Sober Month 6
(Day 181?)
I really need to
get back to the diet. I've been sober since December, so yay Six
Months sober. Not that I haven't been...Thirsty, from time to time.
But I just have a hard time sticking to the diet.
April really was
the best weight loss progress month, but then May stayed really flat,
and then June really tracked up really quickly. I haven't been at 340
since March and that average hadn't been since February. And today
was the first time since February that I was over the average for the
year.
Another thing
with getting back to the diet is Mind/Body/Spirit. Yeah, my feet,
ankles, and knees are yelling at me by the end of the day. But I'm
just getting off of work and just collapsing at my computer at the
end of the day. Yeah, some nights I'll play some Oblivion and that'll
be the excuse that I use to not make the blog post. But I'm really
just blahed out from the day. And more often than not they'd just be
me whining about the day.
I did kind of
lose count of the days, so I'm pretty sure that I'm at 181 days
sober. Kind of proud about that. I did just stop drinking back in
December and just didn't buy more. I did buy some NA Beer from time
to time. And I'll have to be careful because if I start buying that
like I did with the regular beer, it would be the exact same thing.
I'm not sure if
I'll be able to make posts over the next week as my Mom is going to
Yellowstone next week and I will be house sitting for her while being
jealous. I do have the Blogger app on my phone, but I'm not sure how
well I'll be able to make posts from my phone. But at least I'll be
able to more easily stick to the diet when I'm not having to worry
about making dinner with Roommate around. (We'll both be glad when
he's back to work.)
The shoulder demon is telling me that I could just have some alcohol while I'm staying at Mom's house. It's not like anybody would know. I would just have to finish it before she and Step-Dad got back from Yellowstone. And make sure that I threw away any bottles or cans. But Mom didn't raise a very good liar. And I know that I would do something to give it away. Through forgetting to throw away something or maybe leaving the smell behind or any other many factors. It would just be better to stay clean, if not just to try to avoid lying. I just feel like it would be MASSIVELY disrespectful to go on a binger while staying at her house after being sober for so long
I really wish
that they'd let this damned Flood Warning expire already. Every
couple of hours my phone goes nuts, “FLOOD WARNING, FLOOD WARNING,
WARNING FLOOD WARNING” Thankfully it doesn't say that out loud, but
the notification vibrates my phone like crazy and it says that I have
a weather notification, and yep the Flood Warning is still in effect
from three days ago. FLOOD WARNING, FLOOD WARNING FLOOD WARNING. I'll
look to see if we're expecting any rain. And nope, there's no rain in
the forecast until Thursday, but I'm still getting FLOOD WARNING,
FLOOD WARNING!!!!
I had a bit of a
laugh over vacation time when I got to work. Every year I have 5
weeks and 2 days of Paid Time Off. Earlier in the year I had
requested a week off and I wasn't able to take that week because
someone else had requested that week, so I had to take the next week
off. Last week was Grandma's 80th birthday party and I had requested
a vacation day, but they had messed up the schedule and scheduled me
to work 40 hours and had the 8 hours of vacation, but didn't allow
for the overtime so I was only paid for the 40 hours that I worked
and I will have to take that vacation day some other time this year.
And now later in July I had requested a week, but I am not able to
take that week because two other people had also requested that week
off. I'm flexible with the time off, I only requested most of the weeks off that I did because the store has a "use it or lose it" policy when it comes to Paid Time Off. The only week that I'll argue over is the week in May for my Birthday. But whatever on the other vacations. It's just kind of funny that everybody had to fill out all of their vacation requests at the beginning of the year, but it's just when the schedule is being worked on when they realize that more than one person has vacation conflicts. They said I can request another week and I'll get around to doing that. It is unfortunate that it looks like I'm going to be working on the Forth of July and my Aunt is throwing a party and it's the first time in years (heck, it was pre-COVID) since I would have hung out with that half of the family, but nope never mind.
This post is quite a long one, but I had a heck of a time trying to make notes during the first half of the day. Every time I got the piece of note paper out of my pocket to write something I would use the check writing platform of a close register and a customer would come up and ask if I'm open. It would take several times of me telling them what register was open for them to get the hint that the register that I happened to be standing next to wasn't open the register that had a cashier standing there with the light on was the open register. And then when I finally convinced them that the other register was open, the lady at Self Checkout would call me over. As I closed the desk this evening I worked a 3:5 split.
At lunch I had some Keto Clam Chowder it tasted a bit sour. Not that it had gone completely bad, but it might have stayed in the fridge for a bit too long.
Second half of the day I wouldn't say was "quieter" as everybody that was under five foot tall was screaming their head off. People say that is because school is out for summer, but I'm sure that a lot of these kids aren't even old enough to be in school, they're just screaming and running around. I worked in the desk so that ran quite smoothly.
I was quite concerned with Roommate when I got home as he was shivering and shaking when I got home. He had texted me and asked for me to pick up some Cold/Flu medicine on my way home. He had chugged some Probiotic soda over the day and now he's feeling sick. He had bought some smoked sausages earlier this week and suggested that they'd go in with some mac and cheese so that's what I cooked for dinner.
Late post, but meh. I need to get back to posting these.
