5.21.25

I survived another episode of “The Chronicles of the Mundane.” It was a good day because I’m sober.

At work, I nicknamed GPT Wanda after Fried Green Tomatoes. Now, when I use it, I say out loud, “To Wanda!” Celeste is too young to know what movie I’m talking about. After work, I went to Costco to get hamburgers and hot dogs for the BBQ this weekend and made it out spending less than $100, so that’s a major accomplishment. The flowers were so beautiful I decided to get some and swing by the store to get a few other things and drop them off at my sponsors house to let her know we’ll all be thinking of her during her minor surgery tomorrow and hopefully brighten her day when she looks at the flowers in her house after.

Some days seem to last an eternity, but the weeks and months fly by. I’m feeling melancholy tonight. I don’t know what I pictured my life would be like at this age when I was younger, but I’m sure this is not it. It’s just one of those days, and I will allow myself to feel this way instead of fighting it. My feelings are mine to feel – fully, freely, and without apology.
