 It's a Thursday. My day looks full at first glance, but we'll see how it goes. I think I'm meeting with someone at 930. I have the men's lunch at the church at noon, luckily I have cookies made for that.

There's an archives committee meeting at 6 plus I go to a meeting at 730. So, yeah, the day looks full.

 More snow today, but it's only a couple centimeters which means I won't have to shovel and it shouldn't interfere with any plans I have. We are going to an alanon group anniversary tonight. The three G's.

 The countdown is on. 10 days until the Midwinter Roundup. I have been going to this event since 1998, but this is the first year that I am Chair of the event. Last year I was co-chair, but the co-chair's responsibility really is to be there in case the chair cannot be there. This year it's a bit different. I'm hoping things go well. They seem to be but I keep thinking I overlooked something. Oh well. I learned in al-anon that worry is like a rocking chair; it gives you something to do for a bit, but it doesn't get you anywhere.

It's Monday and it's also a holiday. Heritage Day or Family Day or whatever they're calling it this time. It always makes me chuckle. Having a day off we think yeah we should go to Giant Tiger or wherever  but you can't go because it's a holiday and all the stores are closed. So I just stay home and play video games, or do laundry or any of a dozen other things that I can do every day.

I might go help a friend who is having computer trouble. I like to do nice things for people and she deserves to be treated nice considering everything she's been through lately. Death of a loved one, etc.

 I can never figure out how other people can blog page after page so early in the morning. I think about the day that is coming and the things I have to do. I avoid discussions of politics, war, world hunger, rising crime. Not thinking about those things doesn't mean they aren't happening. I pray for the families of the folk killed in the shooting out west. How a person can think that they have the right to decide who should live or die, it's beyond me.

My day is pretty ordinary compared to other person's days. I started with two daily readings, one from AA and one from Al-Anon. Then, I picked the word from my god box. Expectations was the word today. I know that it is not wise to place too high expectations on the people around me or on how the day will go. I go to church this morning. Service takes about an hour, then there's a coffee hour after the service. I baked some cookies for that.

The district 2 GSR meeting is today and since I am the District Committee Member, I'll be chairing that meeting. I'm hoping to elect a treasurer today which will take some of the pressure off me. We'll have to see how that goes.

I usually meet with a sponcee this evening and then I host an online meeting at 8.

So, there's a lot to do today.
