First week at work.

 It's Sunday. I've spent the better part of the day running errands and doing chores. I went down to Walmart this morning and picked up 3 out of 5 prescriptions. I gotta go back later in the week to get my other two scripts. While I was there I also picked up some razors and a pair of sweat pants. My Goal for December is to go to the gym everyday its open. Walk 5 miles. And then call it a day. It's not just a goal for December... but an ongoing goal for the next year or so. I recently heard a story from a Musician who told me he lost 77 pounds in 8 Months by Cutting out Booze... Walking 5 miles every day on the Treadmill... and Counting Calories. So I figure if a guy in his 60's could do it... why can't I?

I cleaned up the house today and vacuumed around the litter boxes. Also I made the bed, and hung back up the spice rack which had fallen down about a month ago. It's drilled into the studs so that should mean that it wont fall out anytime soon. I'm waiting for the Laundry machines to become available so I can start doing laundry. I don't know if I have enough detergent to do two loads... but that's about as much Laundry as i have... so I may be running out later to get more detergent so I can finish my laundry. 

I beat Doom for PS4 this week. I promptly bought doom eternal on the PS Store because it was on sale for 15 bucks. Katie wants us to be Donkey Kong 64 before starting Doom Eternal So i am hoping we can get that done within the next two weeks. It's surprising  how difficult the old N64 games were. I would much rather fight a cyber demon than deal with a Jack in the Box. 

My first week at work went well. Monday and Tuesday I was shadowing one of the expeditors. Wednesday I was shadowing one of the level 1 techs... and Thursday and Friday I was working independently. Next week I have Thursday and Friday off for the Thanksgiving Holiday. I am looking forward to my first pay check to see how much I'm actually earning. My Medical and Dental kick in January 1st. Then in March my 401k kicks in. They do a decent Match at that point so I'm going to put in the additional to make it a total of a 10% contribution. A few years of that should give me a decent amount in my 401k. I've got quite a way to go considering I've had to cash out several times over the years. A choice I now regret.

Tomorrow night I am going over my Cousin's to help her finish up her Mac. I had gone over a few weeks back and set her up with her own profile on it, as well as gotten rid of some old software and removed a few user accounts. Now I have to go over and install the latest version of Mac OSX and make sure that her photo's sync with her MacBook and Cell Phone. Most of the time is going to be spent waiting rather than doing any actual work. Generally I turn down food when it's offered. Something that was sorta engrained in my head for an unknown reason. But tomorrow if she offers food I'm going to take her up on the offer. Tuesday Katie and I are going to go see House of Gucci because it looks really good and Katie has a thing for Adam Driver. Wednesday night I think we are going to go pick up my scripts (if they are ready). Thursday is Thanksgiving dinner at my Parents... and I'm off Friday so no plans other than maybe cleaning up the house.

Tonight when Katie gets home from work we are going to be going for a walk, As well as going to Job Lot to get Socks. I found all week that my feet were freezing in the office but she got me thermal socks and that seems to help a bit, so we are going to go buy more pairs. For dinner tonight I am either making Stir Fry Vegetables with Chicken Substitute, or we are going to have Veggie Burgers. I am not sure which one yet. I will likely go with the Veggie Burgers and do the stir fry Wednesday Night. 

That's about all I can think of.

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...
