Is that MDF you are using?

The counter top is 3/4" birch plywood, with 1x4 furring strip glued to the edges.
The speaker box is 1/2" MDF
Happy to see you doing well. 
I hope to see lots of pictures of all the work you’ve been doing. I’ve got a thing for renovating houses

I don’t want to brag and show-up your wood working skills but check out this masterpiece we made today.
Ok I fine, didn’t do any wood work but I did screw it all together. I can’t claim the fabulous paint job. That’s my 4 year old

All the screws are counter sunk, looks good! And the paint is wonderful, crafting with the kids can be a chore, but usually it’s pretty damn fun.
@Sober_Ninja just doing life at this point, all the stuff I wanted to do as a drunk is now getting time. Renovating is fun, I like fixing/reusing things over just flat out replacing but either way, when you can put a shine on something you’ve worked on with your hands, it’s an immensely good feeling

Gabe, I’m with you. I took 5 months off to get sober, but I was pretty busy detoxing and trying to live through the next minute. I’ve been off work for about 3 days (did some stuff on Monday and Tuesday that technically count as being at work) and I’m LOSING MY DAMN MIND!!! I’ll get it together though. Don’t have a choice, really. They said till the 29th, but we all know that this place is going to be shut down at least a month, probably longer. And as soon as I get a new routine down it will be back to work!

How will you go about getting a new routine for yourself?
I know it sounds silly, but I haven’t been able ti do that in the 7 weeks I’ve been off work. I REALLY need to develop a solid routine, but I (literally) can’t move from ‘thinking about it’ and ‘jotting down a few ideas about it’’ to “actually doing anything about it’
It’s obviously my fault and it’s making me very frustrated and a little defeated. I feel like I’m a sloth on a hamster wheel

I have no fucking clue. 
These things seem to work themselves out when I get out of their way, honestly. I just tend to go with what feels right and stop trying to force things. When I try to make things happen I only end up overthinking EVERYTHING and doing absolutely NOTHING!!! So, get the hell out of your way!
Terrible advice, do not follow.

I don’t force anything by hibernating in bed most of the time

Yet you are trying to force it by overthinking it. Just get the hell out of bed and see where your feet take you.

Bathroom, then kitchen, then back to bed 
Tomorrow when I wake up, I will focus on not thinking about my lists… and see what happens
