Excellent counseling session today after a bad one last time. That's why it's important to stick with counseling progress might be uneven but it's there. Made the reservations for Las Vegas. It took me awhile to get comfortable with the idea of going but I am now. The only problem is that Lisa can't... Sign in to see full entry.

Las Vegas.(or Lost Wages as my late stepfather called it) is coming together. Mom says I should stay at a place on the strip because it would be too expensive to rent a car. I imagine the hotels on the strip cost more but I guess it evens out and I suppose staying on the strip would be more... Sign in to see full entry.

Well THAT was a lousy New Year's. Got sick at the beginning of the weekend got well just in time to miss the fun. Signed up for class at church starting Tuesday. First time in a couple of years I've been healthy enough to take a class. Hooray. Emailed Mom to ask her advice about Las Vegas. She's... Sign in to see full entry.

I got my 401K money. It was more than I thought almost $7,000. That should last me until summer and by that time. I should have my social security for sure. Either that or I will have become a Pulitzer Prize winning writer:) I'm sponsoring a singles group happy hour tonight. I made a reservation for... Sign in to see full entry.

Had a really good time at Happy Hour last night, even though it was mostly men. I noticed at Aunt 'Cilles over Christmas and again last night that I seem to be more comfortable in social situations. That surprizes me because I love socializing I didn't think I could get much more comfortable than I... Sign in to see full entry.

Going to Chammps twice today. They have specials on Mondays. Went for lunch with Lisa this afternoon going with the singles group this evening. I'm sponsoring Union Jack's on Wednesday but I don't know how much of a turnout with the holidays and the cold weather and all. Didn't go to the movie last... Sign in to see full entry.

Had a good time at Aunt 'cille and Uncle Woodie's. Glad I got to go. They're in their eighties and even though they're in pretty good shape, there's still a chance they won't be around much longer. It was inspiring to meet their eighty nine year old friend who still teaches aerobics. I'm going to... Sign in to see full entry.

Kind of a quiet day. Visited Melanie for awhile we exchanged gifts. She gave me two spiritual books both of which I think I'll enjoy although they aren't Science of Mind. One is by Joyce Meyer whom I really like. Even though she's a traditional Christian minister she talks about things that can make... Sign in to see full entry.

Not a very good session with my therapist today. She discouraged me about getting social security and about seeing other women besides Lisa. The Lisa thing has an explanation. She's met Lisa a couple of times because her Dr is in the same office and I sometimes take her to her appointments. Now my... Sign in to see full entry.

Well Rev Lee came by today and we had our little discussion. I was disappointed. I was hoping for more give and take but it was basically her trying to make a Christian out of me I found out she works with a lot of other mental health consumers. Most of them probably wouldn't argue with her like I... Sign in to see full entry.
