Excellent, excellent birthday! One of the best I ever had, and it's only because I am finally being kinder to myself and doing things for myself. Work went pretty well this week too finally, the month of June has been absolutely blessed in so many ways.

Only thing is my dad called me drunk last night - I could hear it in his voice and slurred words when he wished me a happy birthday. I was always proud to say that my dad and I share the same sobriety date because its the day i went to jail. I don't know what that did to him, but he had changed and put down the bottle after years of being an alcoholic. Now, I am thinking that wedding they went to in NYC last weekend, might have changed things. I am disappointed, but he is an adult, I am just worried now.

Good news is that even though I only got 5 hours sleep because I kept worrying about it, I woke up fresh and went grocery shopping even though I really didn't want to. It's been hard leaving the house in 100-degree heat.

Even better news is I am getting really organized, and making things happen. I am turning my blog into my brand, and transforming it into a platform where I can get more work. I might really do a complete career change, because I need to stop waiting around and feeling defeated that I have a record - there is so much I can do for people coming out of jail or in recovery. I don't think I could go back to a corporate job anyway, it just might be too much.

Feeling better about my ex, this new guy, and just relationships in general. Now is not the time for them - I turned 45 yesterday, that's right in the middle of mid-life - but instead of having a crisis, I am going to evolve into a transformation.
