A Day's work! Ghostly cupcakes, brown spiders and creepy fingers!Spent the day, after walking with Linda, doing all of the above. Amazing that it took me so long, but each thing had to be individually baked and then decorated. I started after 10AM and just now finished at 7:30pm. Don't know what i would have done if I'd had something else to do today! These are the treats for a friend's daughter's party tomorrow night.
My back hurts--around the shoulder blade. Salonpas helps but it is still very painful around the shoulder area. Has been painful all week and very slowly getting better. At least it's getting better and not worse!
Beautiful day today. Highs in the 70s and lows in the 40s. Finally closed some windows for sleeping last night--some have turned on the heat but not us! Love it!
Benjamin came to play today--school holiday. He asked for a ghost cupcake==I've saved him out several. Gave him a "spider" to eat for lunch. Interesting: in response to something he said to me, I told him I didn't want him to tell his parents I was mean to him. His response was: "I would NEVER say anything like that!" Dad took him for a play date at one of his friends this afternoon around 3 and later he called and to make sure I'd saved him a ghost! Earlier he'd said he didn't want to be here when I made the fingers because that was too scary for him!
Lloyd will be here Dec. 10-21! Then we fly to Washington on the 25th! Still don't know for sure about Millie and Co. and if they're still planning to come next month. Honestly--hope they don't but will certainly welcome them should they so choose. There's just a lot to do between now and Christmas and don't know how I'll get everything done. Still, where there's a will, there is a way and it will work out one way or another. I told Lloyd he might be called on to help me with Christmas cookies!
Bowling yesterday: 152, 189, 99(!)---as you can see I finally settled down and got back to my old self! It was fun while it lasted!
Someone really blindsided me today--I was trying to help her stay sober by talking to her and all of a sudden she came out with something pretty harsh and critical and shortly ended the conversation. Have to remind myself that she is mentally ill--has relapsed repeatedly. Not able to stay sober for any real length of time since she relapsed after 2 yrs. of sobriety. 50 yrs. old. Such a shame. Helps me but it into perspective.
Gotta go and work up the bill! What are bloody fingers, ghosts and spiders worth today?!
Peace!

Past my bed time, so sorry if this post is a bit off.
The fingers are scary! I told Megumi "hey look, Fingers!" and she was totaly grossed out! Priceless. But really they are kind of creepy. as far as a bill goes, their priceless!
Glad to see that Ben is turning around. seems like a complete 180!
Sorry to hear about your sponcee lashing out at you. Some folks do just seem to be bound to suffer. They do not understand that suffering is optional.
Love,
Jordan
Hi Jordan!
Glad you checked in and that you liked my goodies.
It wasn't my sponsee that lashed out at me--it was a gal in the program--or one who is trying to be in the program--just calling members to try to stay sober. I really believe she is mentally ill.
My sponsee seems to be doing very well--has an addiction problem but feels she can relate to me. In her early 30s with 3 kids--18, 16 and 3! I'm hearing her 4th step today after meetings. She's very sweet. She seems to think I can help her and hope I can by listening well.
