Journal - Saturday, July 11,26

It’s an overcast day.  Lovely weather.  Warm but not too hot,  Slight breeze.  I have the door open.  Just the screen door.  Last week with the sun out it was so hot that even with all the blinds closed it was 80 in the Thor.  Now it’s 77 and the A/C comes on occasionally. I have the front blind at Half mast and the awning is out.

I took the jeep in yesterday and they’re now waiting for a part again.  The warning light continues on.  I had to be there for 8 am and did some work but wasn’t into it.   I billed a few hours yesterday though with calls in the afternoon. 

I was fasting.  Thursday I’m a bit crazed by the work and figure I wind down on Saturday.  I finished reading a recent Clive Custer with the Oregon ship.  I watched a western I’d seen before,  I slept but poorly. Waking a couple of times to pee.  I’d been drinking lots of fluids fasting.

Today I had yogurt and boiled some soft boiled eggs. Enjoyed the meeting. Terry is at the IDAA in Chicago.  500 people there.  I enjoyed the meeting. I feel an outsider.  A couple had relapsed , One doing well.  
I enjoyed the visit to Dr. Ready, chiropractor.  I picked up laundry after. Then drove to the East African store where I bought 7 kg of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe green beans.  I also got some dates and stopped in a a shop where I bought some ground beef. They had a variety of sausages and I got 4 Tuscany. I think I’ll go back some days and get the Roumania.  I am also glad I bought the caraway seed edom. I also bought a litttle 2 quart crock pot.  I’m planning on making of chilli.  I will return to my making stew and curry too,  I’ll have enough for a meal and a left over meal or two.  A change from my focus on barbecuing.  I may be making a move to being healthier and less meat.  

I’m breaking even financially but not much more.  I talked to Dave and he hopes to get a couple of thousand for the boat and trailer and motor.  Entropy.

Thank you Jesus for Madigan and this day, this home, my life, my sobriety, my family and friends and work.
