Damp January

Dahlia's ear is doing much better. She's so tolerant of me washing her ear and cleaning it up, and washing her neck because shit is oozing out of her ear. Twice a day. She does see me coming with the bowl and the wash cloth, so she runs to Doug who lovingly welcomes her into his protection, and consoles her while I do my thing. 

Today I was going to go to the gym but made dinner instead. 

I also wanted to note that the last 2 weeks I've been drinking a lot less. Realizing that I have no reason to have wine or a cocktail, I've semi-eliminated alcohol during the week. I went 7 days I think without having any. Saturday I went to see Tim play at a brewery. Sunday was DnD so it was wine. Monday was a no-work day, and I had wine. Aside from those 3 days in the last 2 weeks, it's been pretty steady to not have any alcohol.

A lot of people do "Dry January" when they don't drink at all. I've never done that, but this is the first stretch of time I've gone more than 2 days without something. 

Not bragging or anything, but wanted to just note it. Also hoping maybe possibly it helps with the A1C next time I get tested. Maybe.

Tomorrow's Doug's birthday so I'll probably have something when we go out. A little something. Maybe. 

That's about it. super boring. Just a lot of work. A lot.
