A few days have passed and today is my second meeting at Al-anon.  It is later this evening and I am looking forward to going.  I think  I am going by myself tonight but it doesn't matter I am doing it for myself.  I had therapy yesterday and the session went great, I really let loose and talked and talked.  My sessions have been going well, they are about once a month or like every three weeks.  It is nice to go I look forward to them.  It usually makes me feel better to get things off my chest and into the ears of others.  I have really made it a point to not bottle so much up anymore.  My moods these last few days have been steady.  I keep thinking and trying and going with the days.  I am off now for a week, well six days now but still haha it is going to be  a nice staycation.  I have been planning for my trip to the beach and hopefully will go shopping this weekend for whatever else I need.  I worked hard this past year and I feel I deserve a nice vacation.  I just wanna enjoy the sunshine, do some swimming and most of all RELAX.  I never relax. I am always constantly thinking or doing something. I need to CHILL OUT it is so much easier said then done. Even with this week off I have tons to do around here that I haven't got to do because of work.  But I am forcing myself to let loose and just mediate in the beach waves and sun.  I can't wait less than two weeks.  
As far as my family goes nothing new has transpired.  My sister is still being reckless and my dad is doing well this week, two weeks sober and going to meetings, fixing the bathroom up and watching the kids.  My moms bday was a few days ago and we celebrated and she had a blast.  I feel she needs to go to ALANON too but I dont push the issue I just mentioned it to her. I did to my sister too but they both work tonight so I am going alone unless my friend comes with me.  She can benefit from their wisdom too shes got a lot going on.  
I am going to continue working on this paper for work, I am doing the monthly CEUS paper for September and October, then off to my meeting and to start a weekend of cleaning and yard work. The perks of being an adult I suppose..
