April 25, 2025 ~ TGIF!

Yesterday was another good, productive day. I don’t want to get too excited because only time will tell if it sticks, but… I feel really well. And haven’t needed a nap in days. And am sleeping better at night.

I started thinking more about a podcast. It feels like something I’d like to try. I think a plan to have 1 weekly with guests… I think I’ll watch some podcasts soon and make a decision. I need to see what’s already being done.

Went on a job interview yesterday. It didn’t go so well but I did it! And I’m happy about that.

Got car washed… paid for month of storage unit, asked Kalob to help with moving mattresses, picked up meds from pharmacy (got perfume, benedryl, spoke to pharmacist about med), GOT AN OVERDUE HAIRCUT. Yay!

Went to an AA meeting, a good one. It felt good to share a little more of my story. It was the first time I shared a couple things out loud in a meeting, I think, loss of job and home last year.

Watched another episode of A Handmade’s Tale with Meg last night. Seems like something so simple, but when you’ve lived with someone for over 4 months and haven’t spent much time with her… it’s nice. I spent the greater part of the past month napping and isolating in my room… so glad to be getting out.

Speaking of getting out, I am going to lunch with a new friend made in group today. Firebirds. This evening I’ll go to a meeting and then maybe dancing. I haven’t been in a long time.

Meds. Coffee. Soda. Riley and Bear. AA Daily Reflection read. Sorted more of my clothes from my closet. Connected with G, L, Mom, and Amy, all via text this morning. Gasoline. Now, sitting in traffic on Chippenham Pkway. There was a bad accident. I’ve been sitting for 45 min in same spot. Some individual(s) having a really bad day. I hope everyone is ok.

I’m grateful for my family and my friends. For having hope again of getting well. Riley. And creativity.

This morning, my creativity came out, including creating video ads for my businesses and more! I took a photo of my old house key in my car, e.g., with the intent to share the photo in an ad with the public for my book. In my first book, I share taking care of your environment as important for recovery. Finally throwing away this useless key is a perfect example.

Traffic is starting to move.

Have an amazing day!
