into a new light

a day of good vibes, i'd have to call this.  i got done the things i needed to get done, and i'm pretty well served and happy about that.  i started with prayer and meds and insulin as usual but i didn't go to the gym.  once syd was on her way i had breakfast and then started working on moving my couches out to the curb.  i was offered the couches from my back neighbor's unit as he moved, and i accepted them gratefully.  they're not new and they have wear, but they're in better shape than my old ones and they match.  so i slowly moved things so i could get the old ones out and i moved them outside.  my brother helped me, with his truck, to get the sofa bed to the curb but the plain couch i carried.  then i got dressed, got a money order for my rent and took donuts to my meeting.  it was a pretty good meeting.  i ended up chairing, which was fine, and we found a chairperson for the rest of the month, which was better.  i came home, got the couches moved into my apartment, and waited for my cousin so we could go get some dinner.  we had mexican, and we talked and it was nice to spend time with her.  she's still grieving her mom's passing, and it's just nice to make sure she's functioning if nothing more.

TF came to pick up her soup this morning, forgot that.  and i got notice yesterday by email that training for the recovery coach position starts on monday, Feb. 8th, so i start that, and that's kind of exciting.  i am not lost in the nuances of the thing; it is still a made-up position that allows someone to feel important when all that is required is sponsors to do their jobs and this wouldn't even be an option.  but it's an opportunity, and i'm not going to look that horse in the mouth.  i'm just going to ride it out.  i have to go to the facility VF told me about to get some info about their funeral arrangements.  if they also don't have the option for a green burial i'm going to just start calling some of the local places and compare prices on cremation.  i just want to have it in place so Syd and Deja don't have to worry about me.

all in all, productive and a good start to the month.  tomorrow, bills, writing, and keeping up the R texts.  no other return texts from her, but at least i know she is getting them.  life is strange.  thank you, Jehovah.
