Baxdog, diabetes out of the blue has got to be a bummer. Way worse than my lactose intolerance.

I stopped drinking Jan. 1, 1986 out of legitimate fear of being a horrible Mommy. When my little bird flew the coop last year I thought it might be safe to drink again.

I drank again for 4 months and the craving started to get out of hand. My behavior wasn't bad except for one wierd incident. My neighbor's cockerspaniel often escapes thru a hole in the fence. I have a fuzzy memory of chasing him thru the neighborhood one night and putting him back over the fence.

The next morning I saw where I patched up the hole in the fence with yarn. Lord, I had become the crazy drunken neighbor lady I used to fear as a child!

Anyway I went back on the wagon and got a job working with wonderful little people that is easing me thru the empty nest syndrome. It's not all roses & sunshine, but better than it could be.
