But I’m not writing another blog post today just to bitch about the Texas heat. I’m writing one because when was the last time I wrote back-to-back posts on consecutive days? You’d have to go WAY back. Hell, maybe never in this Posthaven platform. So I’m doing it just to do something I haven’t done in a minute.
I entitled this post “Ups and downs” because that describes yesterday pretty well. The day started out beautifully because I completed one full year of sobriety and being “off the bet” as one of the members of my Gambler’s Anonymous group likes to put it. That was a nice feeing.
But then I had to go to work. I wouldn’t really classify that as a “down” but the day would be more fun if I didn’t have to do that. Especially since it’s getting up close to 100 today. So we’ll say it’s a semi-down.
Another “up” came when I was informed my eye surgery had been confirmed to happen next Monday. Nice!
That was closely followed by another up when I called my AA sponsor and he said my making it a year made his day. That was really heartwarming.
Later the hospital called and said the laser broke again. Doh! So no surgery after all next Monday. That was a definite down. Methinks the hospital should invest in a backup laser.
Getting home from work, taking a shower, and relaxing was the up I needed to end a long day.
I hope you have a super-fantastic Saturday today and don’t get too sunburned. Godspeed, my friend!
