Nothing To Report

Hello everyone. Apparently people have been checking for something to read and I haven't posted anything. I haven't really had time. I've been sick for over a week and in Michigan the past two weekends. My brother, sister-in-law and nephew arrive on Wed. which I am super excited about and I have a week off of work! As of tomorrow, 5:15 central time, I will officially be a breast cancer survivor. Yeah me! And this Th. the 14th is my one year AA anniversary. Again, good job me! Hard to believe that I just went through what I went through sober. The past year of my life feels like a dream and I keep hoping I wake up.

Really, I have nothing to report. My job has slowed down (although not enough that I should be writing this while at work) and knowing I am taking some time off has pretty much obliterated my motivation. Right now all I really care about is getting my time entered and cleaning out my email for the flood of traffic that will come in while I am gone - as if I won't be checking it every day.

Anyway, I am a little sad that I will be spending my actual one year anniversary in a town where I have never been to a meeting before. I've only gone to one meeting out of town - so not in Ann Arbor or Chicago. It was in Florida. You know what is really weird actually, thinking about that meeting - there was a guy there at the meeting from the program in Ann Arbor - he was on a trip in Florida at the same time. How strange is that? Small world I guess - or small recovery community.

I am looking forward to spending some time with close friends and family though and am really happy to get to spend my anniversary with so many people I care about. I have like 14 people coming to dinner and the meeting where my friend Pam will give me my token. Honestly, I sort of feel stupid now that all these people are coming - like this isn't that big of a deal. Then again, I just covered every major life stress in my first year of sobriety. Next year, I hope literally nothing happens. I hope I am bored, the entire year.

Okay, well, no time to spell check this - I have to get back to work. Hopefully I will get to post some pictures of me and my nephew soon!
