Six days sober. I figured out of the last 22 days I drank one night and had nothing for 21 days.. I can do it.. I know I can.  Yahoooo. I have been staying busy helping Al fix up a rental home he bought out in Cedar Fort, Ut. It is an old small place ( between 80 and 100 years old) but came with two acres so we are fixing up the house and maybe someday will build a house on the acreage. That wont happen for awhile which is good as I would miss my doves and my fish pond. (Or should I say Als.. lol). Ive been doing the painting and I must say I am not to good at it.Kitty is doing quite well and everytime I pop outside she comes and gets on my lap. Als dil said I could take her to the Humane Society and get her fixed for a good price as she has been a stray for so long. Coco the poodle is so jealous. Coco is spoiled and Al feeds her steak and roast. She use to eat a half of hot dog but now she turns that down as its not good enough for her now. Al has always fed his animals human food. Anyways, we had cut her up a half of hot dog which she would not eat as Al was eating steak so I took it out to kitty with some milk and Coco, being jealous, followed me out. I put the hot dogs into the dish and when kitty came out for it Coco started munching down on them.. I cant believe this spoiled little poodle we have. She is quite funny. When the cat is on my lap she climbs up on too and just looks at the strange creature like she is wondering where she came from. When I get up to go in the house, I put them both down and Coco goes after the cat. I dont know if she is trying to play with her or if she is jealous but its the funniest thing. The cat turns around and hisses at Coco and arches her back and Coco takes off for the doggy door. It is so funny, it gives me a big laugh every day...If the pets and your children dont give you something to really live for, what does? lol.. Oh yea and there was  a bird hawk at the house when we came home last night and had a bird in its mouth. If it eats one of my doves, it will be the last bird it ever eats. Well maybe not but I can sure think that. I will have to have Al figure it out... My doves are so cool, I would be really upset to find one dead.  Ok well this is my story and Im sticking to it.. lmao.. Y'Vonne

Six days. Excellent. When I think back to when I had my last butt I never thought that I would get this far but here I am. I still try not to think about tomorrow or the next day. I just think about today and I find the longer I go the less I think about it at all. You are an amazing person and that is what you should be thinking about. Love ya.
