Realized today that I can't afford to see my therapist every week, so we've moved to every other week. That means no therapy this week. I'm doing okay to good. Work things are less stressful now. I'm starting to get used to using my CPAP every night. Sleep scores still aren't great, but improving.

I've potted over 30 plants since Saturday. (Yes, some are up for grabs.) I've run out of soil with one spider plant to split and two pots to fill. I'm not sure i have it in me to go out and get more tonight. I have a trad that I dropped while trying to put it up to repot, again...

Notes on The Great Houseplant Repotting of 2025:
After 4-5 hours of repotting yesterday, I'm still not done.
Next year I'm buying way more pots than I think I need. I've just about run out.
I've also run out of room for plants since all but maybe 5 are being split or going into bigger pots...

I'm taking a break, because so far I've spent 1.75 hours repotting plants. I'm almost done with the first rack. I'm going to run out of pots and I don't have money set aside to buy more, so that kind of sucks. I'm hoping I can juggle things, but I keep having to split plants.

The pots are out for delivery. This is me.

The handful of people I talk to on a daily basis are not responding, so I'll scream into the void.
Thoughts on 66 days of sobriety (again 🙄):
My ancestors endured too much for me to not be the best me I can be.
It's important for me to remember my "why?".
I can't just drink "a little" anymore.

The U.S. is revoking the President of Colombia's visa for saying Trump is complicit in the Gaza genocide and calling on American soldiers to resist Trump's orders to harm innocents.

The 10 new pots are arriving today for The Great Houseplant Repotting of 2025. I'm at Lowes to pick up potting soil. Or rather, I'm smoking in the parking lot before I go in. 😉

Euthanized a neon tetra tonight. It had developed growths on fins and face and couldn't eat, so it was time. RIP little finned friend.
None of the other fish are exhibiting similar symptoms, so I'm chalking it up to a genetic predisposition. That's what I get for buying fish at Petsmart, tbh.

PT was good in that I've been released to do stuff on a trial basis. If elbow starts acting up again, I have to start PT again.

I've decided to go to the gym after work for leg day but I have to go home to change and pack my gym bag. Aye. There's the rub. Because if I go home, I'll sit, and lose all motivation to go to the gym.

Today i start my 5am to 1:30pm shift at work. I got 5 hours sleep last night. Mondays are slow, so it'll be okay. I didn't get all my chores done this weekend due to: tattoo time, 2nd scary movie & smoke hang out with a new friend, work, and lack of motivation. Now I gotta get ready for work.

I did a thing. This was really hard. When I was drinking the most, I was up to a 5th/day. I feel like I have to add a caveat that I have been drinking recently (mostly a glass of wine or a couple beers) from time to time. It's not an every day thing.

The chicken has half an hour left to marinate, and I've tidied the patio set for dining, friends should be heading over soon, so I have to work on making counter space in my tiny kitchen. And I better get the chimney going soon.

I'm just back from picking up grilling supplies: chicken, hotdogs n buns, watermelon, bourbon baked beans, etc. Doing two batches of chicken, one cilantro lime, and the other I'm not sure about just yet. I have an hour to decide while the chicken brines.

Our morning walk was rained out, but I think Gilly forgives me since she got a pup cup when I picked up a dirty chai.

Worked, picked up stuff for sleep study tonight, got pet stuffs, and then was stuck in traffic a mile from my exit. I've been home for far too long without having eaten anything. I wish I'd picked up something on the way home.
