    30 Days Sober

    I went with Flea Market Guy to his AA meeting today. He’s been sober for 30 days. And I think we’ve been shacked up for about 28 of them. A month ago, I had a hard time imagining this day. I was certain he would take a drink. More than once. But he’s been really… Read more

    And So I Jumped…

    I got into an argument with my so called “boss” on Friday. I thought as the weekend wore on I would change my mind like I usually do from “fuck you, I don’t need this job,” to “fuck it, just go do the job and get the pay check.” I was wrong. The whole weekend… Read more

    Super Therapist is Closing Shop

    I had an appointment with Super Therapist today. I spent 45 of our 60 minutes together bitching about work. I hardly ever talk about work because I rarely let it affect me. Today, though, I had a small panic attack at work. Not the kind that leaves me in tears and unable to breathe or… Read more
