What a day!

I am so exhausted that I can barely keep my eyes open. At least, that's how it feels. I wonder if I will make it from the living room to my bedroom. Have you ever had one of those times when you're driving down the freeway and you feel yourself in the beginning stages of nodding off? While driving? That was me tonight. I just felt like my neck couldn't possibly support my head.

From the word go, my day was pretty busy. There were times today, as I was sitting at my desk, that I just felt like I couldn't pick up one more piece of paper, answer one more phone call, type one more e-mail or see one more person. I thank God above that Spring Break came when it did. Tensions are very high at work with the budget situation, possible salary reductions, work furloughs and people minimizing each other's work. The morale is really low. Meanwhile, we all still have jobs to do.

After work, I rushed home, talked to a program friend and headed down to a meeting. I had to thank everyone in the room for being there because I had no business being any other place. In the rooms of recovery is what I need. I'm planning on going to as many meetings as I can while I am on vacation. I need the sanity I get in those rooms. For those of you working 12 step programs, you know exactly what I'm talking about. For those that don't, I hope you some day get to experience that. It's a wonderful, beautiful thing.
