12 Stepping, Black Friday Adventures , a GPS for Grumpy, and Billy's Solar Return

This year, I have three days including Black Friday off which is a miracle. My comrades asked, "Are you going shopping?"

"Absolutely Not! I am NOT going anywhere near a retail store."
Nevertheless, I couldn't resist stopping at the Sam's just sing to "Nanny Nanny Boo Boo! to my fellow Associate who have to work."

Dang! Tom Tom GPS's on on sale for only Fifty-Some Dollars. I don't need a GPS but I know someone who does. My darling ex-hubby. He gets lost all the time and he won't stop to ask for directions.

Last year, we went to Virginia so that he could go to a Denture Making Clinic. We missed the off-ramp and ended up in Tennessee. I kept telling him that we were in Tennessee but he was convinced that we were heading back to West Virginia. Yeah Right! We were 70 miles into Tennessee when he finally figured out that he was driving into the wrong direction. Another 12 Hours and we would have been in Arkansas.

I was at Sam's Club with my shopping cart and called him on my cell phone. "You know those slippers I usually get you for X-Mas. You are getting a GPS instead." I described all the features of the GPS including the fact that you can punch in Hotel, Gas stations, Ad Infintum and it will tell you where all the closest ones are."

He talked about being in Kansas to visit his daughters and getting lost even going around the block. Indeed, he needs a GPS.

Even though he's my ex-husband and quite a few years older than me, I think of him as one of my . I included a X-mas Card with the message, To Grumpy, Now you can find your way back......... XXOOXXOO from X Number 3

Afterward, I went to a 12 Step Meeting and took a Medallion for 32 years of sobriety. There was a time when I didn't think I would make 32 Days. It's a lot easier making 32 Years than 32 Day.

It is also my younger 's Solar Return. He's 24 Years old and needs the 12 Steps himself. My Prayer is that God will give my a Desire for Recovery and get his little boy butt sober. Life on Life's Terms.
