If anybody else wants to be added to the roll call, just let me know

I went for a run in terrible weather, fell, hurt myself and got some mild hypothermia, so I took a couple days off. I eased back in, but I'm back on track with my training plan. I'll probably skip speed work this week because my knee is still sore.

I'm back on intermittent fasting. It was rough the first couple days, but I'm doing good with it now. Still eating quite a bit of junk, but so far it looks like I'm on track to lose a pound a week. That's right where I want to be, I want to lose 15 pounds without losing muscle.

Otherwise I've been too busy to do my other goals. Every time I sit down to work on my music I either too tired or something comes up.

I thought I had an average week even though it's been a big one.

I finally applied for a new job, doing administrative work on the county council. It's nothing big but I want to get out of minimum wage customer service.

I finally got a gym membership. I've not been to the gym since I left college, but now I have gotten back around to my local gym. Feels great being there, even if it's a worse gym than my college one.

My anxiety has been massively down. I've had stressful incidents at work that would have caused me to spiral a year ago, but I was just annoyed and then got on with my day.

It didn't feel like a big week because I wasn't anxious about doing these things, they just took time.

It feels like the opposite what I should be posting here but I feel like I need to at least say it: I have continued with my downward spiral for the x^th^ month in a row. My drinking has maintained or increased, I drank well over 2 liters of liquor last week. I have continued to self-isolate from the people that I care about for a variety of reasons. I have all but completely stopped cooking and instead end up eating whatever fucking slop is available to me since I have so little free time. Half of my kitchen is broken anyways so cooking/meal prepping is dramatically harder anyways. One of my dogs is really sick and has been a struggle to properly care for. I am slowly falling deeper into debt in a way that is feeling suffocating with no real way out at the moment. Work is feeling increasingly perilous recently which is adding to the stress. The only thing that brings me any joy is walking my dogs, playing Hades 2, and numbing myself with weed/alcohol. I'm not tired per se since I sleep well and regularly exercise but I have a world weariness that is seemingly impossible to shake. I'm hanging in there but just being perfectly honest: shit sucks.

This week I go back to reading, starting today 100 pages. I also did more online training for HVAC, my test I did on Saturday I'll know the results 2 weeks from then but still learning and getting my resume ready. Im on matter the results once I get them I'll start hitting up places to see if I can get an HVAC job.
