Now time for something greater.

 The weather had been nice this past week. It motivated me to get outside more. During my working hours I took two breaks or so to get out of the house and walk around the building. This made me feel better throughout the day. And Thursday and Friday of this past week Katie and I had gone walking on my Lunch break. Not really anywhere super far. But it assisted with keeping me in a positive mood for the rest of the day. Yesterday Katie and I went for a walk down at Goddard Park. It was about a mile and a half through some woods and i enjoyed it. It was a great first start to getting more active. Earlier today Katie suggested we go to the gym tonight. I hope that we do actually make it there. I would like to start the week on a good note. 

At 10:42am i put on a nicotine patch and threw away the last of my cigarettes. I'm planning on this being a successful attempt at quitting smoking. I need to buy one more box of Nicotine Step one patches, But i am not going to do that until I run out of the ones i already have. It's either that, or i start the step 2 patches earlier than recommended by the program. I do have additional step 2 patches outside the two weeks that is recommended... so it might be worth while for me to do that instead.  I'll decide when i get there i suppose.

This coming week at work should be productive. I know my work load is steady. I am hoping that at the company meeting i dont get called back into the office. It's about 2 weeks away so nothing will change for that long atleast, But i do prefer to work from home now that i've been doing it for 1+ month. I was a litlle nervous at the onset. But those fears have calmed down now. I do prefer working from home, but i'll do whatever the boss requires.

That's 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 ...
