Today is Saturday, the 6th  Well now.  Seems once again I lost track of my days of sobriety again.  Today is actually day 20! I'm going to count that as a good thing.  I'm really not obsessing.  LOL  Or maybe cuz the calendar on this site is a day off from my time.  Or maybe cuz I'm just losing it.  Guess it doesn't really matter.I feel ansy today, so far.  Was raking the backyard at 7:30, loaded beer cans in my car to recycle.  I can only fit two bags at a time.  I have three bags more to do and that will be the end of those things.  I'm going to start recycling my vitamin water bottles.  I used to just throw them in the recycling bin but I figure I may as well get some sort of redemption any way I can. I don't like feeling ansy so I will be paying extraordinary attention to my thoughts today.  The maintenance man is coming over today to replace my screen that was vandalized.  I live in a cottage with a loft.  I love it!  It's perfect for me.  I have no shared walls.  I have a good sized backyard and a cute little front porch.  I think I have a hose hookup but it looks like it has been painted over for a thousand years so I will see if George ( maint. man) can get it going and then I can seriously start doing something in my back yard - which is currently basically a tree, dirt bordered with a fence.  Not very appealing and no sense in planting if I can't even water anything.  We'll see. I think I need to stay seriously busy today.  My boyfriend gave me $440 yesterday and the IRS - believe it or not - deposited $600 into my account on 08/29 for-get this-MY Economic Stimulus Payment ( NOT to be required to report as taxable income!)Hot fricking damn!!!  Being unemployed for 6 out of 7 months is pretty scary.  I don't know what I would've done without my unemployment bennies.  So I will stimulate the economy indeed with these two extra treats.  A new hose and a few plants.  I enjoy planting by seed so that's a lot cheaper right there.  But I do need some larger plants.  Actually I would LOVE to hire someone to prep the backyard.  I don't have any of the tools.  Okay...I can tell I'm getting excited and that's a good thing!  On with the day...When I get a job I'll be able to put on a smilie face.
