My father, along with his pharmacy, has a home health care business. He has been dropping hints that he may want me to come work for him. I would be delivering hospital beds and oxygen units. Of course, I grew completely excited. This would be the perfect job for me. Dad would only pay me enough where it wouldn't disrupt my disability.
Dad was in a good mood last night. He kept holding my hand and telling me how proud he's been of me lately. Slowly but surely we're rebuilding that relationship and trust I almost destroyed being a drunk. It is hard to believe I've gone 90 days without a drink. That is truly a miracle.
Dad made a remark about how content Maggie seems to be.
"The Professor is on spring break," I told him about Maggie.
We both burst out laughing.
"The Professor is such a good name for Maggie," he replied.

Andrew....it just keeps getting better and better from here, HONEST! I am very proud of you. 90 days! That is absolutely magnificent. Keep it up! Stay happy!
HA! That does sound like a good name for Maggie, and I've never met her. Any relation to the Frumpy Professor? :)
I'm glad to read things are better with your dad.
Always peaceful after storms, huh?
Happy Monday old pal,
Always,
Elizabeth
That is great news!!! On both counts! I hope that you are able to do that, I think it will work wonders for both of you!
Great job on the 90 days!! I think that would be a good job for you. Fingers crossed :-)
Woo-hoo 90 days! Can you believe it? I told you your dad wants you to succeed and I'm glad that in this post you are taking responsibility for your part in the relationship problems. That is huge when we can see how we contribute sometimes to things that are wrong in our lives. All of us, not just you. You have come a long way in just the last several weeks Andrew. I am so happy that your life it becoming more and more content.
good for you! 90 days is a time to celebrate. i hope that sometime today you can sit back have a good smoke and a can op pop and reflect what how well you are doing with your sobriety.
Mucho Congtrats on the big Niner-Zed!
Wouldn't that be just awesome if your Dad entrusted you with that job? Sure would beat flipping burgers at 3AM...
9o days is great! Congrats :)
Good luck getting that job from your dad. It sounds like the perfect thing for you.
90 days is fantastic! Congratulations. I think that job with your dad might just be the perfect way to get yourself back into the job market. :) Keep plugging along.
Sir:
I am glad to hear that your father may allow you to work for the home health care business. When might this start?
Will the money earned for the work be based upon an hourly wage or will it be that he gives you a little bit of money every once in a while?

this post made me tear up - such a great thing to read and to know that you and your father are healing so many things in your lives.
Congratulations to you for everything you have achieved and for what you are going to continue achieving in your future.
Haven't seen much of you on my blog recently Andrew... If you're ever in need of something to read, come on over, you're always welcome :P
90 days, friend.
Felicidades! 90 dias!!!
I come here everyday, I see your counter and I'm happy for you. I call that an Internet miracle, to be happy for people you have never seen.
Ninety days...WOW! I am so very proud of you, Andrew!
Andrew, congratulations and bravo! That is fantastic ... 90 days of sobriety. Very impressive. I, too, am proud of you.
It really sounds like you and your dad are connecting and growing. I really hope he lets you in on the business. What a great opportunity.
Many hugs my friend!
Good luck - I hope you get the new job with your father - what a great opportunity.
Glad things are going well for you.
It's all good!
Hi Andrew

Just wanna say I'm still around, found the most wonderful pics on your blog today!! And congrats with your niece!! Lovely baby! and sister...! Will come by again to read more...hope you're doing well! Nikita
90 DAYS SOBER!!! WOW!!!! That is wonderful. You are doing so well, Andrew! The possibility of working for your Dad sounds like a good deal for both of you. He needs an employee and you need a job. "The Professor" cracked me up! LOL!

You made that miracle happen for yourself, and it IS wonderful. The job with your dad sounds like a great way to start work again!
91 days now. You sound so content. I'm so pleased to hear about you and your dad.
Happy Tuesday!
I'm so proud of you!! It's nice to hear you and your father are getting along and it sounds as if it would be the perfect solution for both of you!
Regarding your Twitter comments....
Paranoia Andrew? Surely you must know that your readers have nothing but caring, support and well-wishes for you.
Yes, once in a great while you might encounter someone who leaves a negative comment...but that is THEIR problem and hang-up in life. You are better than that and are trying so very hard to improve yourself and your life. And it is very evident in your posts.
Maybe you might consider changing the BLOGGER settings...allowing only Blogger account persons to comment. Or you can use the Comment Moderation setting where the comments that are made go to a special area and are not shown on your post until you view them and decide which ones you want to delete and which ones you want to be posted in your comment section.
We miss you Andrew....
90 days! Woohoo!
Peace
