My First Blog

So, I'm sitting here with my girlfriend laughing. I thought blogging looks interesting and so thought I'd give it a try.

This is the life of Donna right now.

I just got home Tuesday night from my 60 day visit in a real nice facility in Grant County (work release). It was good to see my Mom and my daughter. They both picked me up and we browsed through Wal Marche and lost track of time. Wednesday I was lazy and slept all day in a real bed! Thursday was rough. I feel overwhelmed because my life feels out of my control right now. I don't have a real home right now. I'm staying with my grandma right now. I'm on disabilty right now, Mom's got control of the bank account, no driver's license. So I felt like crying most of the day.

So, today, I thought I'd try a little therapeutic activity and hopped in my car, a beautiful 1986 blue Dodge Aries. I thought I'd just see if it would start. Then I thought maybe I should take it around the block. I noticed I needed gas...so, thought I should go get some. Then I thought, boy some retail therapy sounds good right about now.... so, I drove to Shopko. But first, I had to go to the bank. I only needed two jump starts on my outing. I felt a little rush as I fastidiously adhered to every road rule.

While I was drowning my sorrows in shopping I ran into my oldest Son. Happy coincedence. I tried to make him feel sorry for Mommy... but he left. Sigh. Back to drowning my sorrows...when my cellphone rang. Busted! It was my friend, Gail. And before I could recognize her voice I let it spill that I was tooling around town without my license. So, being the co-dependent she is.... she shows up to save me. So, I had to take my car home. Then we had a wonderful time drowning our sorrows in pizza and Blockbuster movies and getting me up and blogging.

I will be visiting another lovely facility in Whitman County in a few days. But will pass on posts for Gail to post for me while away. If I behave myself, I hope to be back in 33 days.

Thanks for visiting my little spot. L-Donna
