 Looks like another heavy snowfall today. Hard to say how much until it's actually on the ground but they forecast 20-30 cm. Luckily, we don't have anywhere to go that we can't back out of. We have storm chips and storm snacks and we have been watching the Game of Thrones series so we could binge watch today. As for a meeting, that's why they invented Zoom.

 It's a Tuesday. I noticed yesterday that the days of the month all fall on the same days of the week that they did in 1998. So, our anniversary of our first date (Nancy and I), which is on Monday March 23 is actually on Monday March 23 and that will be 28 years. But, that's next month. 

Today should be a typical day. I meet with a sponcee at eleven and there's a meeting I go to this evening. Other than that, it's just ordinary run of the mill tuesday stuff.

Annual eye exam this morning. Funny how dates just creep up on me.The appointment is easy. they take some pictures of my cornea and iris. Only painful part of that is the money I have pay for it. Then they ask me to read stuff that is way too small for any person to see. Then they put drops in my eyes and send me on my way. that's how it usually goes. we'll see what today brings.

 It's Sunday. As always, I start my Sunday with prayer and meditation. Well, I start every day with prayer and meditation and then we go to church because it's Sunday.

We have a workshop this afternoon at the club. those are always fun.

And of course there's the meeting at 8.

 Today is a celebration of life for my friend Stan. we often called him Frenchy. He wasn't from France. he was from Maine. He was a good guy. I had been his caseworker when he lived in a recovery house. I became his sponsor after he moved out. I remember him sharing once that he asked me to be his sponsor because he didn't like me and figured he didn't want us to be friends anyway. But, we eventually became friends and remained friends for twenty years.

He developed cancer and although he fought hard, it eventually got him. I'm going to say goodbye to him today. Another old friend of mine is driving me there. I think it's good to maintain contact with the important people in your life because you never know when the next storm will come.
