are looking at a first hill option. That definately won't work for me.
So fingers crossed on the Wednesday night meeting in QA. Serenity Now - as the character Kramer said, or God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. The courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. As anyone in OA would say!
