Just an April Fool.

 Today is a good day. I am waiting for Katie to go to work so i can head down to my parents and bring my sister and her husband up to Logan. Katie leaves in about an hour so i have some time to kill. This past weekend was good. Overall, it was nice to have my sister in town. We hung out 2 out off the 3 days she was here. It's interesting being a DD. Generally when i go out... I go out alone so I'm the only one in charge of me. With that said, Having someone to hang out with instead of going out alone adds an interesting Dynamic to everything. While the paranoid thoughts associated with going out didn't diminish, they actually seemed somewhat amplified by the fact that i was now in charge of two other people's safety. Overall... it was a good time though.

I got my first unemployment check. Considering its an income source (small... but still an income). What it does is reinforce the fact that I have to start driving for Uber as soon as i get my car back from the Auto Body Shop. It also means that I can't be as picky as a may have liked in terms of getting my next job. I should be able to make between $1,000 - $1,500 per week from Uber which is close to what i was making at my last job. So that should get us by for a few months until i can find something. I'm also thinking about publishing the book that i had written last month. It needs minor editing... as well as a prologue... but i think i should be able to post it on Amazon by the end of the week. It's only about 80 pages right now. But 80 pages might be the start of something great. Maybe i'll have a new career writing books and stay out of the IT industry for the foreseeable future. There's a lot of possibilities for future work / income. So we'll see what happens. 

My mind is a little scattered this morning. But i'll be on track soon enough.

Write more later.

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...
