Life has been crazy busy, but good! The boyfriend and I have made it to 4 months and are still going strong, healthiest relationship I've ever had and I love that he doesn't drink like me. My kids and I went to Texas to visit my childhood best friend in Fort Worth from June 24th-July 8th, got home and went to Lifest Christian camping retreat as a chaperone for our church with my 16 year old July 10th-13th, got home and had Janet my al-anon sponsors memorial service July 16th. I came home from that and started with my new hospice client. I spent last weekend for the first time with my boyfriend and had a great weekend away since my kids went to their dads for the week. I have only slept in my own bed a few days this month and I still feel serene and good about everything that is happening. I stay overnight at my hospice job so that is part of why I am not in my own bed and I have been traveling quite a bit for me. I met with my new sponsor today and he said he thinks I am doing really well, he was married to my sponsor Janet and is a double winner as we say.
So life really is going well and I am staying busy. I forgot to mention I broke my right arm (primary arm of course) right before I left for Texas and it is healing well, but still hard to use it and I start therapy on it tomorrow also. My old car broke down and I had to get a new car, but it gets great gas mileage, but I now have a car payment which has motivated me to find a better primary job. My hospice job is only while I am not in school and 2 days a week. My boyfriend signed us up for a 5k in a month and well I got to get better at running for sure, it is only a little over 3 miles, but I bike, swim and work out on a elliptical, but run uggg, I better start and am wondering why I gave him the go ahead now, haha! Yes it will be good for me and I will do it to the best of my ability. I have been missing everyone and getting here and reading with few replies this month I know. I hope all is well with each one of you here and I will try to be more diligent. I have a job interview tomorrow so pray, cross your fingers and/or send good vibes for me please, I would love to quit at the department store I work at in retail and just do healthcare now! Sending you all love and support!

If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see? (Lewis Caroll)
Your new photo makes you look like a completely different person than I remember, BF. I love the update that is so positive and full of life and I can see that reflected in your face. You had shared that you had broken your arm, but glad to know its healing for you even though you do need therapy to help with its return to full use for you.
Hugs .. ugh on the broken arm at least it's temporary right? Sending love and support you remind me to just keep working my program and things will turn around :)
Hugs S :)
