Tuesday, February 24: A Late Yet Productive Day☕️

Getting Ready to Leave

I woke up really funky and tired with a funky feeling my stomach. I ate a big bowl cereal and

24th Street

feel little bit better I tidied up yesterday's blog and read an article  about Google putting adult sites

The 48 Arrives

as private with only 30 days notice.

I read one of the sites on Blogger called One Track Mind  which

From Russia w/ Love

is basically a sex site but it's not pornographic by any stretch of the imagination just give

Frank sex talk by the British woman. As you know Blogger is owned by Google.

Well I didn't leave the

When I came in to work feeling pretty wrapped up tight and pissy. Specially after I got a bunch a

At the end my polished off the two reports and a got two thirds of my alerts

done. Result is I have a sheet load of appointments. This is over the next three days. Well I decided to go to the

gratitude and go to a café called Miel Patisserie. It's an understated  place it's only open till seven but

17th and Delancey

that's okay cause it's closer to where I want to be than any other coffee shop.

They are now playing Spirit in the sky. I may have a visitor March 7 and 8th. A pen-pal from Russia. This ought to be interesting and a trip. It will surly break up the Winter doldrums.  Well, 3 days left of my caseload then I switch assignments and supervisor. Its cold but that seems to be nothing new. March

My Path Home

is RIGHT around the corner. March is a transitional month and is my anniversary month as well. There are always surprises

Comcase Center

in the Ides of March. I suspect that this will be the case this year as well. I'm now walking about six blocks the arch Street to catch the 48. I just finished the gratitude meeting which was pretty cool but ran over A we bit so I'm walking and very thankful

that it's not windy. Will as expected, Pres. Obama vetoed the keystone pipeline legislation that pass

Congress. http://bit.ly/1afZcAs I think that's a good thing. Who potentially harming fireman not help our energy needs

Fear, Shame and Recovery

In the last year I have progressed but as the weekend shows more and more I have to think of what I do affects me.

I need to seek guidance and reach out before I take actions that could do harm to me and my new sobriety. First off lets be on time for the 7:15am meeting. That is in my control. As my friend put on Google+  "MAKE FRIENDS WITH YOUR FEAR."
Its March, a month of hope, a month to pay heed, and the gateway to Spring.
A week away from a year and I am not my fear.

March 11th 2010

It was our 15th anniversery today. I took off work and we did it our own way. We got some sleep, had some good coffee and did some errends. We went to the Millville Queen to have a bite so there would be a blood test before and after eating. We loaded up on the carbs and then got the car cleaned. Next we went to Bridgeton to check out 2 houses that are on the market. You know how bad this market is so we for the hell of it wanted to see what was out there. The first was a beautiful Victiorian selling for $158K. It had large rooms hardwood floors and high ceilings. Back 6 years ago it was selling for OVER 300K. We would need devine intervention and some big $$ coming our way to get that house. Next we went to a twin selling for 69K. It was not in bad shape, not in a crappy neighborhood and had a nice little yard. We did not get to see the inside of this house but Carolyne will be going out tomorrow to see it with a realitor. Here is a video of this house.
This house faces a large cemitary and is near Cumberland Manor at the west end of Bridgeton. We stopped by Carolyne's daughter's house and had a dog jamboree. Our 2 dogs romped around with her 5 dogs. During this visit the final plans for me to pick up 40 postcards for the Twin Peaks Art Exhibit tomorrow at Frankford Avenue
