After being woken up lastnight by drunk AH and listening to his arrogance and hate words (I sat up but then just went to bed), I woke up this morning and told him goodbye when I left. I asked him if he remembered what happened lastnight. He said, "no, was I messing with you or were you messing with me??"!!! I said calmly, you are sick, I love you, but you need help. There is a great AA meeting down the street (he knows where the club is) at 6:30 every morning and it is a wonderful spiritual group. He looked at his watch. I left.
I have a busy night tonite - picking up a friend for a meeting with both AAs and Alanons, (talk about a good laugh - great meeting).
On my lunch hour I made reservations for a cheap motel in the mountains for me - tomorrownight and Saturday. I have to escape the insanity!!! I feel good about it. I just don't want to see him for a while, deal with all of this for a while. It's probably cold up there but I will bring a good book, and try to begin to do some artwork (which I have not done for years!!)
Thanks for all your love and wisdom here. It's going to be a great day and a great weekend!!! Wish we could all meet there and HANG out!
Sorry for the rage-n-run last night. That always scares me when I get woke up like that. It's like the house should be on fire or something, but no, the A is just showing her bad side again.
Enjoy the mountain retreat... I will be there with you in spirit!
Way to take care of you!

A few days in the mountains with a good book sounds WONDERFUL !! Good for YOU :) That will restore you. I am so proud of where you are and where you have come..
Have a wonderful "Piper weekend". You so deserve it. That's the way to be good to yourself. I love the thought of the mountains in the fall. Look out for the "Great Pumpkin" and the Red Baron! Relax and enjoy yourself. Here's to peaceful .
Live strong, Karilynn & Pipers Kitty

Yeah good for you. I work at a hotel and officially from next week I can get free nights so I am going to do this from when the following week. I cannot wait to get away! I may just be going down the street but I know this will help. I am so so so glad for you that you can take care of yourself in this way. I wish I could before now.
