Started my new job today

[arrrgyle]

Sales associate at a pet store.  I'm pretty excited about it.  I like retail- I enjoyed working at the Gap more than any other job I've had before or since, and plus I love animals.  Since I still can't walk with the sprained ankle I just spent all morning in the back room taking training courses on the computer.

Ten days sober.  Hitting up another meeting tonight.  I think I've lost a little weight since I quit drinking.  I don't have a scale but my pants feel a little looser.  I guess my body's happy to not have to deal with all those extra empty calories every night, plus I've had like no appetite at all since I quit.  My friends say this is normal.

I'm feeling pretty good about life... like this whole sobriety thing, plus having a new job I'm sure I'll enjoy doing, is the start of something good.  I just want to be able to walk again!  Crutches are such a pain in the ass.  My good leg is sore from hopping around, plus I somehow have two mosquito bites on my good foot despite hardly going outside since I fell... I guess a mosquito got in while I left the door cracked for my dog to go in and out as she wishes.

I guess life is pretty good when bug bites are annoying me more than anything else.
