There is an interesting pattern of two down days, and then an up day. But I'm not sure if that's an actual pattern, or just happens to be so in the randomness so far. I'm sitting here at the computer thinking that I should be doing something. But whenever I try to think of anything that I'm supposed to be doing my brain just flat lines. I'm sure that I'll be frustrated on Wednesday when I go to work that I didn't get that “one thing” done, but I just can't think of anything that I'm supposed to be doing. I was talking with Chat GPT and it seems to want me to set up a scheduled transfer for a specific amount. I think I like my “Flowing Cu...

Days Without Beer 3

Felt 1,000% better today than I've felt this entire weekend. This is purely speculative but I really stopped feeling good after eating the Nathan's Hot Dogs two days in a row and then a rack of the Kansas City Style Bake in Bag Ribs. And I'm sure that the Michelob Ultra didn't help much.

My guess is that I had a reaction to the processed meat in the hot dogs and the “seasonings” on the “Bake in Bag” ribs might have stuff in them that break ketosis. Sure a “Serving” of those ribs might be fine, but I didn't eat “a serving” of that rack of ribs.” and had a hell of a lot more than “a serving” of the Michelob Ultra on Friday. So let's see according to the can there's 2.6 grams of carbohydrates per 12oz can of Michelob Ultra and I drank a 24 pack. That's 62.4 grams of carbs in just the beer plus what ever goes into the seasonings on the ribs. Along with the effects of drinking an entire 24 case of beer. Researching the effects of alcohol and Ketosis is definitely going on my “To Do” list because there is a lot of reading involved there.

Woke up this morning without ANY of the muscle, leg, or feet pain that I've been hobbling around with for the last couple of days. Legs are stiff in the way that I don't get much practice running and do much stretching, not in the way that it feels like I'm walking around on stilts like they have been in the last couple of days. Woke up really well rested today. Brain is running a thousand miles an hour. When I get to the doctor I will talk to him about ADHD because I am glad that today I'm scheduled to work a little bit later than I am normally scheduled to work. (having a hard time writing that sentence in a way that make sense) but I'm sitting here at the computer thinking, “Oh, I'm going to work on my blog, wait lets see what Reddit is doing, hey, let me refresh twitter, I have a notification that someone I'm subscribed to on YouTube uploaded, lets work on the budget spreadsheet.” Brain wants to do a thousand different things at the same time and my hands just can't seem to catch up. This is a fun feeling, for now, the thing is when I look back at the day I have idea that I'm going to get frustrated because I was thinking of the thousands of different things I wanted to do, but didn't get any of them done. The question is, is this another thing that the the doctors just hand you another, “Happy Pill” and say have fun and good luck?

Everybody at work seems to be in a mood. It's another one of those days where I'm having a hard time because I'm running at a thousand miles an hour, but everybody else doesn't seem to know what their feet are. Half hour lunches suck. I live ten minutes away from the store so by the time I drive home I almost have to turn right around and drive back. But I've learned that getting out of the store during the lunch break is a really good thing to do. And I had a couple of things to do here back at home.

Second half of work was a lot more down than the first half. I'm not sure if it was the coffee wearing off or what, but as I was driving back to work it felt like I was deflating. I really really didn't want to be there. It's the week of Thanksgiving at a grocery store there's only so many times that you can be asked, “Why is it so busy” in a day in the week of Thanksgiving. And working with these teenagers is getting really exhausting. But on the good side one of the girls that I work with thought I was a streamer and when I corrected her on what I did on YouTube she subscribed to my channel. I'm not overexcited about that person specifically (she is a minor) but she seemed to be kind of excited to see the content on my channel when she looked it up on her phone. So hopefully she'll be another subscriber who will add to my watch time. Which are the two statistics that are keeping me from doing the dream job. 

On the way home I was thinking of cooking one of the steaks that I have in the fridge at home. And I kept thinking that Mac and Cheese would go really good with one of the beef steaks that I have in the fridge, but that would be antithetical to the semi-carnivore diet that I've been thinking of switching to. 

There was some Rib eye roasts sitting in the meat cooler and I asked the meat guy working tonight if those could be cut into steaks (I wasn't expecting or asking him to cut meat that late at night) he didn't think that they could be because those roasts had the meat partially cut from the bone so people could add more seasoning in between the meat and bone before roasting it. I was hoping that the roasts could be cut into steaks because the pork butts that are in the meat department could be cut into steaks. But I guess that they aren't expecting people to cut the beef roasts into steaks. I didn't buy any more meat this evening because my freezer is already overfull and I'm sure that I'm already over budget on groceries. But I am looking to buy more meat.
