Sober Year 1 (Day 404)
Keto Day 5 (22/365 Days 2026 Keto)

The nerd in me is chuckling at the number of days sober. Error 404 is what you get if a website is broken or if you type in a website address wrong.

Weight's been tracking up in the last couple of days. More than a bit annoyed by that. Chat GPT says that it's just water weight from the Spaghetti I ate Tuesday. But it's just that I was 4lbs (1.8 kg) away from one of the major goals and then, oops never mind weight goes back up again. The AI is saying that the waist staying the same is a good sign and what I should focus on while the weight goes up and down.

The first half of the day was quite quiet. Not a lot of people out after the “great blizzard of '26”. The roads are snow-packed, but drivable (strange that spellcheck doesn't recognize that word) Looks like the official number on the snowfall is about 5.5 inches (14 cm).

I worked 11 to 8 today being supervisor the entire day. Since I worked 5 hours the first half my feet were really ready for me to go to lunch. I'm not sure if the pain in the feet are because weight going back up or because of lingering issues with wearing the old shoes for so long.

It was frustrating being supervisor today as it was just slow enough that nobody was doing much, but just busy enough I couldn't tell people to do something else because as soon as I tried to tell people to work on something somebody would come up to the register.

The back of my hands are really painful. I've put some lotion on them along with Mom's “healing” lotion. Adding that to the reasons I hate winter.

Another reason to hate winter is dealing with the people who are convinced that they, “don't sweat in the winter” so they go four or five months without bathing.

I was thinking today of doing laundry on Tuesday. Since that tends to take all day I decided to go ahead and do the shopping and inventory tomorrow. Still a bit of a challenge to do that on a Monday, but since I did the money transfer for bills already last week I'll already have the money in my account. It is kind of funny I received the new checks back in November and when I ordered them I had some filler checks printed out. I had just ran out of filler checks a couple of weeks ago, but ever since I ran out of the filler checks I still haven't used any of the new checks because I keep having money in my account to just pay for the groceries. That's not complaining that I have money in my account.

I was going to have some strip steak for dinner, but strangely one of the steaks was frozen solid. It's strange to me that one steak was thawed out and fine and the other was frozen solid. If they were both frozen, or both thawed out it would have been fine. But I don't think there would have been a way to cook them both with one thawed out and the other one frozen up.
