Today I finally had enough spare money left over to finally be able to afford a specific tool set to repair my electric scooter wheel/motor.
I got a roof over my head, I got food in the fridge and in my belly, I’m connected to my siblings again, I got shoes without holes, I’m 3+ months sober, I got a job, I got over $600 in my bank account.
Life is good, I am slowly rebuilding my life everyday.
There’s nothing extraordinary about these feats but as I was getting ready to open this wheel up, I got a flashback to when I first needed to repair this thing which was nearly 2 years ago, back when I was in my own personal hell of alcoholism. Since then I’ve bought 2 new electric scooters. But I recently had my new motor die and remembered that I kept this one. I’m gonna replace the tire because the thread is nearly completely gone but the motor within works great.
Just thought I’d share something positive on here. If you’re in your own personal hell, just know that’s it doesn’t have to be permanent and that things can change for the better. You just have to believe that they can and then take that first step towards a brighter future.

I’m trying, but certain kinds of direction remain elusive. Today I ran a new extension cord to my truck, because it has to have a battery maintainer on it to be able to start, maybe tomorrow it’ll be able to start
applied for a few more jobs, I can’t really rate my enthusiasm on that front, it seemed like I was really into it at the time but it always does.
My expectations from employers are so low, it’s like meeting a brain damaged horse, who doesn’t have eyes. Sure, I’m impressed if they managed anything at this point. They’re so pampered and spoiled, must be nice to be a company in 2024, everyone wants to please you, no one expects you to be good at anything.
*sigh* tired, I just want to work on things, but it’s hard to tell which projects will be productive.
