i've been mormon all week. no drinking, no drugs, no sex, not even caffeine. the first couple days seemed really odd. it was hard to pull all of my thoughts in line, my brain was scattered. now, things have leveled out and life is just... well... it's life. it's not "drunk life" after work or "slow life" before my morning cup of coffee(s). it's not good or bad in and of itself. it just is. i just exist. other people just exist. things just are and i just go through them day in and day out - the bus shows up on time, the bus takes me to work, i work, i eat, i type, i work some more, the bus takes me home, my cat pees on the floor, i clean up the pee, i fix dinner, i maybe do some dishes, i definitely put a movie on, i get to sleep a good 8 hours, the next day replaces the current one...
i'm not really excited about anything these days... well, except for the holidays. it's not even the holidays, because those have become routine also. sleep in, see people, make food, eat food, drink, feign merriment for the general amusement of everyone, my cat pees on the floor, i clean up the pee, there is some more food, maybe a movie, and sleep. it's the people that come with the holidays this year. i maybe met someone that i think is slightly wonderful. i'm really looking forward to seeing them again.
clocked in many hours of overtime this week, but got a lot done. so, all in all, that's a good thing.
three day weekend ahead with relatively no plans for saturday and monday. need to fix that before the monotony of everyday life washes over these days and turns them into two more routines.
