Today is a good day, Right?

 It's a little after 12:15pm. I've over heating to the fullest extent possible. I have all of the windows open in the apartment, hoping that would cool me off but sadly it seems to have had the opposite effect. I don't know if it's because it's raining.. or if its just my body chemistry... But I feel warm in the face, and cold to the touch. 

This past week I made a real push to get my time up to the 80% that they are requesting of us. I finished the week at 81% which is good. At a meeting we had last Monday they indicated that the bonus program may be coming back, So that is good incentive for me to complete my tasks and mark all of my time. In reality I should be finishing the week between 90% and 100%. The gaps would be any meetings that i have during the day. 

I met with my new med manager on Wednesday. She stated that we had met before but for the life of me I don't remember it. She got my general background information and prescribed me something for Anxiety as I have been having a rough go of it at work since I returned to the office. The meds seemed to be really effective when I took them Thursday... but that might have been placebo because when I took them Friday they had less of an effect. I've taken them this weekend... and have had no real issues so far. I guess the trick will be on Monday when I return to the office. 

Friday night Katie and I went to go see batman. Good movie. Long but it doesn't feel that way.  Highly recommend it.

Today i went out to breakfast with my parents. Afterwards i went and i got a couple pairs of jeans... as well as a new belt. My old one was damaged. I got home a little while ago and started cleaning. Got most of the house all set. Now i just need to do laundry. Katie will be home in about 2 hours. Im hoping we can go for a walk when she gets home if she's not too tired. In the meantime, i'm gonna read and listen to some music. 


Thats 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...
