Checking in on day 825. Life bumbles along. The days become cooler and it almost feels like autumn. It’s hard to believe that it was 90F/32C degrees recently. Have a beautiful day, friends.
Congratulations on the anniversary of your thesis defense @anon74766472. That is a great accomplishment worth celebrating!

WOOT WOOT!!! Glad the computer finally said yes!! Fuck yeah!! Hopefully the next steps are much easier than arm wrestling the bureaucratic computer!!!
Aaand 8 months!!! Double fuck yeah!!! Keep going Amy, you’re doing amazing!!!
Checking in day 375! Been feeling extra tired lately, and have back to back 12 hour work days today and tomorrow. Hoping they’re pretty calm overall.
Had two job interviews recently, both went well. Have a good offer from one, and waiting to hear back from the other. My main goal is a work schedule with normal hours, and the offer I have comes with a decent pay bump. So either way I think this is a win-win. With that said, negotiating and the waiting game for the second job is a bit stressful. Good stress I think, since the outcome will be positive, but I think it’s a big part of why I’ve been so tired.
Just ranting a but Hope everyone has a terrific sober Thursday
I get lost in “should” all the time, I should have my life together by now, I should do this and that, and that’s when I get overwhelmed and it’s like a big snowball and I feel like I’m drowning in “should’s”
Try and not put too much pressure on yourself, that extra stress will not be helping, eat, rest, there’s time for everything else, take care Megan

Yesterday was a struggle from the marijuana but I made it without and I’m very proud of that
No cravings for alcohol
Yesterday was a little rough when it came to my vape. For a slight second I thought I had my vape in my pocket and went to get it and that feeling sucked. As a matter of fact it was rough. I got all upset for a few that I didn’t do it anymore. I’m happy I don’t but it crazy how that happened
