bbbb blehging no no blogging.(part 2)

Then again, blogging un-medicated isn’t that much better!

Well the dentist visit went alright, you know, for getting a tooth ripped out and all. It wasn’t fun but not entirely too unpleasant either.

According to my junk scale, I have lost 9 pounds since starting my diet. I am off mountain dew and coca cola. While it has so far been impossible to stick to a completely organic diet, I have done pretty well. I have been eating healthier and following as many of the recommendations of The Makers Diet as I can. Honestly, a lot of the foods he recommends are quite good actually. There are some recipe’s in the book also that I want to try. Getting some of the ingredients has proven problematic as the local health food store is quite pricey.

The local chain stores carry some of the stuff, but wandering around them with all the garbage I am not allowed to have makes it quite an adventure. I want junk food, really really want it. But realizing that it is taking years off my already short time on this planet makes them somewhat less appealing.

I am just blathering again with no apparent goal in mind so I will sign off for now.

God bless,
Jeff A

Good gravy, it’s almost here!

Did you realize that there is only 29 more days till Christmas. I am so completely not ready for this. No decorations up yet, I don’t even have them out and untangled. I do have some presents but not nearly all of them. It’s times like this…

Our company Christmas party is this coming Saturday. I haven’t felt this combination of dread and loathing in a long time. I really need to find a job that I am capable of handling with my less than super health.

All I want for Christmas it to feel better. I won’t even ask for good, just better!

I Love Summer(not)

August 1, 2006 · Posted in Blog · 2 Comments 

It is hotter than a… well I can’t really say that and keep my family friendly rating now can I? Actually I may have blown that already!

But really, it is HOT. The humidity is making it even worse. If you pile on top of that the fact that I am no longer on my depression meds and it is a recipe for lethargy. I haven’t been doing much of anything except going to work and coming home and sleeping. I hate it when it gets like this.

I do have a doctors appointment for tomorrow so I can get to work on the meds part of it. I have to leave the rest up to nature on whether it cools down or not. The weatherman did assure me that it would ONLY be in the upper eighties on Thursday, well yippee ki-yay. It is so sad when they say upper eighties like it is a good thing!

I would love to post more but I am going to go have a lie down before work, well maybe I will. I also have more music to put on the mp3 player. I am just amazed at how much that little thing can hold!

Trailer park girls go round the outside.

Sorry that I have changed the look again in such a short period of time but I have discovered the joy of widgets. It makes the site easily customizable. I no longer have to hack into the code to add something all I have to do is drag and drop, awesome! The theme also allows me to change the colors on the fly with a simple click of the mouse. This allows me the freedom to add things quickly and to modify the look in seconds.

I have hit a slump in life that I am trying to crawl out of. I just don’t want to do anything now. It used to be that I just didn’t want to do the hard stuff but now I even have trouble convincing myself to eat something. I have been here before and it is mostly a matter of waiting it out. This usually passes in a day or two.

What I can’t figure out though is the insomnia. I like to sleep. Hell I would sleep all day if they would let me. Now my body won’t let me either. I have trouble falling asleep at night and when I finally do it is usually an hour before the alarm goes off. On those rare occasions when I get to sleep early I usually wake up several times throughout my sleep time which makes it less than restful.

Oh well, it’s always something isn’t it?

Whew, tough day

January 24, 2006 · Posted in Blog · 5 Comments 

I spent the entire day fighting the very very strong urge to smoke a cigarette. I haven’t wanted one this bad since the first day without. I’m not sure why but my will power is taking a beating right now and I may have to lock myself in a closet in order to get past this!

Day six (insert witty comment here)

December 27, 2005 · Posted in Blog · 6 Comments 

Day six was different. I had a few hard moments where I about sucked my lozenge straight down my throat but other than that…

I am finding it much easier to breath today but considering I am just coming off of bronchitis I’m not sure what to make of that. I really should blog the days as they happen since I am doing it a day behind it gets confusing.

For instance it is actually day seven now but I am talking about yesterday as though it was today. I left work early today(day seven) due to a severe headache, migraine, whatever. Working on my laptop from my bed right now since the screen doesn’t hurt my eyes. It is not very quiet here, better than work but still not enough.

I am off to search the web for photographic inspiration, wish me luck.
