\t\t\t\tSnow day spent indoors, just talking shit and having a good time of it. Friends are best when they stay by you in your sobriety. We were talking about message boards where the dried out congregate. I spotted one yesterday and intend to revisit, but he was talking about one where the consensus was identical to what I’ve been thinking all week: “I don’t miss the bars, I don’t miss the buzz, the hangovers, the scene. I don’t miss anything except the ability to sleep.” Word. It’s all I could think through another sleepless night waiting for that holistic bullshit pill to kick in. I don’t think it ever did, but I was back-of-mind worried that the bathroom window was wide open and blowing cold air into the room and basically straight into my face. I remembered a line from “The Exorcist”, where the doctors interrogated Regan’s mother on the cleanliness of her house. They were implying that Regan being possessed of The Devil was some kind of infection. “Was the bedroom window open? An open window is a magic carpet for bacteria.” If I had left the window open I might have woken up POSSESSED OF THE DEVIL. But I appear to be Satan-free, at least as much as I ever was.<\/p>\n
Sans alcohol you would think we did do gimlets considering what I did after he left. I went out into the snow wearing sandals on my feet. Haha. I made it to the Mi Tierra and back without, amazingly enough, a single drop of snow getting onto my socks. Now I am all \u00a0booted up, and made it to the BakewayNYC sans Satan and sans incident.<\/p>\n
The kitchen is looking great. I need to scrub the floor and such, but it’s looking like it makes a lot more sense now. I semi-retired the convection over, storing it where some of the dark room gear used to be. Yes, the kitchen is cleaner, and everyone knows that a cleaner kitchen is a path to greatness. GREATNESS!<\/p>\n
Just going to look out the window at the falling snow for a little bit.<\/p>\n
I got a Balaklava. It will be my best friend for the rest of the winter. It is bright red.<\/p>\n
Going home again, to debate Amazon purchases with all the money I’ve saved from not pouring liquor down my face.<\/p>\n
