Saturday a local Llama farm had an open house. It wasn't much and it was quite cold out (for October). I enjoyed it though. I got to pet the llamas and ask questions. They make a strange whiny kind of sound. Some had the most beautiful fur? coats? wool? Whatever it is called they were pretty.
10/18/18 - 16 days of Jury duty before I actually had to serve on a jury. Got to the court house at 7:35am and got out to my car last night and it was 7:35pm!!! 12 hour day for $40.00. This was my first time. It wasn't that bad but what a lot of time wasting. Lawyers repeat themselves so much.
I was employed as the Asst VP of Operations at a bank for nearly 29 years before the bank was sold and most of us lost our jobs. The people I worked with were like family. We are having our 10th annual reunion tonight. Love seeing some of those people. Especially those that were in my department.

Reading:
Finished Catherine Coulter's Paradox. Finished J.A. Jance's Kiss of the Bees,this one is #2 in the Walker series. Hope this ends the evil serial killer and they take on something else. Finished Tami Hoag's Guilty Sin. Did not see that ending coming. Now reading David Balducci's The Fallen.
Stitching:
I have finished the stitching on my 3 year old sunflower.
I didn't do it exactly like the pattern but that is just "how I roll". I don't know how to finish it off. I don't think I want it in a frame. Finishing would probably be so much easier if I had a clue about sewing or any talent in this area.

I posted some X stitch books on the Facebook site "Cross Stitch Barter" I wish someone wanted them. I did have a barter with someone for my HAED pattern. I got a couple of "fancy" flosses for it. A good trade.
Hoping to Heal:
OA For Today: Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.
-Aristotle- For today: Friendship, like the longest journey, starts with one step.
OA Food for Thought: Bad days - There are some days when we wake up in the morning knowing with a sixth sense that the day is going to be a hard one. These are the days when it is difficult to get out of bed, when we would prefer not to face what awaits us. There is no way around these days; we must get through them the best way we can. Our most useful tool for coping is: abstinence. Be determined not to escape into food.
OA Voices of Recovery: Once we become abstinent, the preoccupation with food diminishes and in many cases leaves us entirely.
Peace and Love - Dianne
