  • I’m fortunate that the bins on my street are collected twice-daily. The trade-off is that the bins lorries have LED sides. Lights up my entire bedroom when they pull up. I’m also opposite a pub, so every Wednesday morning starting around 7 it’s non-stop clanging from barrel deliveries. I live above two shopfronts, so every morning through midnight is bullshit noises. I live under a lamppost, so the council putting up Christmas lights means a cherry picker staring through my windows. I’m just bitching, but the LED buses and lorries are fuckin wild.


  • I usually do the first 111 days of every year sober, but this year was determined to do a year and a half, with a view to stay sober more permanently.

    I started early on Dec 1st, and a few friends were a bit weird about it. I ended up drinking on NYE, then at a birthday party two weeks ago, then four days ago to celebrate a new job (which I’m now going to have to turn down, because the finances just aren’t there).

    I’m finding it a real struggle. Work sucks, and everything seems to be annoying me at the moment. I’m trying to self isolate so I can deal with it, but some of my friends are making me feel so guilty about that that I can’t relax when I’m on my own. I can’t even manage to do chores, I’m so frazzled, so my apartment is a mess. Just a miserable start to the year! But it’ll get better. Never regretted not drinking in hindsight. IWNDWYT!
