Tuesday after Covid

This past weekend wasn't all that great. On Thursday, I started to come down with a fever. Covid had been going around the office so I decided to test myself and it came back positive. By Mid-Day Friday i had to leave work early... the following 36 hours were filled with sleep and sweating. I'm pretty sure when i woke up Sunday morning the blanket on the bed was completely soaked. Sunday morning I took it slow though and cleaned up the house. Mainly being determined not to sink into a depression as a result of the illness. Today, Tuesday, I feel much better. With the exception of a stuffy nose and nasally voice - you wouldnt know I was sick at all. 

I'm glad i got it out of the way for the season early. I'd rather burn the sick time this year than next. I think that's what happened this year... back in January i got sick for 4 days and it burned through nearly all of my sick time for the year. Today has been good so far though. It's about 5:30am in the morning... and to be honest i've already accomplished alot. I'm leaving for work at 6am... which is earlier than normal but considering my boss is out of the office i feel its important to get an early jump on the day. Sometime between today and tomorrow I need to do laundry. I am thinking right after work tonight would probably be best. I need to get to bed early tomorrow if I hope to keep in the same routine again.

I had some unusual dreams last night. Not surprising though. Not in the slightest. I lost a few pounds as a result of being sick. Not the worst thing i guess. 


That's about all I got. Write more tomorrow

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...
