Journal Entry

Everybody has to work in some way. I was happy to arise to start the new week, but I know I must do more today than just go to work.

I did install a door, it took three runs to the Home Depot to get more material, but we won in the end. We arrived on site at 9 am after a fifty minute drive and worked until 6 to complete it.

Second job: taxes. I spent the evening (what’s left of it) scouring lasts years bank accounts especially deposits. I’m on path and have a plan. Next: itemize the deductions. That may be a little more time consuming. But, if I can get all the numbers, then a professional can bring it together quicker and cheaper!

I edited my life story tonight. Every time I look back or think of the things behind it is distracting. I actually try to forget by living in today and looking for tomorrow. I don’t know if that’s healthy or not, but I don’t like the emotional roller coaster and the memories. I’m not mad or sad, or even angry about my past. I really have no opinion formally other than I like who I am and whatever is in my past brought me to here. Healthy, unhealthy, I really don’t know.

Speaking of the past, I’ve been thinking about a time that I was gambling on slot machines. I have a friend at the AA and we used to talk about it and the addiction of gambling. Im thinking I’ll call him and see when the meetings are and what they are about.
