Sober Month 11 (Day 344)

Sinuses were really grumpy this morning. But whatever was going on with my sinuses seems to have started cleareding up early this afternoon. Which was a fascinating feeling. It felt like my head just kind of opened up. I still don't smell very good, but at least my head doesn't feel like it's splitting open.

Had Thanksgiving round two at Mom's house this afternoon. But first I stopped by Grandma's house to swap out the burnt out bulbs on her Christmas lights. Last night she suggested that in the future she might invest in some light projectors so I wouldn't have to climb on top (strange that “ontop” isn't one word) of her house.

Hanging out with the family reminds me how blessed we are that we can just sit around and have a meal together.

My younger sister's eldest son is the State's Boys and Girls Club Youth of the Year. I'm not completely sure what that means, but he was talking about how it opens him up for scholarships and other prizes.

My brother was talking about how he was continuing to remodel his kitchen. He thought he was done, but when he was installing his dishwasher in the spot where he wanted to he found out that was where the main sewer line for his house was going so he had to change where it was going to be installed. So good news, he has all new cabinets and counter tops for his entire kitchen.

And I'm...just sitting here. Just kind of sitting here. I'm going to be able to pay my bills in a couple of weeks. And I'm a couple of weeks away from 1 year sober. But what am I doing? Other than just sitting here. I have thought about getting back to making videos, but I've been sounding like the living dead over the last couple of days. I'm thinking about postponing the return to videos until the beginning of the year. At least uploading them anyway. Maybe that will be several weeks to get ahead of the schedule that I want to make them in.

Whatever I had in my sinuses that I'm recovering from Roommate seems to have caught. I offered him some of the cold medicine that I bought yesterday, but he turned it down. He seems to have some phobia of medicine. He always turns down allergy or pain medicine whenever he has symptoms. But I can't force him to take it if he doesn't want to. I hope he gets better before Tuesday when he has his appointment. It would be awkward if he was too sick to go to the doctor.

A good thing is that the payment for the scale and the HVAC Filters had finally gone through. The Amazon site where I can track the packages still hasn't updated so I can't say for certain where they're coming from or when exactly they'll be here (it says Wednesday but who knows) but at least I don't have to keep doing math whenever I check my bank balances. 

When I got home I was still full from Mom's Thanksgiving Dinner. But I had to eat something. So I had the Macaroni Salad that I brought to Mom's place.
