Just an April Fool.

 Today is a good day. I am waiting for Katie to go to work so i can head down to my parents and bring my sister and her husband up to Logan. Katie leaves in about an hour so i have some time to kill. This past weekend was good. Overall, it was nice to have my sister in town. We hung out 2 out off the 3 days she was here. It's interesting being a DD. Generally when i go out... I go out alone so I'm the only one in charge of me. With that said, Having someone to hang out with instead of going out alone adds an interesting Dynamic to everything. While the paranoid thoughts associated with going out didn't diminish, they actually seemed somewhat amplified by the fact that i was now in charge of two other people's safety. Overall... it was a good time though.

I got my first unemployment check. Considering its an income source (small... but still an income). What it does is reinforce the fact that I have to start driving for Uber as soon as i get my car back from the Auto Body Shop. It also means that I can't be as picky as a may have liked in terms of getting my next job. I should be able to make between $1,000 - $1,500 per week from Uber which is close to what i was making at my last job. So that should get us by for a few months until i can find something. I'm also thinking about publishing the book that i had written last month. It needs minor editing... as well as a prologue... but i think i should be able to post it on Amazon by the end of the week. It's only about 80 pages right now. But 80 pages might be the start of something great. Maybe i'll have a new career writing books and stay out of the IT industry for the foreseeable future. There's a lot of possibilities for future work / income. So we'll see what happens. 

My mind is a little scattered this morning. But i'll be on track soon enough.

Write more later.

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 ...
