The Day I slept Past Noon....

Today was perhaps the first time in nearly nine months I have slept past the noon hour. Needless to say it was. Amazing. Tossed the covers off my sweat soaked body and sat up slowly in my bed. I looked around groggily, wondering where the fuck I was. Not because I was hungover or had recently been hit over the head with a 2 by 4, but because it was so FUCKING muggy!! Seriously, even as I became conscious of my body and the matter surrounding it I was lost. Don't get me wrong, I love the spring time in Minnesota, but JesusFuckingChrist. I was asleep, not moving, yet I was drenched as though I had run a minute mile.

Needless to say it took me a little while to adjust to our current weather.

After showering and putting on a few items of clothing as possible, meandered down stairs to have lunch with my mother and father. They were grilling burgers, yippee!! They wanted to eat it on the back patio...... eff no, thanks though. I ate on the couch by myself in front of the newly returned window unit I know and love so dearly.

I spent thirty minutes trying to find the FAFSA forms online for the 2010-2011 school year, only to realize it was right in front of me. A+ for smartness!!

I realized how much I appreciate the people I have in my life. Whenever I am feeling down and out, or shitty in general, they come along to pick me up and carry me if need be. Had I not found this herd I would have remained disparaged, ornery, lonesome, wet in the brain, and hollow in my chest. I now have a head full of recovery, and a stomach free of poison. What can I do with it? Help others!

I decided not to long ago that there was no reason to remain at SPC and transferred to Metro State to get my B.S. in Alcohol and Drug Counseling. Not that I can really promote the fellowship/program in that field directly, but it is the kind of work I know I can remain passionate about. Isn't that the point of work and having a career? To find something you are passionate about and run as far as you can?

Who knows what life has in store for me! I certainly don't.

If I had had my way, I wouldn't be here right now.

Let go
