Sober Month 1
(Day 33)

Spent too long
last couple of days fiddling with the 3D Printers to make blog
posts. The good news is the hex screws that I thought were all
stripped out were actually fine, it was just me being too drunk to
work on them properly. (Another thing to add to the list of thousands
of reasons I'm glad I stopped drinking.) I installed the extruder
that I had been wanting to install for a while now. When I looked at
Amazon to see how long ago that it's been sitting in my basement
waiting for me to get around to install it. It was back in December
2021. That was THREE YEARS AGO. That was three years of, “I want to
get back to this thing that I want to be doing.” I kind of feel
like I just woke up and discovered that I'm missing the last three
years.
But one full month sober.
The bad news is
that the extruder doesn't seem to be...extruding the filament. I
think the extruder that I had in the basement is missing a gear that
pushes the plastic through the printer. (That's what I get for
leaving it un-packaged in the basement for three years.) For a moment
I thought it might be the Hot End. But when I manually push the
filament through it does come out of the Hot End. But I'm going to
order another Hot End for that printer because as it was trying to
print a screw dropped out of it, a strange kind of screw that doesn't
seem to be a Hex Screw or any other kind of screw as it just has a
small round hole instead of a Philips head or hex screw hole.
That was just the
smaller of the printers. The bigger printer has the Extruder and
the Hot End both completely disassembled. I used the gift card credit
to order another extruder and a couple pairs of pants as the pants I
have now are really starting to irritate me. The jeans are too tight
for me to even bend down and tie my shoes. And the “slacks” are
tight across the thighs so they're constantly rubbing around on my
lower legs. They will still work for whenever I need a pair of pants.
But it'll be nice to have other pants to wear. It'll be a couple of
weeks before I order the new Hot Ends because next week is when I'm
planing on paying bills. They're only about $20 apiece, but bills
come first and I don't want to transfer money from savings to pay
bills while I'm also spending money on hobbies. I have enough to pay
for it all, but it doesn't feel right.
For breakfast I
had a BBBE Breakfast. I've been wanting to have Steak and Eggs ever
since I spent the extra money on food the other day, but I've just
been sticking to the habit and then kicking myself as I'm eating
because I was wanting to have steak and eggs instead of bacon and
eggs. And this morning I did manage to cook the steak, but then had
the thought it'd be fun to have the “Triple B and E” Start to the
day as I haven't been very good on the diet over the last couple of
days. (Sober but not Keto) I got to say, eating all of that was a bit
of a challenge.
I was good for
lunch as I only bought a can of Diet Lemonade Tea on the way out of
the store. I really need to stop spending so much money on Energy
Drinks. They're $3 per can FFS. Strangely I was REALLY thirsty when I got home and drank it. I feel like I could have had another three of those large cans. And I had a chuckle when I reached into the fridge and pulled out a serving of AI Chili. Kind of an ironic lunch considering this weekend's "Arctic Polar Vortex"
Later in the evening I was really wanting something to snack on. I decided to have a Savage Slim Jim. I really shouldn't have had that. It is low in carbs, but it was $4 for a snack, less than a half an hour before I came home and cooked dinner.
Well, I call it "cooked dinner" I just threw a couple of pork steaks in the oven. I let the oven do all of the cooking.
