First Week of Work

I have been sober for 12 days. I have not watched television in 12 days. I do not even own a television.

I set small goals for myself and I accomplished a lot this week. I know how to ride the bus to and from work. I was able to drive to work today without the GPS. I even discovered Saudi Aramco Studio one radio. It is like American satellite radio with pop, 8Os and classic. Station plays the song Dance Monkey by Tones and I. It is my new favorite.

I learned my Arabic numerals. I can write my numbers from 1 to 9. I have no chance speaking the numbers. I am used to my Arabic and English keyboard.

I was able to cook spicy chicken nuggets in the oven without directions. I don’t own a microwave. The box only had directions on how to deep fry.

I had my first date this week. The date seeds are very hard so you remove it and replace with an almond seed.

In my spare time, I’ve become quite the gourmet cook. I made my own recipe BBQ baked beans. It’s really all about the presentation.
