Tossing the Match at the End of the Bridge

There's been a lot that's happened since the end of October. One thing of note has been the downfall of my friendship with my roommate.  His alcoholism led to a rather troubled night in early November and as a result of that I have decided to move. I get the keys to the place on Tuesday. Sight unseen due to the Covid pandemic. It makes me a bit nervous wondering exactly what it is that i am moving into. But I'm cautiously optimistic to final feel like I'm reaching the end of a bridge which i got on a few years back when I initially became unhealthy due to my medication not being correct. The area i am moving into is nice. Away from the problems in the city. More so situated in the suburbs. Not to far from my favorite spots... but at the same time far enough away that my troubles wont haunt me. As for the roommate.... I do feel a bit of guilt leaving him to his own devices. Will he find peace... or will he continue troubled in his alcoholism until he has nothing left. I really don't know. Things with the woman are good. We make a year next week and that makes me happy. It seems like old memories of trauma and heart ache have been replaced with light hearted fun.  Work is trying these days. I don't the same mind i used to have... and it makes routine chores and tasks rather difficult. Its the things that happen every day that make it rather troublesome. I am hoping that once my daily routine is better... then work will get better. I always found that when my home life wasn't such a wreck... that was the time when i did best at work. I have a lot of goals over the next 12 months.  And i am thinking that things will get worked out somewhat good by the end of next year. 

Goals for 2021

1.) Quit Smoking

2.) Begin an exercise routine that is healthy and sustainable

3.) Begin a diet which falls in line with my picky eating but is also healthy and easy to maintain

4.) Begin a savings plan which is simple and easy to maintain - while also not being overly ambitious

5.) Begin a new hobby or project and see it through over the course of the year

6.) Complete my A+ Certification Exams.

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 ...
