My car stalled on the way to work today, and put a slight "funk" in my day.  I am trying to use gratitude.  I'll be ok!  My needs are taken care of.  I can wait for it to be re-repaired.  I'd just driven past my friend who lives near work and was giving me rides home last week, taking me to the meeting after work when my car was in the shop, & I could walk home from the meeting.  So after we stopped our cars and chatted my car stalled and I was able to call and ask him for a ride to work.  Now as far as planning my weekend without a car, it's all good!  The book signing is more than a week away and I'm willing and able to rent a car for that if need be!  It seems to be the same problem that was just repaired so hopefully it's a minor adjustment, and the mechanic will be in on Monday and hopefully it will all be taken care of.  Trust God! Last night was pretty incredible.  At work we make these canopies and we were doing one for some people who are racing for NHRA this weekend it turns out.  Last night I got to go drop it off with my coworker at the race!  I was able to tell the parking person why we were there and not have to pay, and be able to go up to "the pit" and the guy at the fence of the pit, I knew from AA!  Just aquaintances.  So we called the guys we made the canopy for, and then the guy at the gate who I knew let us drive in so we could deliver it.  Exciting environment.  After we drove out we parked and they were no longer collecting tickets so we got to go in and see some semi pro and amateur races.  I like my coworker and I've had a little crush on him.  I wanted to cuddle, like I have noticed lately with crushes, whoever they may be.  I realize this and try to comfort myself so as to not start something inappropriate.  I really miss having a bf at this point or someone to cuddle with, etc.  I had driven and parked near a meeting by the races, and had him drop me off there afterwards.  I needed a meeting and was only going to make the last few minutes, but the clock was 10 mins slow so I got part of a meeting!  Anyway it was interesting to get to know my coworker outside of work.  We get along very well. I am not promiscuous anymore, but I used to be when I wasn't sober.  A guy was smoking pot next to us.  It didn't bother me.  The environment was a lot of fun for me at the race track, and a nice perk for it being work related.  We were supposed to distribute business cards and didn't really get the chance to, unfortunately.  I was just happy I got to go. So on the way out of the racetrack I ran into an old friend from the city, who I found out was also invited to that book signing and after party I am so excited about.  I told him I have no idea how I was invited.  He knows the woman who invited me.  He volunteers for a radio station, too.  Small world.  He may not be there, though.  We like much of the same music so we talked a while. I usually only see him at concerts and it's been a couple years.  It was a fun night!  It was great to see him.  When I was stoned all the time I was much more paranoid. I ended with a whole pint of Ben N Jerrys and couldn't even stay up to watch tv. I needed sleep. I have ghost presense dreams sometimes and last night's was very vivid, think "Medium" or "Ghost Whisperer", but with a different slant. I kind of like that I have that side of me though some people may think it insane.  I don't know, it's real to me. I went to a great MA meeting Wednesday and to see a band, thanks to a free pass from the radio station where I volunteer.  I was able to talk to the singer a little bit.  I had a great time.  It was nice to be in my old neighborhood in the city.  I went by my old house which is walking distance from the club.  I had the worst haunting there.  Maybe that is what lead to the presense dream?  I miss living there lately, but I welcome the comforts of a home town and HOME.
