The last few days of August.

 This year had basically been chaotic for me. Between Me losing and getting a new job to Katie going out on TDI and quitting her job. The only thing that really stayed constant was the apartment. Nothing wrong with that I suppose.  

In Recent developments... I got my teeth and eyes checked out for the first time in about 10 years. I didn't have any cavities (Which pissed off Katie). But I did require a root and scaling procedure. As for My vision.. I could have probably spent 10 dollars on readers rather than going with the prescription... But I at least know why my eyes are as bad as they are. Apparently when I was a kid... I was suppose to wear an eye patch to correct a lazy eye. But it never happened because the doctors back then thought that I needed glasses which I never really ended up wearing. Well... hear I am 30 years later and I need glasses. I'm not bitching about it... I'm just making a general observation.

I recently heard about age spurts.. basically at 2 distinct ages the body rapidly ages. I haven't hit either of the ages yet... so I'm hoping that I can reverse the damage or prevent further decay when I get to the first age. I mean... there's a reason some 50 year olds look great. And it's probably because when they hit the first age... they weren't intentionally poisoning themselves from vices. 

I think I have a good idea for savings. Right now I have a change jar that I put my change in whenever I end up with it. When the change jar becomes completely full.... I'm going to exchange the money and Trade it in for a silver coin. The price of silver is roughly 30 bucks with maybe a 1 or 2 dollar increase over spot. But I figure if I can change in my change and purchase a few silver coins... it would be a good way to keep saving... but also convert the change into a better form of savings. It's just a thought... but maybe one day I'll have enough for a gold coin. 

I'm still working on turning the gym into a routine. I'm trying to figure out if the best course of action is to a.) go immediately from work to the gym, or b.) stop home first, eat dinner, then go to the gym. I'm not really sure. But I do know that 3 days on 1 day off is a good routine. Basically... there is three rows of weight training machines... I do between 15 - 45 minutes of cardio... then work the 4 or 5 machines for each row... do that 3 days in a row... and I hit all of the Machines at the gym... and I get between 45 minutes and 135 minutes of cardio. Then rest day... and repeat. 

That's all I have for now. I'll be writing more when I get a chance throughout the week.

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 ...
