The new addition.

Two days ago my girlfriend found out that there were three kittens in her friends yard that appeared to have been abandoned by their mother. She had planned on going Friday to check on the kittens and take them home providing they were in good health and didn't look sick. Overnight one of the kittens had died so we went to her friends house to pick up the kittens. One is grey with a white patch and the other looks like a Mainecoon mix. My girlfriend isn't allowed to have cats at her apartment because her roommate is allergic... and her friend couldn't keep the them... So I now I two super tiny kittens. I was worried originally when my girlfriend said she wanted a cat because in the state that i'm in I don't know if I am stable enough to care for another life form. Now I have two life forms to take care of.

They're cute though... Ones a poof ball. They are both Male and they are named Macha (Poof) and Ash. Last night was a little tough because it was their first night with us and I was worried they may not have made it through the night. Luckily they did. We moved the bed into the spare room (My roommate hasn't moved in yet) and laid with them there. Around Four AM Macha had started crying. He was in a corner of the room and looked afraid. I was up for a couple of hours and then went back to bed. Today I moved everything into my room. They have been exploring the room when i'm not in it.. and generally hiding under my dresser. They are using the bathroom and they aren't meowing as much today. I fed them around 10 this morning and plan on feeding them again around 7. For now im planning on a 12 hour feeding schedule.

Speaking of food... I'm wondering what I should eat today for dinner. I don't have much in the house. I might stop at burger king before I go to pickup my girlfriend tonight. I think my roommate is moving in tomorrow afternoon. He is gonna need help with the bed and computer desk. My girlfriend is working at 4 again tomorrow... So hopefully it all gets done ok. The house is just about together. I have a few things in storage which I still got to pick up. I hung my art work today.. and picked up some suppies for the kitchen and bathroom. I always find that the art helps make the place feel like home... even if its only a year that im going to be living here.

I switched the utilities into my name today.. and I have an appointment for the internet to be installed on the 13th. On the 12th I have a vet exam to make sure the kittens are doing ok and don't have any problems (They were strays after all). I am hoping that within a month I can switch them onto dry food.

Thats about 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 ...
