Mom in the Snow Country

Hi there everybody, I just got back from spending 3 really nice days back in the snow country. I thought I would want to stay once I got up there but quite the contrary. I really had a nice time but it was really good coming home. I really missed Perfect and sadie grey and my couch. lol
I went up there to celebrate my 11 years of sobriety. I got sober there so I wanted to go back. They gave me a card that everyone had signed and also a birthday cake. My friend that I went up there with gave me a really special 11 year chip on a chain so I can where it as a necklace. We went to a lot of meetings which was really good. It had been a while since I had attended that many meetings in that short amount of time. It was really nice to go to the meetings. To another person who is a member of A.A. they would really understand. I don't know what happened to my font, tried to correct it but it didn't help. I tried some more buttons and that helped a little.lol My friend took me and a couple to dinner at the Outback...my favorite place. I had my ususal...Alaskan king crab legs. Normally I can eat all of it but this time I couldn't...so sad. I also developed a cough while I was up there. Smoked like 5 cigarettes one day. Nasty habit!! Anyway it is really good to be home and I just hear I may get to see my grandson this Sunday. Awesome. It's been awile since I have seen him. I am sure he won't know me but that's o.k. I never thought that I would be glad to be mom in the city but I am. I guess I am finally adjusting to my new surroundings. You Think!! Well that willl be all from me for now...but I will return<3

just another day in the city

Hi everybody, The first thing I want to do is comment on SadieGreys last post. I was so proud of her and in her insight fullness after going with me to an A.A. meeting. It seriously brought tears to my eyes as I read it. This maybe the wrong place to make comments on a blog but I guess I will learn as I go. I am currently in the process of finding a primary care physician so that I can ultimately end up seeing a dr. for my back. I already had a back fusion where they go in and install a titanium rod and cage to fix my chronic back disease known as degenerative discs disease. My back is killing me right now...only when I sit, stand, or walk. So off I go for the search of a good family doc. It was really great attending my first AA meeting here in town. The people were great and sharing as usual was really informative. I look forward to attending more meetings. Kemo and I are getting ready to go to the pharmacy to hopefully pick up some medications that I phoned in and to drop off another one. I am feeling more settled in that I have been. I seem to be able to cry at least once daily...just the emotions of the big move. I am living with my son and daughter-in-law and they are both really going out of their way to make sure I am comfortable. I love them both dearly. I am surely blessed. So I will go for now and do our errands. I will return to blogging soon.

This is my second day of using my blog. I have just recently sold most of my belongings and moving from snow country to a huge city where the lows here are higher than our highs back home. It was a decision made by both me and one of my sons and my daughter-in-law. At times I have wondered if I made a good decision or not. I have multible sclerosis and it has come to a time when it is best to not live alone any longer. I really believe in the long run, when we get all of our kinks worked out that this will indeed be a good decision. This is a town that i was born in and left when i was 23...many years ago and swearing i would not return to this God-forsaken heat infested city. Well, here is proof that one should never say never! There are some real positives to this move. The first one is I get to be with most of my family. Besides living with one of my son's & daughter-in-law, I am about 30 minutes away from another one of my sons and another daughter-in-law and a beautiful granddaughter. Totally Awesome! Tonight I am hoping to go to my first A.A. meeting down here. Should be interesting. Since I have been gone so long from here I have no clue where anything is. I get lost taking a walk around our apartment...I don't look forward to getting out there and finding out where everything is coz I am sure I will get lost. After re reading what I have wrote down I find that I could be termed as passive-aggressive. Not sure if I want to do anymore blogging if I am going to find out things like that. Oh well I will continue to blog...it might be helpful. Well, I will close for now. I hope I get some comments on my blog. Thanks for reading this.

My first day in the city

Today is my first day at bloggin. I am not sure what I want to say but I know I would like comments on whatever I write. Tomorrow Perfect & I are going to visit an old women in a nursing home. That woman would be my mom. She is not doing well physically or mentally. Hopefully the trip will go well. It will be very helpful having Perfect along. I am trying to adapt to city life. I moved here from a small town that was alot colder than here. Boy there are alot of people here. I lived here 30 years ago. Things have really changed since then....freeways everywhere!!!! The heat is horrible...not used to anything over 85 degrees. Well, I will close for now but will be back again soon....
