Today is a good day, Right?

 It's a little after 12:15pm. I've over heating to the fullest extent possible. I have all of the windows open in the apartment, hoping that would cool me off but sadly it seems to have had the opposite effect. I don't know if it's because it's raining.. or if its just my body chemistry... But I feel warm in the face, and cold to the touch. 

This past week I made a real push to get my time up to the 80% that they are requesting of us. I finished the week at 81% which is good. At a meeting we had last Monday they indicated that the bonus program may be coming back, So that is good incentive for me to complete my tasks and mark all of my time. In reality I should be finishing the week between 90% and 100%. The gaps would be any meetings that i have during the day. 

I met with my new med manager on Wednesday. She stated that we had met before but for the life of me I don't remember it. She got my general background information and prescribed me something for Anxiety as I have been having a rough go of it at work since I returned to the office. The meds seemed to be really effective when I took them Thursday... but that might have been placebo because when I took them Friday they had less of an effect. I've taken them this weekend... and have had no real issues so far. I guess the trick will be on Monday when I return to the office. 

Friday night Katie and I went to go see batman. Good movie. Long but it doesn't feel that way.  Highly recommend it.

Today i went out to breakfast with my parents. Afterwards i went and i got a couple pairs of jeans... as well as a new belt. My old one was damaged. I got home a little while ago and started cleaning. Got most of the house all set. Now i just need to do laundry. Katie will be home in about 2 hours. Im hoping we can go for a walk when she gets home if she's not too tired. In the meantime, i'm gonna read and listen to some music. 


Thats 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 ...
