I realized that it was getting kind of late so I should wrap up the blog post. But then I saw that I hadn't even opened any of the programs today. I could have sworn that I was staring at them all day. Now I'm trying to think of how much I remembered from today was actually yesterday. I really wasn't wanting to go back to work Sunday, but it might not be a bad idea.  I do know that I was pretty excited this morning as it was the payday that I was planning on transferring money from Bill Savings to pay off the credit card and transferring money into the House Savings. I spent a little bit more on the credit car...

I have to say that there aren't a whole lot of polite words to describe the last couple of boss fights in that game. The level design isn't that great so I had to constantly pause the game to go watch a YouTube play through of the game to see where I was supposed to go next. There aren't any quest markers or objective lists or heck the majority of the time there aren't even any other characters that tell you what is going on. I'm all for environmental story telling. There are better ways to tell a player what's going on other than a narrator exposition dumping on you. But there is nothing telling you what you're do...

Weight: 304.6 lbs ( 138.2 kg) BMI: 39.1 Waist: 51 in ( 128.3 cm) WtHr: 68.9% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: No Bean Chili  Hot Dogs Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 634) Keto Month 6 (Day 203) (246/365 Days 2026 Keto) I didn't get the post done last night (Saturday) as I had worked later than usual and by the time I had “recovered” from work it was too late to write a post. I did try to read a little bit. Read the chapter where Oliver Twist made his way to London. Which was kind of interesting because I had always thought that the entire book took place in London. Charles Dickens had obscured the starting city so I had just assumed that London was where he started out at. But it took Oliver a couple of days of walking to get there. And I just read that one chapter and when he got to London he was found by another kid who I'm assuming is one of the thieves that the story is known for recruiting little Oliver. I am o...

Weight: 303.1 lbs ( 137.5 kg) BMI: 38.9 Waist: 50.5 in ( 128.3 cm) WtHr: 68.2% Breakfast: Sausage Patties, Cheese, and Eggs Lunch: No Bean Chili Cottage cheese Dinner: Pork Steak cooked in Onions and Peppers Drinks: Monster, Sparkling Water, Celsius Energy Sober Year 1 (Day 632) Keto Month 6 (Day 201) (246/365 Days 2026 Keto) I worked 9am to 6pm today so I set some alarms to wake myself up as I usually wake up at 8am and if I woke up normally I would have to jump up and run out of the door. 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...

I did have time to shower and cook breakfast, but didn't have time to have coffee. I was in the desk for most of the day. Which I was glad for as it got quite warm again today. It looks like next week is going to all be in the mid to upper 70's which I'm looking forward to. I'm am VERY over these 100+ degree (38+ C) days. It is kind of fun how the first day of fall is this coming Tuesday and it looks like the weather is on a switch to fall like weather of 77 (25 C) and cloudy for most of the week. It was kind of frustrating working the desk as I'm still training a new guy. I'...

It was still close to 10 by the time I showered and started cooking breakfast. I got the chili cooked and the various foods vacuum sealed and put away. I ran into town to pay off the storage fee for the month. I had a strange feeling when driving away from the storage place. It doesn't feel like five months. Every time I pay the monthly storage fee it feels like a couple of days ago. As I was in town anyway I ran by the store to grab some cheese to go in the chili. When I got to the store a lady in a white Lincoln that looked a lot like my Grandma's car. The lady was upset that her car door wasn't opening. I don't kno...
