February 20, 2026

 Only a week until the midwinter roundup. It's true I am a bit anxious about the event. I have been going to them since 1998 but this is the first time I have been involved with organizing one and luckily I have a good committee helping me. But, it is a week away and I try to focus on the day in front of me.

I have a gentleman coming to see me today. We read the big book together. It's good for him and its good for me.

I might, if I have time, record the podcast.

 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.

February 16, 2026

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.
