Some positive news

While my roommate hasn't yet moved in, I do have some positive new to report. It seems like my noisy downstairs neighbors are no longer blasting music. It sucked for a few days as they had there sound system up very loud. At the request of my girlfriend... rather than confronting them about it... I contacted my landlord and he seemed to take care of the matter. The upstairs neighbors I cant really do anything about their noise. The issue is they have two little kids and while they run around their apartment and bang on the floor when they are doing it... they're kids... so I can forgive that. But I couple of guys living below me being ignorant of how loud there sound system is... that's something I can do something about. 

Sorry I killed the party guys...


In other news... Ash and Matcha are doing well. They appear to be adjusting to life with me. We took them to the vet the other day and found out they have ear mites... and that they might have worms. We gave them one treatment of Revolution to correct the problem. We have to apply another treatment in 4 weeks. Other than that... they appear to be healthy. My girlfriend has taken to Matcha… and I've taken to Ash. 

The weather looks good today. Sunny and almost 70 degrees. I'm thinking about rearranging my room but I haven't figured out how yet. I'll probably do it a few times until I get a configuration that I think I can live with for a while. The internet got setup yesterday which is good because now I don't have to use all my data. 

My symptoms aren't that great these past two days... Two nights ago I thought someone pumped a shotgun in the apartment below me... I'm sure that it was a hallucination. Or at least that's what I keep telling myself. 

That's all for now,

A lot of planning...

 So, seeing as I'm now out of work again I figure my current system isn't working. If i want to be successful in business and in life, then i need to get my basics down. Recently, I've started making sheets on excel to track what I'm doing everyday. they range everything from Diet and exercise to mood and symptoms. If i don't start tracking this stuff then I'm never going to make progress. While it's easy to put these items into practice using 1000s of apps... i found that just writing it all down on a few excel spreadsheets and tracking it by hand several times a day is a lot easier to remember. And it gets me off my phone. Lately I've be "Doom Scrolling" without any real purpose and what ends up happening is eventually the AI algorithm starts showing me videos of people dying in car crashes. Not exactly what makes me happy ya know. So I've got my lists and that's what I'll be working on for the foreseeable future while i attempt t...

A Bit of Hope on a Cloudy Afternoon.

Tonight we are heading over our friends' house to have dinner and hang out for a while. December 10th isn't really a memorable date. But every year around this time of year things start to happen that give tiny moments like these a real feeling of warming. Today even, it was nearly 60 degrees at one point today and it made this brutal cold seem bearable. It's not safe to be outside during the darkest of winter. Cold brings out the worst in people, and overall it's hard to handle because it also brings out the despair in people. Merge the two together and you could be looking at a cold dark society which emerges in the spring jaded working every year to bring happiness into ones life only to suffer the cold dark winter the following year. Today i have hope though. Recently i was inspired after talking with people that care about me. The best part is... a renewed sense of hope can alter the mind in such a way... it's better than any drug or substance that you can use ...

No Sooner Did I Say....

 No sooner did i mention that I have a new job, was i laid off for excessive days off. It's really for the birds. Here i am a disabled person who wants to work... and I've had an incredibly hard time hold down a job this year. Whether it be manic episodes due to the medication my doctor put me on, or the company pulling a bait and switch and finding due to that I'm not qualified for the position, to being out sick a couple of days and getting let go... this year has been terrible. While I've had frequent thoughts of a permanent "Out" for myself from this life... it would seem like a waste to get from an unsuccessful suicide attempt in 2008 to giving it another go 17 years later. I feel like if i survived the first attempt... then i must be here on this planet for some reason so i need to make the best of my time. Even in poor health, an optimistic attitude can make the difference between healing or not.   I don't know what my plan is now. But, i know that ...
