Sober Year 1 (Day 391)
Keto Day 7 (10/365 Days 2026 Keto)

Weight is up today, but it goes up and down. There is an interesting pattern of two down days, and then an up day. But I'm not sure if that's an actual pattern, or just happens to be so in the randomness so far.

I'm sitting here at the computer thinking that I should be doing something. But whenever I try to think of anything that I'm supposed to be doing my brain just flat lines. I'm sure that I'll be frustrated on Wednesday when I go to work that I didn't get that “one thing” done, but I just can't think of anything that I'm supposed to be doing.

I was talking with Chat GPT and it seems to want me to set up a scheduled transfer for a specific amount. I think I like my “Flowing Cup” savings method. I would keep $50 in my checking account, transfer into Bill Savings until I have enough to pay for the next month's bills, then into Project Savings, until I felt like I had enough in that account, than transfer into General Savings. Since General Savings has matched the minimum balance to avoid the fee I'll leave it as it is and just transfer into Bill and Project Savings. It didn't seem to like that method as this method is a more reactive savings plan and it doesn't make for an active savings plan. But the amount that it thought I could save just didn't work with the allowance transfer plan. I have a $50 transfer into the “Cash” account and whenever I buy anything I subtract that amount from the next allowance transfer and on Wednesday I'll just delete that week's transfer so I'm not actually transferring anything to cash, but it simulates the $50 weekly allowance.

Baked a Rack of Ribs. It was a pretty big rack so I'll eat that for lunch and for dinner. Roommate is moaning and groaning about he can't breathe all while it cooked. Listening to him whine and moan while I was asking AI how to save money to move out seemed poetic. I don't want to storm out on emotion. However him getting up and slamming his bedroom door screaming out expletives really makes that hard. I haven't told him my one year plan to save money to move out, partly because I'm not sure how he'll react.

I did snap at him this evening. I had reheated some ribs in the microwave for dinner and when he smelled the ribs he started to screech and complain and holler. He was hollering, “why am I even paying rent in this fu—ing sh—hole!” and “He did it once already today, now he has to do it twice!!” I lost my temper at that and threw my headphones and, rather forcefully, apologized for having dinner. I told him if he hates here it so much just leave! I think I scared him. He said that if his leg wasn't messed up he would be gone. He insisted that it had nothing to do with me eating. He tried to say that it was because of the oven being dirty makes it so it's hard for him to breathe and the oven hasn't been cleaned in years. Yeah? I'm sorry I work all day. I get two days off. Yeah, I keep telling myself that I'm going to try to clean up the place, but when I get the chance to sit down I just sit down. I was getting really close to neverminding the year count down and just calling Mom to say that I was done over here. But again, that's just running out on emotion. 

I'll get some Easy Off tomorrow when I do the grocery shopping. Since the soup I made last week made enough to serve a second week's worth of lunch that'll give me some time to clean out the oven. It sucks that I'm the only one cleaning anything, but it needs to be done.

I am proud that I've gotten to a full week of Keto. This is usually how long it goes before something happens, but we'll see if I can keep it up.
