Good Day Back
Ma and I went to Blue Plate Cafe for breakfast. She ate, I didn’t as I had oatmeal before I left River Valley. It was nice to come home and cuddle up with Lily. She had purrs in store for me. ...

Damn y’all write a lot. I’m back. The rehab facility was a joke. Most of the staff hated each other. Big push on God/higher power to get/stay sober. I kept a day to day journal, a lot of which is...
See Y'all In 30 Days!
6:04 AM Woke up thirty minutes ago. I’m having a smoke before I take a shower. All packed up. One duffel bag, one suitcase and a carry bag with my toiletries. I’m nervous. I’ll be fine thoug...
Feet N Knees
Mom took off today to spend time with me. We went walking around the historical district downtown. Houses there date back to the early 1800’s. A lot of Civil War history as we were occupied by...
Oh Look, Another Entry
It’s 1:36 AM and of course I’m awake. Just waiting on the trazodone to kick in. Mom took tomorrow (today?) off to hang before I go in on Monday. I’m browsing Google images for my next tattoo id...
Reflection
Seeing how I’m off to rehab Monday I’ve been thinking about my life. Namely when I finally admitted I was an alcoholic. Either 2009 or 2010. That was around the time I found this underrated dar...
Off My Chest Rant
I went to Krystal’s today for some cheese burger sliders. Had to stand around for ten minutes before the girl took my order then another THIRTY minutes to get my food. “Fast” food my ass! There ...

Even after taking a trazodone I can’t fucking sleep. 🤬 I have way too much shit to do in the morning and afternoon to deal with this right now.
Afternoon Adventure
Let me start by saying I’m super tired, the DayQuil has worn off (I’ve taken more) and I’m super full. My aunt called saying her car broke down last night and she needed a lift to it to get some...
Old Number 7
Just got off the phone with River Valley. My assessment has been processed and I’m number 7 on the list. Rehab here I come. Probably another few weeks though. I’m feeling better, sinuses are...
Officially October 25th

Typical
I tried to go to group today but when the counselor heard how stuffy I am I was sent away. Oh well, whatever. Ran my errands for the day now watching the Criminal Minds marathon. I normally don’...
The Long Sleep
I didn’t fall asleep till sunrise today. Crashed hard and slept like a log. Glad to report that I’m feeling better. Still stuffy but aches n pains n cough are gone. Hell, after I eat I migh...

Despite The Minor Win
I’m so depressed tonight. Just talked with Mom for forty minutes face to face. I don’t know what’s wrong. Dad died on Oct. 25th 1999. If that’s what’s bothering me? I know I wished him alive...
Woo Hoo!
I didn’t even make it into the courtroom. My hacking caught the attention of the Wellstone liaison who went and talked to the judge. A few minutes later the bailiff came out with a slip I had t...
Insomnia Or Nerves?
I’m not going to be able to sleep tonight. My throat is hurting and my cough has come back. I haven’t taken any more medicine for the past two days. I want to walk into court tomorrow sick as ...
Dear Readers
If I don’t post an entry tomorrow afternoon/night, I’m in jail. The PO lady never answered my email today if she spoke to the judge about me being sick. So I’m going to go in there tomorrow an...
Bacon Wrapped Crow
Bizarre Foods America is on in the background. I’m super snotty today. 🤧 I emailed the probation lady who forwarded it to the judge that I’m sick. If you can’t tell I’m trying to get another co...
Waxing The Dome
Shaved my head and lotioned it. I need to get more razors, this one is getting dull and I don’t have any replacements. Still feeling awful. I’ve got court Friday. Odds are likely I’ll be loc...
Nicotine Fiend
I can’t smoke cause the throat hurts too much so I got some Nicorette Gum. The taste is meh but it’s doing the trick. I was feeling better but then all the meds wore off. I’m about to take so...
Pooph!
I hate that fucking commercial. Slept like shit, tossed turned, little here little there. Emailed the counselor that I’m sick, no response. Get up, get dressed and head out. Soon as she hears m...
Book Description
I came on my own volition.
I am the man that got away.
Work -
Tonight I clocked in at 4:30 PM and it was suddenly Wednesday when I worked 6:45 AM to 6 PM with only an hour lunch break and on my feet the rest. I was trying to relieve Logan in the back who was frying chicken both for our loose case and boxed hot case so he could go to lunch. Instead I got mixed with a redneck who wanted a Philly steak and cheese. I made his sandwich to order only to be confronted with the elderly gentleman behind him. He, to this shit. o, wanted a Philly. I was annoyed. Angry. Granted chicken side cooking sucks At least you’re away from the customers. I can, “pretend”, like I’m cooking chicken in the back but dick around for ten minutes, which actually rarely happens. You learn to smile and accept this shit. Made him his sandwich, didn’t stop to ask the next customer if he needed help. Instead, went straight to the back and told Logan to take his lunch, I was taking over, box up what just came up out the fryer and we’re good.
It was just one of those days. People wonder why I get stoned before work.
I.
Am.
Robot.
Tell.
Me.
What.
Is.
Next.
I’m versatile.
Put me in any situation and I come victorious.
Even on the bad days.
So when I go the hardcore bitch mode of my assistant manager on Wednesday after my eleventh hour there. I got irate.
I know she does a job for two.
Her boss/my boss sucks ass.
But fuck....I’m part time.
If you want to bitch and yell about the shit that the full timers didn’t do…bitch to them.
DON’T MAKE ME DO THEIR FUCKING SHIT THE LAST HOUR I’M THERE!
I’ve been working for this slave camp for three and a half years.
I lost my insurance last year due to me being stupid and the store manager catching on. Which is actually a big blessing. I haven’t missed a day in a year.
But I’ve been there for every shift.
Sleep, no sleep?
Fuck it.
Show up for work.
The computer takes over on schedule and now I don’t qualify for our good insurance.
I have to take the government stuff?
OK.
I’m a democrat.
Lifelong.
BUT FUCK YOU OBAMA!
Don’t tell me what to do.
I’ll go another year without health insurance.
I want my good Blue Cross Blue Shield Back.
Make my job give me the hours back for insurance.
People close to me say I need to see a therapist.
After A.A. and an almost check in at rehab.
Maybe I do need anti-depressants.
This is a rant with no one I know reading this.
Its liberating.
I welcome ProseBox into my life.
