I got home from work at 12:30 am. It’s now 6 hours later, and I’m going back in to finish floor moves for the semi-annual sale. On the evening of the 23rd, I worked overnight at the store & left at 7 a.m. on Christmas Eve morning. I find retail leadership fulfilling but exhausting.

I’ve gone from 245 to 187, which is to say zepbound has done remarkable things for me. But I’ve hit a major (months-long) weight loss plateau and my hair has never been this thin. Trying to focus on the positive.

Sometimes I kind of enjoy having the “bipolar type” of schizoaffective disorder. My auditory hallucinations and depression are fairly easy to manage, and relatively harmless bouts of hypomania make me oddly energetic after the occasional sleepless 16 hour work night.

After working 16 hours (overnight) doing a floor move at work, I caught Christmas Eve dinner with one of my besties, Michael, and his family. It’s been a day full of jazz hands and sweet dessert spreads.

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

Pre-Christmas dinner party shenanigans. I didn’t know many people. Events like this still intimidate me sometimes. It turned out to be a wonderful night.

Good morning. As a society I think we should all agree that it’s okay to stay in bed cuddled up with blankets and a cat/dog when it’s 11F outside

You do not need to work to have value.
You do not need to produce for capitalism to have value.
We should not make ourselves the arbiters of another person’s worth, and we certainly shouldn’t base their worth on their job, bank balance or health status.
Everyone has value.

I was in a shitty mood this morning. When I got to work, I leaned into helping the customers and developing my associates. I try (not always perfectly) to be kind and caring with each person I interact with, to focus on their needs. Today I was in that zone. I left work feeling peace and joy.
Our very lives, as ex-problem drinkers, depend upon our constant thought of others and how we may help meet their needs.

Got this dancer pin from my friend Jeannie, who got me into dance and always pushes me to leave my comfort zone. I’ve tried jazz, tap, ballet, Irish step, hip hop, Italian, and burlesque since I met her. Now she’s trying to convince me to audition for a minor role in the Nutcracker next year 😂.

Thought about joining Noom because my weight loss has been stagnant for quite awhile. Then I realized that I’d have to stop eating halo top by the pint if I did that—especially the mix-ins. Current perspective: skinny couldn’t possibly feel as good as halo top tastes.
