Heading into my second day without cigarettes. The med I’m taking has me wean on to it slowly so I’m not at the max dose yet. So, I’ve been also chewing some nicotine gum to help alleviate urges. So far, so good. Haven’t had a cigarret for like 36 hours or so.
On another front, I’m really enjoying the DAZN (pronounced DAZONE) subscription. So far been watching old recent fights but have live events coming up tomorrow and a pay per view on Saturday. The yearly subscription for the premium service is pretty expensive but you are guaranteed at least 12 pay per views for free over the course of the year. Plus its less expensive than smoking. It really is a must have for true boxing fans.
I have about a zillion things I have to get done in the next couple months. I have to get my insurance switched over to the new state, Have to get a cholestorol test, Supposed to set up an appointment for working on my feet as they have developed several callouses, have to set up a colonoscopy, Have to set up my regular diabetes eye check. Need to get my new drivers license for my new state soon before mine expires. Need to get my plates and registration in the new state. Doc asked me to start taking logs for sugar levels again since I stopped using dexcom and on and on. I’m sure I missed some but there is a lot of stuff on my mind.
Have not been listing much new on Ebay but we have several things up there. We need to get back on that soon.
The quest for a new real job has stalled a bit, but it has been become much less urgent since the condo has sold.
Thats about it for me. Thanks for reading. What’s up with you?
well it’s payday for me and my wife…both…!! she gets hers in the mail I got mine direct deposited…she has to go to the bank and set up an account today…so very big day for us…she should get around 6 to 7 thousand dollars backpay …no more poverty…yayyyyy…other than that I plan on buying a backpacker guitar with the money she gives me for my side of the bills plus food and then saving the rest for a beginning balance on savings….yayyyy
Congrats @jukebox . I’m sure its a relief. Money worries can really be a drag on your mood. I know somewhat where your coming from, because we had that condo issue for many months. Similarly to you, our finances are looking brighter as well with the condo gone. The quitting smoking should help alot too.
Work kind of sucks lately, worse than usual. I’m the official guy who runs the Imop and the boss decided to crack down on getting the restroom floors clean so instead of just lightly going over the floors once a month which takes 3 hours to clean 8 restrooms, instead he’s having me scrub each floor spotless. They haven’t been done thoroughly in four years so there’s 4 years of caked on, ground in dirt on very floor. In those conditions it takes about 1 1/2 hours to clean one small restroom and about 3 hours to clean one of the larger restrooms floors. The machine is heavy and cleaning them good is a royal pain in the ass. I know that’s what I’ll be doing every day and I don’t look forward to going into work.
I started walking, I’ve walked three times in the last three weeks, not nearly enough but at least it’s a start. My weight loss has stalled, I can’t get below 244 lbs so I have a doctors appointment on the 7th to see if she’ll raise my dose of Mounjaro.
Tomorrow I get my injection and on the 10th I’ll see my nutritionist. I’ve been cleaning and rearranging my studio, I had two little sliding drawer boxes filled with office supplies and today I consolidated everything into one box and threw away about 30 pens, Saturday I’ll go to Goodwill and donate the smaller box.
They’re redoing the hallway floors so I was stuck inside all day, hopefully the workers will finish tomorrow so I can come and go freely again.
I’m trying to eat a Mediterranean Diet, I eat salmon and fish and vegetables and fruit and 100% whole wheat bread and I eliminated sweets from my diet except on rare occasions. I also eat non fat dairy. I still cook and I’ve been meaning to download and print out more recipes from BudgetBites.com. I ordered Hello Fresh meals for this coming week.
My sister came down from Oregon to take care of some business so I’ll probably go out to eat with her once or twice in the coming week.
This is a paragraph and it looks like a lot but my life is actually pretty uneventful most days, Work, spend time on the laptop and going to 2-4 appointments each month is pretty much my life.
It’s 5am. Gonna wait till 7 to watch the news. Have some coffee. Nothing big planned. Expecting a book today. Ordered some 1950s picture books for my mom. Trying to eat mostly vegetables. Need to do laundry. Don’t plan on leaving the house except to mail some bills. Read some philosophy. Gotta see my general practitioner doctor next week for my A1c. Keep having dreams that I get lost in a big city and different people just beat me to death, I’m unable to wakeup. It’s horrible. I look forward to being awake. Hope everyone has a good day.
Got back yesterday from Lancashire where it was my grandads funeral. We stayed 2 days and one night. Saw a lot of family I’ve not seen in years. It was sad but also nice in a way.
Did a food shop this morning.
Just chilling for the day now. My son’s dad is coming over soon to see them. Not taking them anywhere cos it will be heaving out and weather isn’t that good. So will be chilling in the house.
It’s good Friday today so I thought I would try fasting and pray for healing…. Who knows what could happen. I’ve also cleaned my house and done the food shopping. My daughter comes back to me on Monday and then we go on holiday!
thats awesome, very nice of you! enjoy the terimisu
