in much improved spirits. not bitching, more introspective and forward looking talk. he also spoke to his sponsor today. then we got a call that he'll be out of there just as soon as a bed opens up at treatment center. we had been more recently worrying that he'd be held much longer than that if his attitude didn't improve.
stress level: yellow
we went to our second al-anon meeting today. i wept through most of it. quietly, of course. shut up. it will get better. it -- heh.
bill's got a cake in the oven, and i just put some breaded chicken tenders in alongside (ok. not really alongside -- on higher shelf). interesting mix of odors. wish there was room for a double oven here!
the republican convention site selection committee was in town today to tour cleveland. right now there's a fireworks display for the committee. we can see it out our windows. nothing to write home about.

Posted by: KathyHowe at August 23, 2006 10:20 PMI am here as proof to show that Al-Anon really does get better. I swear if you stick with it you won't cry through every meeting. I cried through the first six months (not always quietly), but it does improve.
Hugs.

Posted by: Anji at August 26, 2006 03:45 AMI don't know anything about al-anon. I think I know some people who should be going there. I hope it is all good. Love and hugs and all of that to all of you. Anything else I can do, please ask.
