A nice man came to my house this afternoon to restore my internet access. I needed and got a new modem. And now I have access again to the world wide interwebs. woo! hoo!The moment I checked my blog again, I decided to change my blog name again. It has been on my mind for a while. My blog was originally named "Anonymous Alcoholic" which seemed a bit too close to "Alcoholics Anonymous" to me. When another fellow came along and called himself that, I decided to change my name rather than fight him. I thought "One Sober Alcoholic" was a good name, since that is what I am. But others came along and used names so similar to mine that they actually confused me! So I sat down this afternoon and thought about it for a minute and came up with "Being Sober" and will try this on for size for a day or two. It is what my blog is about. Just being sober, the good, the bad, and the ugly. And the grateful, happy, and serene...
I have had a wonderful weekend. I am ready to get back to work tomorrow. All the activity and attention has just been over the top. I like my normal and quiet life. I like the breaks in it, but I am happy to resume the way things normally are. Quiet.
I have a triathlon next Sunday and then a week of vacation scheduled. I scheduled the vacation for a class that I decided last week not to take. The schedule of mandatory furlough days was announced last week and when I considered that I am taking at least a 2.5% cut in pay and maybe more, I decided I ought not to spend a bunch of money for a class that is really an expensive indulgence. Now if I can only make some more good decisions like that...
I was going to write about some traditions today, but have gotten side tracked. Maybe tomorrow.
Let's all thank God for a good and sober day, OK?

kinda confusing.

Love the new name. Perfect for your blog.
Whatever the name, I take comfort that it is still you under it all. Hope all goes well with triathlon training. It is hot here--too hot for much outdoor activity.
I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date!
Happy 25th, belatedly!!!
Your story about buying the ruby earrings made me get a little damp-eyed here at work. I'm glad you treated yourself to something you have wanted for such a long time. You have earned them!
