Sober Year 1 (Day 480)
Keto Month 1 (Day 44) (88/365 Days 2026 Keto) (Huh, lots of fours in today's numbers)

Impressively the chicken that was in the fridge was still frozen so I just grabbed some hot dogs that were in the fridge. When writing that out I always triple check that I'm calling them the right thing as Member's Mark is a Sam's Club brand (not sponsored) and Maker's Mark is a brand of whiskey (not sponsored). Not great for a sobriety blog if I'm making posts saying that I'm having whiskey hot dogs for lunch. I'm off tomorrow so I'll go ahead and bake one batch of chicken tomorrow for lunch. I'll be off all day so I'll have the time to bake it.

The other day I noticed a burning sensation under my right arm, and this morning it was kind of burning under my left arm. I showed Mom and she's pretty sure it's a fungal thing, she has some anti-fungal cream that I rubbed on my armpits where the burning sensation was. That seemed to have cut the burning. I did pick up some antiperspirant on the way home from work and I'm going to be doing laundry tomorrow. I've never had an issue with that before.

Going into work I thought that I was scheduled to work 10:30am to 7:30 pm. When I leave for work I'm still going in a little early just because I'm not 100% certain on the transit time between Mom's house and work (seems about 20 minutes, but there is a couple of sets of train tracks) but when I tried to clock in the time clock read, “Error, early clock in” so I rechecked my schedule. (eventually, as the schedule app was running slow) But I wasn't scheduled to work until 11:30. And since it was a 20+ minute commute there really wasn't much that I could do other than just sit there and wait the hour to finally clock in.

Work was rather unremarkable. I was scheduled to work as a carryout for most of the day. I did cover the Supervisor's lunch. But for most of the day I was pretty much waiting to go home. It was kind of strange to be scheduled to carryout all day and actually be a carryout all day. Usually when I'm scheduled for that all day I'll end up being all over the place. But everybody actually showed up for work and everybody was actually doing their jobs. I was getting really quite tired towards the end of the evening as I had spent the entire day running like crazy doing the carryout work.

I was kind of surprised when I got home and the guy was still working on the floor. I'm not sure when he started but I wasn't expecting him to be there close to 8 at night. The poor puppies were really rather upset being locked up outside. He did get most of the living room and hallway done. He said that he'll be back Wednesday to finish. So I think the plan is that we'll be spending Tuesday moving things out of the dining room so he'll be able to work on the floor on Wednesday.

Mom had me grill some pork steaks. It was a bit awkward to eat standing there while the floor guy was there.
