Program: I prayed this morning. I went to the Attitude Adjustment meeting this morning. I also talked to D* after the meeting – I think I’m going to back up in my step work & stop trying to force my amends. We’re going to meet after Thanksgiving. I set an alarm to meditate this afternoon, but I was chatting with A* when it went off & ignored it. I renewed my habit of calling D* in the evening - & got her voice mail, which is the irritant that made me stop doing it.

Mood: My mood has been all right today. I’m relieved that the dogs are with Shay & Laurel for a few days. I’m pleased that I cleaned my apartment & got a ton of laundry done.

Exercise: I didn’t exercise today.

Sleep: Last night’s sleep was poor. I ate a lot of processed carbs yesterday & paid for it with searing indigestion.

Food: Mixed. I ate my standard breakfast (coffee w/cream, Southern keto casserole, cheesy biscuit), plus a Siggi’s cherry yogurt. Then I ate leftover pizza for lunch & skipped dinner. I’m making Texas red chili in the InstaPot right now, to enter in the office chili cook-off tomorrow.

Grats: 1. I finally migrated my journal from LiveJournal to Dreamwidth. I’ve wanted to do that for years. I have a lot of work ahead of me, deleting all the LJ entries & re-coding all the imported entries with tags. But I will feel better not having my data sitting on SixApart’s servers. 2. My chili came out very well. If people like Texas red as a style, I could win tomorrow.

I've had this LJ for twelve years! That's kinda crazy to me. I haven't been using it much since Facebook sucked me in - except for the past month, I've used it to document my #whole30. Being here every day has felt - good! I remember what it's like to be able to use my own HTML tags & place pics where I want them, give things tags so I can find them later, & generally just have more control over my content. Facebook is very limited in comparison.

And while the crowds are definitely gone from here, in a way that's rather nice too. The feel of my LJ has returned to what it was when I first started posting - mostly, I felt like I was talking to myself, but friends would occasionally chime in. Now, it feels about the same - many posts get no comments, some get a couple, & that's fine - because for the most part, I'm writing for myself.

I will still be posting daily #whole30 posts for the next 10 days at least, as I re-introduce food groups one at a time & try to identify exactly where my food sensitivities lay (I suspect either dairy, gluten, or all grains are going to be permanently eliminated from my diet). That will make 40 days of at least one post a day. I wonder if that will be enough to re-kindle the habit of posting here.
