Sober Year 1 (Day 507)
Keto Month 2 (Day 70) (120/365 Days 2026 Keto)

So eating at three restaurants in four days might not be great for weight loss.

Kind of giggled at having “Sausage Egg and Cheese” for breakfast as that's a meal from McDonald's. Just their breakfast comes on a biscuit and I skipped the biscuit.

I wasn't eager to go back to work as today was the first day back from vacation. I left a few minutes early to return some of the snack food that I bought for last weeks road trip as I didn't open the trail mix or the 2 bags of Pork Rinds. Of course I could have snacked on those over the next several days. But I really didn't want the nuts that was the base of the trail mix. And I'm not a big fan of snacking on pork rinds as after a while that makes my mouth feel like I've been munching on Styrofoam.

I was able to bake the pork loin for lunch. Almost lost track of time before work, but was able to make it on time.

Today was kind of strange as time both felt like it was blazing by and crawling almost still. It was a strange kind of hey cool a whole hour has gone by, and the next 15 minutes will feel like two hours. I had cashews when I first started the day, and then a little bit later I saw a can of Vienna Sausages sitting on a shelf and I couldn't resist the temptation. 

Over the course of the day I felt myself getting angry and frustrated working with people as they just seemed so very stupid. But that's kind of a thing with me on the first day back from vacation I have a very low tolerance for stupid people. But I'm sure I kept it under control, I say that I'm pretty sure as it's kind of hard to tell from the “inside”

There was a new cashier lady who was a bit slow and I kept reminding myself that she was new and didn't know the system very well yet.

There were some other people that almost set me off, but I rolled them off.

My left foot and ankle was NOT very happy that I was back to work. Worked a 5:3 split today and I was REALLY ready to sit down for lunch.

After lunch I had a frustration as the guy who was running the online pickup orders said that he didn't have his lunch break yet and kind of threw the department at me saying that there were only two orders that needed to go out. One of the orders was for the County Youth Services and the other was just a lady who hadn't shown up yet. I know how to take the orders out to people, but the frustration was that I was supposed to be the Front End Supervisor, the manager had just left telling me that I'm the Person In Charge (AKA PIC) and now I'm running the Online Pickup department. The guy running Self Checkout asked if I could watch the Self Checkout so he could go smoke. Yeah, no. I'm already doing three jobs, I'm not going to do four. Thankfully one of the carryouts knew how to run self checkout. And while I was trying to explain why I couldn't do four jobs at the same time the indicator for the Online Pickup Orders went off so I had to take an order out. It was the County Youth Services order that checked in.  And just by coincidence the other order came in and indicated that they were there to pick up as well. I was assuming that the person who was picking up the order for the County Youth Services had placed an order for themselves as there was an SUV in the other parking spot (there is a camera they show up on) but they went inside to do shopping. So as I was preparing the order to go out to the Youth Services the guy who was supposed to be working the department came in to see how things were going. I told him that I was "de-staging" two orders explaining my assumption to him. I was trying to keep the orders separate but the guy coming in, who insisted that he couldn't help too much becasue he was still on lunch, just threw everything onto one cart. Well when I went out to the parking spots the SUV was the second order. so the guy on his lunch break had to figure out which order was which. 

When I got home I was pretty wiped out. Mom had prepared herself a salad. She said that there was the stuff to make a salad for myself in the fridge. But I wasn't in the mood for a dinner that I had to assemble so I grilled some burgers for myself. There was a little twinge of guilt in the back of my mind saying, "She clearly offered you a salad, and YOU turned her down to have burgers." I kind of fought the feeling of guilt trying to tell myself that she said that the salad was available she didn't say that was what I was supposed to be having for dinner. But there was still that thought of "You turned down the food she offered you to do your own thing" I did put the dishes in the dishwasher, as that was her idea, but didn't run the dishwasher as it wasn't very full. 

I feel like I'm forgetting something, but it's late and this post is going long.
