Whew

I am glad this week is over. I am pretty proud how everything has went down. Yesterday people weren't getting much down because of the shootings and Christmas stuff, but I stayed on task. There is only so much that I can control and one thing I have learned is I can't get wrapped up to the BS that goes around me. I can strive to be empathetic and sympathetic to the people around me, but lots of times what really makes me an adult is the fact that I stay on task even while everyone is off the chain. I did some dancing yesterday with friends which is fun. It really tests how much I really care how I look. There is a simple need for me to get out burn calories and talk. It is nice to do this and act like an idiot. It is a surprise when people find out that we are sober, but it isn't really that amazing since as a group my friends and I try to care less what people think and focus on having a good time. One thing that is awesome is that if you are willing to dance you will get instant dates. Most males don't like to dance because they care how they look and I have danced in a mirror and I look silly. That isn't the point though, I am out there to burn calories and talk and that is what I got done. My legs are sore from doing the cabbage patch and the tootsie roll. I don't really know what I am up to today. I got to cash a check, I am also glad that I got 3 loads of laundry done last week. I can recover this weekend. I am catching the Manchester City (not to be confused with Manchester United) game. It is a nice soccer treat for me this morning. So right now my head is pretty proud that I plowed through this last week and that I was able to go out yesterday and be silly and have some fun.
