Day 10: Zero Alcohol

 It's Tuesday morning. I didn't end up writing yesterday because when i started to write... i got distracted and didn't manage to finish the entry. I am on vacation this week and overall it was a good day yesterday. Today i am hoping will be the same. 

Yesterday morning I took my car down to the VIN Check station in Cranston to have my car verified that it wasn't stolen. From there, i briefly went to Goddard Park and found that i could reschedule my DMV Reservation that was originally for today - to yesterday morning. By 11:00am i had the new plates for my car, and by noon the car had been registered with Uber so that i can resume driving as a sub-contractor again. Other than they yesterday was pretty uneventful. Today, I woke up originally around 7:30 but decided to sleep in until about 10. The only thing on my agenda today is to go get a physical. It's at 4:30pm in Warwick. 

My wife should be home from work in about 2 hours. She is house sitting for a friend at the end of the week. It's kinda crappy that the last few days of my vacation she would be gone, but at the same time she's being a good friend so i can't fault her. On the agenda for me for the rest of the week is taking my father out for Pizza tomorrow and visiting my Uncle's pool and going to see Hadestown at the Movies with my wife on Thursday. Then, Thursday night she is out of here for a few days. My goal is, atleast for Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, is to begin Uber driving around 8pm and go until midnight. I'm curious to see how much money i could potentially earn by driving 12 hours. If the standard rate of $22 an hour average is still true... Then in theory between the three days i should be able to earn $264.... and that doesnt include if i end up Uber Driving during the day Saturday or Sunday. 

Once i return back to work, i am liking going to shoot for Friday nights between 8pm and 3am, Saturdays during the day between 4pm and 8pm, and sunday's from noon until 8pm. I figure that is 19 hours a week.... which should equal roughly $400 dollars.

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 ...
