Today is just one of those days...

 I had a good time this past weekend. Nothing really major to report symptom wise. I saw my parents for Easter.. and overall i have been in a good mood for the past few days. On Friday I met with my med manager who said we should lower the Risperidone due to the uncomfortable mouth movements that i have been experiencing. The drop in medication initially made me anxious which spiked my symptoms but right now it hasn't been that bad. With that said i've been working from home for the last two days so that probably is helping with the transition. Tomorrow its back in the office but i have a 10am start time instead of 7am.  I am helping with coverage of someones shift so that's why im starting that late in the day. While I havent been able to adjust in such a short amount of time, i am hoping that tomorrow morning i get up early and have enough energy to Shower, make breakfast, and maybe catch the news before i head off to work. I need to get out of the habit of staying in bed until the last possible moment. While i enjoy sleep... its not healthy. Its a very bad habit that i've fallen into and i need to figure out a way around it. It should just be as simple as telling myself before bed that im not going to do it anymore. But any time i do that i end up in a worse off morning that i would normally have.

I looked into monitizing my Blog with google ad sense... but apparently my content isnt good enough for that.  I may look into some of my interests and determine if it would be possible to create a second blog relating to that so that i can start to make some money off of writing.  Writing is something i enjoy and im thinking if i can earn some scratch from it its worth while. 

My Dad's 70th birthday is Sunday... You can tell he's progressing with his parkinsons. His mind is there but his speech is starting to fail him

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...
