A Random Post

 So, I failed my Exam yesterday. I was a bit butt hurt about it but to be honest I did better than the first time I took the exam so I guess I should be happy. I am going to plan a retake for sometime in May. I need to review the material on the Microsoft Website again to get a better grasp on the areas that I am having an issue with. I believe they would have the latest course material. Or at least I hope they should. 

My Mental health is improving. With the increase in risperidone I am find that I am not having the Auditory issues that I was experiencing previously... however i do have an unusual side effect... I'm finding that when I'm moving I'm having unusual mouth movements. These appear to be unconscious as I'm moving my tongue... licking my lips... or moving my jaw in usual ways. This only appears to be while driving.. however last night at Walmart I found myself doing the same thing. I don't know if I need to have my Cogentin increased... Or if It's just something I have to deal with for now. I really don't want medication increased. So I'd prefer to deal with it. I have a doctors appointment scheduled for Noon on Friday, So I am going to bring it up then. 

Works been good this week. Even with the failed exam, I kept busy so far and should have a good plan for the rest of the week. I managed to do laundry and clean up the house a little while I was working from home today. Tomorrow is an in office day... and it's looking like its going to be a busy one. 

I gotta go to church at some point this weekend. I can't remember if it's Easter or Christmas that they do Midnight mass... but I'm thinking I'm going to go Saturday. I've been meaning to go to confession for a number of years... So I think I am going to do that during the day so that I am can receive the Sacrament.

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...
