October 12, 2022 Day 7

Day 7 of 30

So far I have done pretty well on my challenge for better health. I have not had any alcoholic beverages in seven days, no fast food, and no junk food. I have however slipped up a couple of times on the no weed. Or does hashish count? I also had one late-night snack. Strangely that was the same day I had a puff of the herb… hmm could be it connected? I tell myself, no but I know better.

I have managed to exercise every day. I went to the gym three times in the last seven with my daughter. On the other days, I walked or worked on a physical job. 

I even refrained from drinking after my intense boat ride on a storm-battered lake. But that was the day I slipped and had a puff. It was a pretty stressful day, I proved to myself that if I smoked I had a late-night snack. 

My other goal was my writing. I have written my 500 words per day and felt good about my productivity. But I have not worked on my book, which is what I need to focus on to get that written.

So I move forward, I spent the morning applying for EI for the first time in my life. Perhaps this winter I can join the EI ski team. Perhaps I can get 50 days on skis this year… perhaps.

I no longer work for the company I worked for the last three years. Part of that company was a google account and account I stupidly attached my YouTube Premium account to.

Did you know there is no way to contact YouTube or Google? 

I didn’t either.

I spent half an hour on the phone trying to talk to my bank. But when I finally reached a human I was informed they could not stop a pre-authorised payment.

Sometimes I hate new technology.

I was told that there was nothing I could do, I could sit on hold with security but they may not be able to help either. My best choice was to reach out to the former boss and ask for access to change the account. The last thing I want to do. 

Why can’t I just call someone and asked for it to be changed? Apparently, in the new world, we live in the phone is almost obsolete. 

Sometimes I feel almost obsolete.

Just another first-world problem. But it’s still a problem. So I sent an email asking them the help me.

And I get up to face another day…
