Exercise is good for the soul.

So... Yesterday I made it a point to get 10,000 steps in throughout the day. This included a 2.25 Mile walk with one of my friends around a lake in the area. Then once my girlfriend got out of work at 6:00pm her and I went for another 1.5 mile walk on a walking path near her house. Today... I loaded up my bike onto the back of my car and did a 7 mile bike ride on one of the bike paths in my area. Total time was about 45 minutes to complete. I burned about 300 calories.

My mental health right now is good. I wont say it's great... with the Corona virus closing virtually every business in the area it's hard for me to tell if the paranoid feeling is still there because I'm not out in public. What I can tell is that when I went to get gas this morning I didn't have the feeling that the cameras were secretly being monitored by the government in an attempt to track my whereabouts. That had been a common feeling I had with everything because we live in the age of surveillance and its entirely possible that some where... some server is secretly dedicated to me and tracking my every movement. The Brightside is that there would likely be a server out there somewhere tracking you too... so it would be a universal thing... not just targeting me. And... considering I'm a rather unimportant individual... the likelihood that I would end up on any red flag scenarios is rather low.

We will see how the rest of this weekend goes,

That's all for now,

A couple of weeks to reset.

Recently, I got a new job. When i went to put in my two weeks at my existing job management indicated that I didn't have to come in and could be discharged early if i wanted. So i said ok. I've had about 2 weeks off by this point and I start my new job on Monday the 28th. I'm looking forward to it.  While I've been off, I've been tending to things around the house and becoming more active. I've been able to go to the gym virtually any time i want... and the wife and I even took up Basketball today. I'm hoping that i can spend this fall / winter / spring getting my physical health in order while at the same time advancing my career. I am also working on Quitting smoking. Today is day 3 of 56 in the program. I'm expecting my sense of smell to improve sometime in the next 24 hours. Usually it kicks in between day 3 and day 5. It usually comes on suddenly and without warning. All of a sudden the smells of the room I'm in are overly amplified. Which can h...

Why I'm no longer on Chantix

 While the medication can be good for some, I noticed a stark difference in my thought patterns after the 5 day mark. I had actually gone as long as nine days on the medication but i found that day 8 did not start with a resolving throwing the pack away and moving on into the future with resolve and courage. In fact, it was quite the opposite. By the end of day 8 I had resolved pretty negatively that I was better off dead. The negative attitude i was developing was interfering with my job, and my marriage. I would honestly advise anyone who has Schizoaffective disorder, Bi-Polar type, to stay clear of Chantix as a smoking cessation medication. About three days after coming off the medication i did notice a shift in thinking in a new direction though. I wouldn't say that it reset my thought patterns, but it actually gave me a new hopes and ideas.  I correlated that my good morning habits in years past wasn't due to not being on the medication or working third shift.... It was a...

The last few days of August.

 This year had basically been chaotic for me. Between Me losing and getting a new job to Katie going out on TDI and quitting her job. The only thing that really stayed constant was the apartment. Nothing wrong with that I suppose.   In Recent developments... I got my teeth and eyes checked out for the first time in about 10 years. I didn't have any cavities (Which pissed off Katie). But I did require a root and scaling procedure. As for My vision.. I could have probably spent 10 dollars on readers rather than going with the prescription... But I at least know why my eyes are as bad as they are. Apparently when I was a kid... I was suppose to wear an eye patch to correct a lazy eye. But it never happened because the doctors back then thought that I needed glasses which I never really ended up wearing. Well... hear I am 30 years later and I need glasses. I'm not bitching about it... I'm just making a general observation. I recently heard about age spurts.. basically at 2 dist...
