7/7/2024

 It's Sunday on the East Coast of the USA. Today has been a good day so far. Kat and I went to Walmart to pick up some things for her. I didn't get much. Just Tooth Paste and Hair Dye for the beard. We also got some stuff for the cats. A couple of Catnip toys and a new bed for them. I hope they use the bed otherwise it was a waste of $40 bucks. Since we got home The focus was on Doing Laundry and cleaning. I ended up buying a USB 3.0 HDD Dock. I swapped cases for the parts last week and I ended up with a Few HDDs that i couldn't mount in the case. So... a USB Dock is the way to go. 

Later today we are going food shopping (2+ hours). I gotta figure out semi healthy meals for the next week or so. It's really a toss up between quick and easy and healthy. But considering i didn't cook dinner at all last week and basically lived off fast food... i gotta make the change today to try and get better. What i really need to do is start working on a Keto Diet for not only my mental health... but also for my diet. One of my Aunt's switched to Keto about a year ago (I think?) and she's lost over 60 pounds. At this point if I lost 60 pounds I'd be right at my goal weight. I thought about signing up for the gym again. Probably Anytime fitness for the simple reason that it's a 24 hours gym. I'd be able to go late night on Fridays and Saturdays that I don't have anything else going on. The problem is the heat. It'd to damn miserable outside to try and go walking for an extended period of time.

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...
