I didn't have time again to have any coffee. I did have time to cook a couple of the sausage patties and eggs. I don't know if there's a whole lot of time difference in cooking the sausage patties or cooking bacon. But I figured that the sausage was quicker. I only managed to finish eating before I had to run out of the door. I was in the desk for the majority of the day. There were some moments of frustration as people seemed to be in a rush so a lot of people would quickly ye...

    Didn't wake up in time to cook the pizza casserole, but it's not going anywhere anytime soon. I'm really starting so see that spending my days off cooking is the thing to do. Last night was strange. I was just so damned wiped out after work I couldn't do anything. And that was even before I cooked the Velveeta dinner so I couldn't even blame it on the carbs in that.

    I even woke up this morning tired. That might be the carbs from dinner last night, but I did stay up later than I should have. I had a hard time getting going this morning. Feet and legs did feel rough this morning. I even slept in too long to have any coffee. I did have a couple of energy shots over the day. I would NOT recommended the watermelon flavored one. That one was just nasty.

    Had a reminder of a depressing thought that came into my mind today. Nothing really triggered it, it's just a thought of something that just kind of pops into my head every once and awhile. Kind of makes me wonder if depressing thoughts come in more frequently when depressed or if depressing thoughts bring in depression. Several years ago right before Christmas I was playing Pokemon Go and caught a Pikachu wearing a Santa hat. I thought it was kind of cute so I took a screenshot of it and shared it on Facebook. And immediately as I shared that my siblings also shared several pictures. They were all unrelated so they weren't connected in any way it was just a moment when all four of us just happened to share a Facebook post. My older sister shared a picture of her report card that was all A's for the semester, my younger sister shared a picture of her at her graduation, my brother's wife shared a picture of their 3 wonderful children and I...shared a picture of a pikachu wearing a hat. The other members of my generation are growing and living, and I...shared a picture of a video game mouse...wearing a hat. All I do is survive. I just wish that I can get past that feeling of just surviving. I don't want to 'not' survive. I just never feel like I get past that feeling that I can't make progress on anything. This post wasn't a, “woe is me” It isn't something I want anyone to feel sorry for me about. I'm just trying to voice a dark thought that popped up a while ago and just brings me down whenever it comes back. I am happy that my siblings are finding progress in their lives, I just wish I can find some in mine.

    My mom suggested that I get more exercise and that might help with the depression that I've been dealing with lately. I do agree that I need more exercise. (and with how many times I had to get spell check to get that word spelled correctly it does seem that way. Also kind of funny how I can spell “Pikachu” just fine but I have to try two or three times to spell egcorsize) She said that she's inspired by my posts and she might rejoin her gym. She calls her gym “The Purple Dragon” as the gym colors are purple and yellow. Exercise is well known to help with many mental health issues. To be honest I don't know all of the connections there, but I do know that there is a connection there. But like the God I believe in I believe that health is represented in a trinity: Body, Mind, and Spirit. If you're suffering on one it'll bring the others down. I've never focused on exercise very much. I don't have the money or time to join a gym. (of course you'll always find money and time to do the things that you want to do) And I'm walking around for the better part of nine hours a day so I never put much thought in more exercise. I do have some 15lb (6.8 kg) hand weights around here somewhere that I could probably get out and start curling on.

Also had a headache all day, but haven't been drinking as much water as I should have been over the last couple of days. That also seems to effect mental health. But probably not as much as exercise
