who acted as the guards really took to their job seriously with really ugly 

results. I didn't realize how to start that was till after the movie I decided to look at a message about an

Ok Cupid. Enough said. Larry, Veronica and I took the 21. I've been caught the 33 and then on the way home I met some woman outside of the bishops. We had a very adult conversation. That was a surprise!!!

She initiated the conversation which made it quite comfortable for this 54 year old man. She suggested the dating site called "Bumble." I came home talked to Sharon and AMY and crashed feeling more centered then before.

Friday March 14: Orange Sunrise, Work and New Clothes

Good morning lovers of brilliant, brilliant orange sunrises. It is Friday it's cool but not quite as cold as yesterday. I am seeing that it is a wee bit overcast. I woke up to a painted bathroom and so I cleaned  the dishes this morning. Tonight

Outside My Place

I will be meeting Amy.

The sunrise today was a brilliant orange my God it was nice!! I got off the 21 bus and went straight back to get my coffee. I went to the meeting and

that will listen. I went to La Columbe with folks afterwards and was encouraged by a friend to make a needs & wants list. She said it would help clarify my thoughts.

Now it's off to work. Here I will stick my head in the paperwork and the computer and be free of my

obsessive thoughts. This morning, orange sunrise, pink workplace....

Well I am out of work now. It was a busy day. I had 6 appointments and paperwork to complete. Around 4:15 PM, I took a

till 5:30 PM. I got a nice chunk of this self-directed report completed and I was pleased. That's not done but I've made a lot of progress on that.
