Ever been? Ever even HEARD of it? Me Neither! And I’m so bummed. I look at all these amazing countries around the world and have to acknowledge that I’ll probably never get to see them – not in person. Life is so fucking short – not to mention that part that none of it isContinue reading “Mauritius”

Is It Possible To Diagnose Oneself With Anything Other Than Being An Alcoholic?
I just thought of something every person on the planet shares – our mortality. It’s unavoidable. But that’s not a diagnosis is it… Hm. I don’t know where this thought came from, but I was laying in bed this morning and this – situation – blew into my mind (this is totally non-fiction): I haveContinue reading “Is It Possible To Diagnose Oneself With Anything Other Than Being An Alcoholic?”
Sometimes, We Need Pizza. 👍
We never know when we’re going to be yanked out of this life. Right? So – sometimes – we really need to live it up. Large. By having pizza for breakfast. I just gulped down a slice of pepperoni with mushroom and extra sauce. And man alive was it DELISH! I’m so happy.
No, Actually, You DON’T Get It!
Alcoholics, Addicts and a few others don’t seem to fully comprehend the fact that their existence on our planet is temporary. As in – there is no more waking up. No more coming around. No more snapping back into it. No more pulling it together. No more chances. My age definitely has something to doContinue reading “No, Actually, You DON’T Get It!”
You Have 9 Minutes Left On The Clock Of Your Existence.
Nine meager minutes! When I’m on the Elliptical and still have another nine minutes to go – that feels like a freakin’ eternity, but if I had only nine minutes left before the alarm rang on my life? Well – – SHIT! I would send my loved ones texts and then I would probably setContinue reading “You Have 9 Minutes Left On The Clock Of Your Existence.”
How Could They Tell The Tree Is Sick?
It looks just like all the other trees on the same street. I took the kittens on a walk earlier and noticed two pieces of bright yellow paper stapled to a tree. The paper states, among other things, that the tree is sick and will be promptly cut down. How do they know the treeContinue reading “How Could They Tell The Tree Is Sick?”
Dolly Parton is Still With Us, Yes?
Last night I had a dream that Dolly died. I found out about this online and my sister just happened to be with me. I mentioned the news to her, but somehow she’d already found out, and she was quite upset about it, which I found odd because neither of us ever listened to Dolly’sContinue reading “Dolly Parton is Still With Us, Yes?”
I Was Too Busy Looking Out The Window
We’re talking YEARS here – to learn the simplest lesson in the history of humanity! It took me 23 years to learn that if I wanted to get sober – and stay sober – all I had to do was stop drinking. That’s it. That’s all I ever had to do. Every day. I didn’tContinue reading “I Was Too Busy Looking Out The Window”
Aliens Are Here
At least they were in my dream. I remember that at first everyone was afraid and hiding, partly due to the fact that these aliens were invisible. We knew they were in the air, but we couldn’t see them. When they arrived, they turned the sky a light pale pink color. And they weren’t justContinue reading “Aliens Are Here”
Pretty Death
Is falling peaceful … ? I hope so …
The Snake
I had to kill a snake the other day. I had to do it or it would have died slowly and painfully. It was on the bike path and I think someone had ridden over its head with their bicycle. When I walked up to it I noticed blood on the pavement that was comingContinue reading “The Snake”
Our AV Never Dies
It just quiets down sometimes. This is the conclusion I’ve arrived at. I read or hear about folks accumulating decades of sobriety, only to cave one day for – essentially – nothing. All that time. All that hard work – POOF – left in the past. Once a person relapses – that restarts the sobrietyContinue reading “Our AV Never Dies”
OUCH.
Sometimes life just isn’t much fun. Sometimes we have to make really uncomfortable choices and decisions. And then we have to face the consequences of those decisions. BLAH. Zero Fun!! But life doesn’t wait around while we trudge along, does it … no. It doesn’t seem to care much for our difficulties. Traffic still speedsContinue reading “OUCH.”
