Good Saturday Morning!! I haven't been writing lately, but have been reading here and there and am just so 
right now.
First of all July and others in the horrid weather zone hope you are ok. I've been thinking about you and hope you and yours are safe and well.
Next MM I am so, so sorry I missed your "official" 30 day celebration. I worked a long hard 12 hours that day, ate dinner and crawled into bed. Wonder, I saw on the general boards that you too have passed the 30 day mark, I'm so proud of you. I know the struggles both of you have gone through to get this far and know that you won't let your guard down. You both give so much to others at MWO and deserve only the very best for yourselves.
Cindi- I am so sorry to hear of your personal and family struggles right now and hope that you can find the right combination of support and medication to help you through.
Mary - Keep going, you know that your future holds wonderful things if you stay your course.
Deter- Hope you are feeling better. It sounds as if you had an absolutely horrible week.
tkeene- What a wonderful support you are to everyone here.
Lucky if you happen to fly by -quack.
Now its all about me. First clue-The best part of my week was the dentists appointment-gums are improving.
As you may or may not know I work in Maternal Child Health, usually in testing which is usually fairly low on the drama scale. Not right now drama up to about 8 out of 10 with the clear message "It really doesn't matter what the nurses who work in the department think or need or think is best for the patient, we're going to do it this way". Just swell!
Since my census has been slow, I've been picking up time in Labor and Delivery where the staffing has been abysmal for the last several months. More drama, low morale computerized charting that I struggle with constantly and hard physical work. I almost had to have a patient's father removed because he was in my face telling me he didn't care what the rules were, he was going to go in and she his daughter anytime he wanted...blah, blah, blah. Security happened to be standing there as I was talking to the guy and took him off the unit.
And just to add a little more fun to the mix, there is a plan in the works to change the way that ultrasounds are done in the testing room and I may be out of a job!
So fine, just fine. Thursday I have a day off. I'm going dig out my sewing machine and play around on it for awhile. Get the machine, get the notions. set everything up and--no feet for the sewing machine. I go back to the large storage area and am confronted with a wall of stuff, sewing, knitting, etc a frickin wall. And all I can think is "this is the consequence of all those years of drinking and eventually you're going to have to face it, but not today".
So there it is my rambling whine, believe it or not you've gotten the readers digest version.
However, I am fairly healthy, realatively sane(ish), can pay my bills, have a family and friends who love me and a community of people who will listen to my woes and sorrows without judgement.
I hope that we all have a safe and sober weekend.
Love and Peace
Rob
