Day 122. I would've consumed about 70 1.75s of vodka in that time if I were still drinking. That saved me about 1,100 dollars. For the folks reading in the UK that's 808.02 pounds. For the folks reading in Australia that's 1,504.99 Australian dollars. If I didn't drink bottom-shelf plastic bottle stuff that cost would be even higher. I would also be a cadaver lying in a dumpster if I was drinking all of that.

Day 123. Unlike Alabama my winning streak is continuing. 
Another esoteric joke that people outside the US won't get. I've used the dancing banana so many times it's not funny anymore. Kind of like those irritating Geico ads that they show 4,000 times an hour on every damn channel. Except those were never funny to begin with.

I don't seem to have any extra money although I spent a LOT on booze

Day 124. I actually (finally) filled out 2 job applications today. 
I'll actually be able to work early morning shifts because I won't be left over drunk and asleep like I used to be during the early morning hours. The bird woke up in the middle of the night and fell on the cage floor and started freaking out by flapping all over the place. 
I was able to quickly console him and he went back to sleep. Just like a crying baby in a crib.

Congrats on your 124th day sober! 
You're doing this.
I remember not scheduling anything for Mondays - knew I'd be hungover & miserable. Usually by Wed. I might feel human again. I'm so glad we don't lead that life anymore.

Day 125. I have a phone interview on Friday. Not sure if I want the job, but worth trying. I bought the bird new cage accessories and remodeled his cage. Once I get a job I might buy him a friend. Having multiple birds in one cage is as noisy as a bull in a china shop though, from what I remember. Then again I don't remember much from May 2008- November 2020 because I was perpetually intoxicated by substances during that span.

Day 126. I'm trying to teach the bird to say "hello".
I found a Youtube video that repeats the word over and over again for an hour. It's irritating to listen to, but still less irritating than any Five Finger Death Punch album. I wish there was a Youtube video that would train him not to poop in his water dish.

Can you not get the bird one of those things that hang of the side of the cage with water a drip thing? Or are those just for hamsters?
I think birds seem to learn cursing quicker, from what I've seen. Maybe " ******* hello"?

Day 127. I have an interview tomorrow. I'm nervous because I'm terrible at interviews. 
I might be even worse at the actual jobs. The other two haven't even replied back to me. I'm such a lost cause I can't even get a job at a pet store during a labor shortage.
