Sober Month 10 (Day 327)

I feel like I slept a lot better last night than I have previous nights. Sleep tracker still says that I didn't fall asleep until close to 3am even though I went to bed around midnight. I do remember waking up in the night to run to the restroom so that might have reset the sleep counter so when I got up to use the restroom and went back to bed it thought the second half was the sleep for the night.

The scale was nice. I mean it is frustrating to have the exact same number as it was yesterday. But that still is the lowest weight of this year and last.

I went to bed last night before the AI finished the download file for the Financial Projection. This morning it kept having a hard time coming up with that file. It also offered to make that code in four chunks to load into Google Colab. But when I put the codes into Colab it had an error. I'll have to wait until this afternoon to do any more with it because I ran into the limit of free inputs. When it came back up the Absolute Idiot kept saying, “don't input anything, just run the bug fix that I gave you” I couldn't figure out what the hell that meant so I told it to regenerate the entire code again. At least this time it suggested refining the code as the code was getting over 800 lines long. It's taking a long time to regenerate the code again. And then when it did finish compiling the code it didn't include any spending in the future balances. 

On the spending comparison spreadsheet it is fun that on the Food and Dining category I saved over a thousand dollars this year. It's actually gotten to the point where I've saved money on soda. So the only food and dining subcategory that I've spent more this year than last year is on Groceries. And true a good chunk of the money I saved on lunch, beer, and fast food etc was spent on groceries as I had started planning meals instead of buying lunch every day or going out to eat. So the grocery bill includes the food I used for a lot of soda and lunches. But I'll still call that a victory.

The deadline for the registration for the health insurance I get through the store I work at is later this week. I kept getting emails and robocalls reminding me that if I didn't renew my insurance options I will lose the insurance for next year. I kept telling myself that I would do it today (Monday) as I am off today. I'll admit that I was dragging my heels on doing it because I have very little understanding on how a lot of insurance works. The thing is that when people explain things to me I'll understand it while they're talking, but ask me anything five minute later I'll be just as lost as before the conversation. I often joke, “just sign me up for the 'government take care of me that the Republicans are always complain about'” but the government just spent the last couple of months throwing a temper tantrum about doing their job. So I am kind of glad that I don't have to rely on people who don't face any consequences for not doing their jobs. So I do have private insurance. I just pray for health in the upcoming year so I don't have to worry about having to use it. It is kind of silly to pay for something to pray that you don't have to use, but that is the scam of insurance. 

This might be TMI, but I had to get up to Pee a LOT today. Not sure what's going on there. Perhaps the fat is breaking down into water,
