Good news

I'm still clean and sober. Seems like no one else around is--but I have no control over other people.

When I went out to day to water a plant that is almost dead due to a cold spell we had, I had found someone had planted new plants for me. Then I turned around to go back into the house and there was a $5 bill stuck on my door. It was only held on by the early morning dew. That was a nice surprise.

THANKS again my friend!  I don't know what I would do without you!  I would definately have used mouthwash omg.  And noI don't drink so I don't have to worry about that.  Someone said cologne would show alcohol also, so it must be a stinky class lol.  Any way I just got back from having lunch with my sweety.  I went to walmart afterwards so he wouldnt have to he has a fire chiefs meeting tonight and he doesnt get off till 5 so I wanted to get groceries and stuff out of the way but he went with me to walmart before returning to worl I hurt my wrist and my ribs at the skating party lol I didnt know it was so sore until I moved most of my stuff yesterday and the night before guess I over did it.  NO MORE skates for this lil old lady lol or I feel old right now hahahahaha  HEY I love resale shops, and goodwill and garage sales, you can get some great things at I call them garbage sales lol  I bet half my wardrobe is from those places.  I am soooooo glad you are looking for another job, you will do fine my friend, you give off an aura even here of being self-assured and very high self esteen.  You walk in there like a million dollars, you WILL get the job!  I am a nurse by trade and that is one of the things I learned to walk in like you have the world by the tail when you go job hunting, even if your insides are tied in a knott like mine usually is lol I do it when I go to PB too I have to psych myself out before going but you gave me the courage to do that :o)  You will be fine g/f.  HUGZZZZZZZZZZ I'll be praying for you

I'm sure you don't drink, I really don't know but they do check for alcohol when you go to those classes. Don't even use mouthwash before you go to be on the safe side. When I went I had to tell my story and so on. Some people as you can imagine are angry when they go, but I know you will be just fine. I just want you to get this done with and be able to relocate. Like I told you before I was told once I took the classes and paid the fines they would let me go back to court to get off probabtion early. That's what I hope for you.

Otherwise what are you doing with yourself??

I'm all signed up all I have to do is return for like 4 days the DWI class is 3 nights and the other is one night.  I want those out of my way.  And if they do not let me rlocate then I will keep getting 30 day passes till my year is up.  Thanks my friend for all of your help, I couldnt have done it without you.  I had no clue what I was in for with probation, you have helped me tremendously in not letting them scare me.  And I am so proud of you you are a ROCK!  You have done wonderful.  Keep up the great work.
HUGZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Awwwwwwwww this is sooo sweet!  You know, people see the changes in us all and I feel we see the world in a new light.  Sometimes I wonder if I am too happy and if this is just a dream and can it last.  I haven't posted I got my stuff all done and got a 30 day pass from PO and didnt let any grass grow under my wheels lol  There are no more classes scheduled until the 20th ans 21st of March.  So I am back with my wonderful guy.  I keep pinching myself to see if I'm dreaming I am at peace with the world.  Hugzzzzzz Dove

I understand you being nervous, go in w/ your head held high and even if you don't feel it...act as if you do...

tell your boss you have a DR. appt...you don't need him jumping all over your case before you go to the interview...

YOU CAN DO THIS>>>>>>

without change there is no progress....I like that!!!

you are changing and progressing right before our eyes...even if you don't see it or feel it...BELIEVE IN YOURSELF....I BELIEVE in YOU!!!

It's sometime this week. I have to find something decent to wear and make sure I have a ride. It's not far but, appearences do make a difference. I guess, I'm a little nervous about the entire thing. Not sure what to say to my boss. He is a jerk, but has done me favors.

I don't do change well either. I heard someone say on TV the other day without change there is no progress.

I go to goodwill stores and 2nd hand stores and the vintage stores are more pricey. But I have found brand new things. I think when someone dies the family just gives everything away.

I did buy a very expensive pair of boots for $5 at a garage sale once. It was sad because the lady had cancer. I could tell by the soles they had never been worn--just brand new. When ever I go to these sales I always bargin with them.

The day after valentines day---a man was still selling roses but for much less and I asked if I could have a some for free and he said no. So I started to walk away and he said hey lady and threw me a bunch. I thought that was nice.

It's not that I'm cheap, I just don't have extra money.
