ellienihonI am grateful:
1) that I got to experience being around a group of people I didn't know and feeling comfortable and enjoying myself.
2) that I can always trust certain friends to take things to the next level :D
3) to feel acknowledged and accepted by L's friends.
4) that L cares enough to ask important questions and to listen to the answers.
5) that I have made noticeable progress in the past 3 months.
6) that I had a really good therapy session today.
7) for all the opportunities I am getting to learn and grow, and the supportive environment to grow in.
8) for pats on the back.
9) for friends who show up when they say they will, and who let me know when they won't. Also, for friends who take care of themselves.
10) for my car, but also grateful that I have the resources to replace it.
I failed my smog check today. My car (Ramona) is GP-- a gross polluter. The bad news is this means I can't renew my registration. The good news is that apparently the DMV *really* doesn't want these cars on the road, so I have an opportunity to dismantle her and get $1000 back. I need to follow up and see if this is true, but if it is, it's not much less than what I paid for Ramona 18 months ago, and I've put over 30,000 miles on her in that time. So, I need to follow up on this, and start looking at my options for purchasing a new car. I don't know if I can afford a new car, but I should be able to get something better than my current one. Ramona has been good to me, but it seems like that time has come.
