Sober Month 10 (Day 306)

That was kind of weird I woke up this morning thinking about some Fanfictions that I had written quite some time ago. What was strange was that I hadn't really been active on the FanFiction site in over a decade. It was just a random thought that I woke up to. And then this afternoon I got an email that somebody had added one of my stories from almost 20 years ago to their favorites list. It was just kind of a fan version of the Digimon Anime. Just the original story had grade school age kids, and my story had High School age kids because I was just out of High School when I was writing it. It didn't really have a plan behind the story so it never got past the second chapter when the kids got transported into the Digital World. I tried to reread it from the link. And wow. That's not great writing. It's just strange I woke up thinking about something that I hadn't thought of in nearly 20 years then I get an email about somebody favoriting it.

But then came the depressing thought of “What's different between 2005 Mark and 2025 Mark.” Other than a significant amount of weight. Well, I do have to admit that I am surviving better now than I have been for a while now. But is that all I'm ever going to do? Just survive? I did sit around in a funk but then I decided that I could just sit here moping (good weather for that) or I could work on a script for a video. But then got distracted by Social Media and the Phone Games.

I had a serving of Jambalaya for lunch. But it did taste like it was starting to turn sour. Which is unfortunate as I had three servings left after the one I had for lunch today. Last week when I got the stuff to make the Jambalaya one of the ingredients was celery and that got me inspired to get the stuff to make Gumbo next week as it has celery in it as well. But that celery has gone seriously floppy already. I didn't think that it'd last forever. But I figured that it'd last for at least the week. I still want to have that Gumbo so I'll just buy more celery.

A little while ago Roommate got his dog a squeaky toy that was a little different as it wouldn't squeak as he bit into it, but as the toy was shaken. But the dog just can't figure out how to get it to squeak. So he'll be sitting on the landing of the stairs chewing the hell out of it run down the stairs; accidentally have it bounce down the stairs, and it'll start squeaking as it's bouncing down so he'll go nuts after it. But a few seconds later it's stopped squeaking because he's not shaking it. But he's still going nuts on it.

It was pretty good weather to grill some hamburger patties. Bit annoyed at the grill lid that's kind of holding on by one hinge so it was kind of hard to hold the lid, the spatula to flip the patties, and the phone as a flashlight.

Played a little Oblivion today clearing out a couple more dungeons and caves. It's kind of fun that it's the week of Halloween and I'm running into ancient mystical ruins full of Skeletons, Vampires, and Zombies.
