21. Sitting in a doctor’s waiting room, getting a mental health check as I finally have the guts to do it.

22. Slowly getting better. It’s been a very rough year, but I’m healing.

23. Miserable.

My roommate is trying to throw me out on the street. I told her to contact law enforcement if she felt unsafe and she hasn’t. Her job told me to do a welfare check on her, I spoke to her mother who told me not to, so I didn’t, then she threatened legal action against me if I don’t leave.

Yesterday someone wished I’d be homeless again. They might get their wish.

25. I am fighting like hell for happiness.

Life is a mess right now but I’m making an active decision to chin up and be hopeful. No, not in a toxic positivity way–but there IS an amount of happiness I can choose right now and I’ll be damned if I don’t choose it.

Whatever does it take to not off myself, right?

27. This week my mom kicked my dad out. My mom left for a couple of days and my dad moved back in and tried to kick my mom out. Meanwhile, my mom found my vodka. I also work a 15-hour tomorrow (for metric users that’s 15 hours).

28. My wife had a heart attack 10 years ago and has had to undergo EECP (look it up, it is amazing) 3 times since her heart attack. These treatments go for 7 weeks, 5 days a week for an hour each time.

Tomorrow is her last treatment and it has made a huge difference. We’re also setting out for a 7 days cruise on Friday.

So, in answer to the question, I couldn’t be better.

29. Today I’m euphoric! For the past few years, I’ve been drinking a lot, I never let it disrupt my work or responsibilities, but almost every day, several drinks a day, on days where I said I’m going to take a break from drinking I ended up drinking anyway. I gained a lot of weight and was 60 pounds overweight. But a couple of weeks ago I had a wake-up call, something in my brain just clicked and I realized where I was and where I wanted to be. I’m a couple of weeks sober and have already shed several pounds through dieting. I didn’t realize how miserable my body was from all that drinking and fast food. I feel g*ddamn fantastic! My BP has gone down from 145/115 to 118/67 (I have hypertension–and yes I am currently seeing a doc about it), and my health is only going to get better once I lose all this weight. I’m determined, and my husband has been so supportive, he makes this lifestyle change so much easier. I feel like my hormones are leveling out now that I’m not having all that alcohol, the first few days I had crazy withdrawals, but as the days went on I felt mentally more together, and today I feel so g*ddamn happy I could explode into confetti! haha
