And the filter isn't due to be changed until the end of the year, but it's good to have those in on time. I bought a four pack so the entire year's filters are bought and paid for, for the next year. Brain was kind of autopilot today. I was scheduled Noon to 9pm this afternoon/evening. I covered the Self Checkout for an hour, then I was a carryout for an hour, I was supposed to be Supervisor for three hours, but the guy running the online pickup had me cover his lunch break for an hour. I was kind of concerned because there was a compilation of orders that...

Waist: 54 in (137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Tater Tot Casserole Dinner: Mississippi Roast Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Month 11 (Day 347) I woke up yesterday with a heavy case of the “don't wanna to's” I was just had no momentum to do anything. I did start getting things done later in the evening, but I didn't realize that it was that close to midnight when I was wrapping up the post for yesterday and it was 11:59 when I was done writing in the writing program that I use on my computer so I didn't have the time to post it. I'm not sure if it was because I was still recovering from the sinus issues that I was suffering from last week. I did manage to finish and schedule the upload of the Archive video that I'm planning on for the January Archive video. My second YouTube channel is focused on Recipe Videos and I'm re-uploading the old videos from my first channel to...

I am really glad that I got Grandmas lights and decorations set up over the last couple of days as it was really dark and cold today. I would like to say if it's going to be dark cold and clammy like this we might as well have snow. But then again it would suck to deal with the ice and crap. And that's not mentioning dealing with people flipping their shit because, “ICE FALL FROM SKY, ICE FALL FROM SKY!” Despite the cold cloudy weather people were really chill and relaxed for most of the day. Which was nice. There was one lady who freaked out at me because we can't sell beer on Sunday. She held up a twelve pack for me to scan. But...

Waist: 53.5 in (135.9 cm) WtHr: 72.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Prime Rib Thanksgiving @ Mom's Dinner: Macaroni Salad Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull Sober Month 11 (Day 344) Sinuses were really grumpy this morning. But whatever was going on with my sinuses seems to have started cleareding up early this afternoon. Which was a fascinating feeling. It felt like my head just kind of opened up. I still don't smell very good, but at least my head doesn't feel like it's splitting open. Had Thanksgiving round two at Mom's house this afternoon. But first I stopped by Grandma's house to swap out the burnt out bulbs on her Christmas lights. Last night she suggested that in the future she might invest in some light projectors so I wouldn't have to climb on top (strange that “ontop” isn't one word) of her house. Hanging out with the family reminds me how blessed we are that we...

I don't quite feel sick, it's just that whenever I bend down to pick anything up it feels like somebody smacked me with a 2x4 in the front of my face. When I woke up this morning and saw the weather I realized that there would be no better day to help Grandma setting up her Christmas decorations. I grabbed some Cold and Flu medicine on the way to Grandma's. Before I left the house I looked up the medicine on the store's website to see prices. I had to chuckle because there's only one review on that double pack of medicine. It's about half of the price as the name brand with the same active ingredients. What was funny about the review was that the medicine worked, but it tasted b...

I felt physically better by the evening. But people at work were pissing me off. Another instance of “What the hell is going on in our schools” a guy had a digital coupon for 2 litters of soda. (not sponsored) and was angry because he got 14 bottles of soda and they were supposed to be 99 cents with the digital coupon and he couldn't figure out why his total was twenty something dollars. Well, digital coupons are limit 5. And it took off the five bottles. He insisted that he knew it was limit five, that's why he got 14 of them. 14 is more than 5. He knew 14 is more than five, he works at a school. While I was trying to explain what the word “limit” meant to somebody who insisted ...

Some gunk in the back of my throat making my throat sore. Along with some sinus congestion. Ran out of bacon a couple of days ago so yesterday and today I had a pork steak for breakfast. I was going to have eggs to go with, but those steaks were pretty sizable so having a plate sized pork steak with four fried eggs seemed like a lot. I had just finished cooking the breakfast steak when Roommate came downstairs and announced that his doctors appointment this week is at 10am instead of the 11am it had been in the last couple of weeks and we needed to leave right then because it was just time to leave to get to his appointment. I put a lid on the skillet and since I have an electric stove the burner was still hot when I got back f...

I woke up this morning to a notification of a “Wind Advisory” on my phone we've been having wind gusts going up to 45 mph (72 kph) Back on Thanksgiving I told my Grandma that I was planning on putting up her Christmas decorations this coming Friday. She insisted that she did NOT want me up on her roof if the weather is bad. I thought about teasingly call her this morning and ask if I should go ahead and put them up today. With the 45 mph wind gusts. I know that she would have said no, but it would have been fun to mess with her. But I could just not wake up today. I had the regular bacon and eggs for breakfast. With breakfast I put a pack of Hot Chocolate...

My head feels like it was hit by a baseball bat from the inside. And my legs are stiff and sore. My throat was sore the last couple of days, it doesn't hurt this morning so I don't think that I'm getting sick, I just think that I overate yesterday and I'm recovering today. I wasn't looking forward to going to work this morning. I thought that I was working the self checkout lunch. I wasn't feeling good and I wasn't looking forward to dealing with other people who are also probably recovering from over eating yesterday. I knew that I feel bad, and I don't know if other people will realize that they feel bad and will try to blame everybody else for the way they feel...

So I don't know how much I weigh. I am off Thanksgiving so I bought some Hot Cocoa last night and woke up early this morning to try to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (not sponsored) but apparently you have to have an antenna to watch the broadcast on TV or have one of the various streaming subscriptions. I did find a couple of live streams of it playing, but it was just being filmed from somebody standing on the side of the street with a camera as the floats and balloons went by. It just didn't feel right. I did like the hot chocolate this morning. I microwaved some milk to make it this morning, but I think I'll put some in my coffee tomorrow morning. Appar...

Weight: 323.2 lbs ( 147.4 kg) BMI: 41.5 Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Baked Chicken   Dinner: Ham Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Month 11 (Day 334) Great number on the scale this morning. Especially since I had Chicken Alfredo for lunch the entire week last week. And the scale gave me the same number three times in a row, so it wasn't glitching. I was debating on whether to or not to try to go back to the AI to try to get it to do the financial projection again. But I looked over the code...none of the bills listed in the code that it generated were the bills that I had told it. I had listed the various bills I expect during the year four times over the last three weeks and it eventually just forgets the bills that I have in the projection and just makes up new bills. I figured that I was just trying to build a more flexible version of the Quicken program that I already have on my computer. (Not spo...

Weight: 325 lbs ( 147.4 kg) BMI: 41.7 Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Snack: Bar-S Hot Dogs Breakfast: Mexican Chicken Alfredo Lunch: leftover Hormel Pork Loin Dinner: Hamburger Helper Spicy Garlic Parmesan Drinks: Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull Sober Month 11 (Day 333) I didn't think that I would get to work on time this morning. I am typically scheduled to work 11am to 8pm. But this morning I was scheduled 7am to 4pm. Last night when I got off I had bought a Sugar Free Red Bull to put next to my bed so when the first alarm goes off I could slam that real quick, hoping that would help me wake up. I've read online that having multiple alarms to help you wake up is counterproductive (wow, can't believe I spelled that correctly the first time.) But I needed to make sure that I got to work. So I had set an alarm for every 15 minutes starting right at 6am. But yeah, I was able to wake up. But I didn't have time to get a proper breakfast so ...

I had spent the last couple of days with the Absolute Idiot trying to get it to do the projection correctly. It would look like it was doing the thing correctly and then I would notice that it didn't have the bills in the projection. And including the bills into the projection just broke everything. The main frustration was that I am using the free version of the site so I would have to do as much as it would let me do and then I would have to wait for the timer to reset, which would take several hours. It was starting to get kind of annoying as I would ask it to do something, it would ask for guidance on how it would ...
