I went ahead and paid off the remaining four months of the car insurances and re-balanced my budget to hopefully have that budgeted to be paid off all at once in the six month sections. It is cheaper to pay it off all at once. It was just last year right after I had paid off the first six month section my car's oil pressure sensor decided to crap out and I had to pay an extra $455 dollars right after I had paid off the monthly bills and bought a 3D printer. I'm going to be quite a bit more careful this year with the returns and I'm going to be loading up the saving accounts like I was wa...

Decaffeination Day 6

Decaffeination Day 6
Weight: 335.0 lbs
Waist: 55 inches


wow, that was a hell of a drop in weight for a single day. But than again I haven't been drinking the water I wanted to be drinking. I wont make too many excuses for a eight pound drop in a single day though.
I was talking with a co-worker. And the last two weeks have NOT been normal. We've been having giant swarms of people checking out with massive cartloads of groceries. And nobody seems to be showing up for work. What few people are scheduled to be there anyway. Everyday for the last week and a half I've arrived at work and the entire schedule for the day is in the process of being reworked because one person called in, another no called no showed, and one more is scheduled to be at another store altogether. They say that this is a particularly bad flu season, but goddamn people, this can't go on like this much longer.
I'm seriously wondering how much caffeine effects the mind. Are those little 5 hour energy shots magic elixirs that just make human behavior make sense? It reminds me of the episode of the Simpsons when Homer quit drinking and discovered how boring Baseball was. But for me I'm seeing the insanity of the people.
I didn't have to work yesterday and I didn't work until later this afternoon and I have to say that the two full eight hour nights of sleep really did help me mentally. I have noticed that I sleep about eight hours naturally (when I don't need to be awoken by an alarm clock) I've never really had trouble sleeping before, but there is a definite difference between now and before when I was drinking caffeine all day. But right now I am very tired, and I have to work in the morning.
