ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Sept. 20 marks 14 months without alcohol.
After the pandemic, my desire to drink more accelerated. I tried taking off a set number of days, but that didn't seem to help. Tried drinking on certain days. Nope.
I was tired of how I felt and looked and didn't want to live the rest of my life relying on alcohol.
Luckily, I didn't hit rock bottom—I just scraped it a few times.
So, I drank what was left at my house and never bought more. I still haven't.
This is that story, plus a shoutout at the end for Orville Peck and his new album, Mule.

I'm back at physical therapy once again, doing millions of squats, clamshells,…
I hit a sad realization over the weekend: my arthritic hip won't let me attempt a half-marathon next month. After I ran-hiked an 8K on Saturday, the hip yelled at me all day and night, and I knew if I tried doing 13.1 miles on pavement, I would destroy what's left of it.
So, I did what I considered…
It's no one's fault but mine, but I managed to get the flu over Christmas. Coughing, nose-blowing, feeling crappy. It's the first time that I can remember having this as an adult.
I'm improving, but relieved to not be doing Snowdrop this year, because of this.
Looking back and ahead a little.

Trying not to have a first-world pity party, but I've had a few major setbacks. Fold in my already-dark mood surrounding my birthday and you get a sort of saddish tale.
Appliance failure, plumbing gone wrong, I DNF'd a 10K, no one really helped me celebrate a Big Birthday, and just the realization …
