Still day 3. Posting to find a distraction for a moment.
Got out of the house, went to my momās and then stopped by my old roommateās for a while which killed a couple of hours. Itās too hot to be outside, so I came back to my cave-like apartment to hide in the ac.
Drove past the shop where my ex works on my way across town. I mentioned in a rant a couple of weeks ago I had sent him an apology and hadnāt heard back; Iāve really been trying to put that all behind me, but now Iām curious if my number is blocked. Must not call to find out. It has to stop mattering.
Gonna try to catch up on West World and stay awake. Also gonna start the meme thread from the top, thatās always a good distraction.

@Tragicfarinelli Congrats for the triple digits!
@Mindymoo Love the color of that aquarium; itās hypnoticā¦
@Alicat22 Nothing worse than hot hangoversā¦ except still being drunk in the heat. I will either puke or pass out. A good friend of mine insisted on spending the entire summer drinking on the beach when I lived in Norfolk. 
@maxwell I have the same struggle with mediation and restlessness. I even got a book, "How to Meditate" by Pema Chodron. I canāt still long enough to read it!
@Lovelyoutlook I have this annoying nerd habit of looking for patterns in everything, not just repeating numbers.
@Lorelai I wish there was something I could say; Iāll keep you in my prayers. 
Well, today was as boring as a boiling hot day in Kansas can get. Spent most of the day trying to dig up my employment history to fill out this job application. Now I have to take it in tomorrow and interview. Iām not normally nervous at interviews, but Iāve worked for these people 6 times already and I canāt blame them if they just laugh at me.
OTOH, if I work this job for 6 weeks, I can make my hiking trip happen this year!
And I somehow managed to pick out the 3 worst movies at the library. 
Edit: forgot the best part of my day. Either the house has shifted, or the wood is expanding from the heat, but whatever it is, I cannot lock my door. This isnāt a violent crime neighborhood, but then again I wouldnāt have an Amazon package left on my porch.

Evening Check in
Day 155
Feeling a bit better mentally since this morning but physically my stomach is killing me. This transition back to eating carbs again has been a slow process 
and it hurts and is soo uncomfortable. But this too shall pass (I keep telling myself that lol). Had to get meds for my belly. Feels like someoneās hand is twisting and ripping my stomach apart. Kind of wish honestly I never did keto. But I just have to push thru it. Google said it would take a week or two for my belly to settle. Anyway, things are okay I guess overall. Have to get back into more of a routine for my recovery. I will have an early day tmrw too as I have to do a refresher course for my CPI certificate for work (Crisis Prevention). That will take all day. Just need some self care tonight. Hope everyone is having a good day/Night

Coffee. In a bit of a hurry to leave for work. Did get some sleep thanks to my fan. Still very warm but itās supposed to cool of later today. Iām sober and clean. Thatās about it for now. Have a good one all, or at least as good as you all can. Love from Amsterdam.

#day 1400
I like the look of it
Not much to share beside it was freaking hot yesterday in the Netherlands. I worked and I was happy because of the airco I have there.
Slept ok and here is a new day to start
Letās tackle it and do it sober!

Wishing everyone the best possible with the heat waveā¦ ā¦ and wishing everyone else everywhere best possible with everything going on in your own world, mentally, physically and sobriety wiseā¦
@BrianP these people who say these nasty things do not deserve much, I know it is upsetting. Yes, practice a polite way to quieten them and be sure to add: "Be kind or I am going to have to call Mindymoo!ā @Mindymoo
Anyone who doesnāt back off after that deserves the police.
It is all not worth losing your precious sobriety over. You do get challenged a lot and you have done an excellent job of holding your ground and staying sober! Your pics are lovely, love the collage, thanks for taking and posting
@Mno Glad so many people, including you, were able and wanting to get out, indulge, and enjoy a little bit of the heat wave! Hopefully an event that is even less frequent than the treasured ice skating days.
@SoberWalker Congratulations on the 1400!!

Same here bro. Keep saying tomorrow on cutting the shit food out. I did good today but late night TV and cookies and cereal. Donāt even smoke weed anymore but still carried that with me. Still sober though is first and foremost.
