Sitting in the business center of my apartment complex. They have internet access here, so I'm able to work online if I want. I met with Rick earlier and it went okay. Was interesting to see that he talked about not wanting to overwhelm himself with recovery 'work'. Said he was going to quite a few meetings a week and was beginning to wonder if he wasn't spending enough time just experiencing 'life'. I told him I understood and felt much the same way. My recovery program is about me finding Outer Circle activities and a daily life that is healthy.
In that vein, I did make a list of activities I'd like to explore more, seeing how I could incorporate them into my life. They are (in no particular order): Bike rides, hiking, photography, painting, guitar playing, golf, bowling, reading, exercise, watching sports, travelling, 'Discover Portland, Oregon, Pacific Northwest'. Now I wish to break these activities down a little and see if I can put them into managable pieces, so I can start to put them into my life.
Also, I just did a little research on being a Pharmacy Technician. Here in Portland, Kaiser Permanente pays them $20 a hour. I think I could possibly get interested in a job like that. Still have to research what education or certification I need. There is some for sure. Just not sure how long the process is.
Also, I helped my wife today rearrange some furniture in the house, now that the house does not contain all of my things. I really didn't want to be there and help her with this. Why couldn't she find someone else to help her? I know I wasn't emotionally in a great place while I helped her move the furniture and tried to figure out how to get the DVD to work. I was frustrated and angry. I know it showed. I don't want to say that I don't care but knowing that I've got a month of no contact with my wife, I didn't care all that much then.
