If anybody else wants to be added to the roll call, just let me know

This week I tried a new habit where I read at least one page of a book after my afternoon nap. It was a success, I did some reading on 5 days. It worked because I'm reading a non-fiction book that you can read just a few pages and get something out of it. I will try to do this regularly from now on.

Overall it was a decent week, aside from reading I also did some meditation and went running on 2 days.

Also, I found a cool website - Open Food Facts - that provides info about food products. It describes how processed the food item is, what is its nutritional quality, how bad is it for the environment and so on.

Finished a project for a job interview, I went over the top with it so I'm expecting to go to the next stage, this better be worth it

Cleaning my rain gutters before rainy season really kicks off, it's kind of a pain in the ass but getting a bunch of gunk out of there at once is oddly satisfying

sobriety/alcoholism

Maintained sober streak, think I've got 3+ months now? That's not really that long in the big picture but it's like a quarter of a year and idk the last time I was dry that long and mentally I feel like it's gonna stick this time

Still haven't handled my finances or renovated my bedroom like I've wanted to for awhile but I think I settled on a new amp head and a PC as my treaty-treats for using my booze money getting sober, there's a really affordable lunch box tube head that's perfect for my needs and budget and I only need mid hardware to run the games I want to check out

diet/exercise

Stepped on a scale for the first time in awhile and was like

Set a goal weight and have been better about eating healthier and portion control

My legs have been really achy and my knees hurt and the ankle I rolled is still bugging me but I've been more active overall

Want to update my boosters and get a flu shot and workout clothes that fit better then get back to a gym and lift eventually

I yearn for a good leg day but my health is kinda

I've been better at budgeting! I'm managing myself better and staying sober too. My schedule has become more consistent and I'm enjoying the stability

Continuing to study for job-related stuff. Going ahead of schedule.

Have successfully re-learned stuff regarding manifolds and tangent spaces.

Trying and failing to re-learn assembly.

Turns out getting back on the wagon when your heart isn't in it is harder than I thought. I bought a fifth of rum and drank it in 2 days. Life is just kind of miserable and this little bit of escapism helps in a way I need it to. I need to make a whole bunch of changes before not drinking becomes a serious option for the long term and I fear those changes are harder than I can manage. Seeing the absolute depravity of the world and being completely helpless to do anything productive about it sure as fuck doesn't help either. Shit is hard and I just wish I had a reasonable path towards a better future

I'm on a bit of a down swing (not in a defeatist way, just in a things haven't been going as planned way). My spirit remains bright and steeled but things haven't been too great for ya boy this week. I remain of good cheer and positive mindset most certainly. Also not in the foolish "don't look at the world around you" way, but in the cool "stoic and resolute that I will achieve my goals in the face of adversity, and that adversity makes me stronger if I learn from it" way.

• 10% dip in average number of steps
• sleep schedule basically reasonable, trouble actually getting out of bed though
• read a short book!
• organized my room a little
• did laundry
• cooked batch meals
• drank another cup of cheater coffee

Keeping on, keeping on. Workout routine has more or less stabilized aside from the days were work feels like its a bit more soul crushing than usual . Starting to prepare myself to work towards heavylifting. Diet has been so so, definitely could do more to eat healthier, but I've also been eating smaller portions and trying to fast from dinner up until lunch the next day.
