Trying really hard to write today. Not feeling bad, or “down” just really, really tired. I'm blaming the weather. It was pretty dark and gloomy today. Heck if it were about 50 degrees (10 C) warmer it would be my favorite kind of weather. But this weather where even just going outside hurts just sucks.
I was feeling Okay before lunch, but when I came home and sat down, I sat all of the way down. I really just wanted to go to bed.
My sister came by the store to get my tax documents shes going to help me and file my Tax Returns for me. It's fun to think of all of the fun things that I could buy when the returns...er...return. But honestly I just need to build up my savings accounts. I might buy a new 3D printer and or an Air Fryer. But that's all I want to buy. The rest is going to go to savings.
Quitting the energy drinks seems to be harder than quitting the beer. I did pick up a Celsius Energy because my eyes were starting to feel itchy and burning so I decided that I needed to take some allergy medicine. It is quite blustery out there today and there's not a whole lot of polite words to describe the “highs” for next week. But I'm pretty sure that my allergies start acting up when the weather is about to change. That, or I'm having some wishful thinking.
Lunch was a serving of Italian Sausage Spinach Soup. This serving didn't seem as spicy as other servings. Or maybe as it was so cold I was wanting something with a bit more spice in it.
But I do have to wonder if the energy drink that I had before lunch made me more tired this afternoon. As energy drinks don't actually give you energy, they just block the “tired chemical” receivers in your brain. I'm guessing that the energy drink wore off and I just flat lined for the rest of the day. I did pick up another Celsius in the second half of the day, but it didn't have an effect.
A coworker asked me what was going on with my hands. I told her that I'm pretty sure that it's just dry skin, but it is concerning because I don't remember ever having this problem. She then asked me if it happens often. I repeated that this hasn't been an issue before. She asked me what was going on. I told her that I think it's just winter giving me dry skin and my lotion is an older bottle so I might be having a reaction to the older bottle of lotion. She asked me if that is what usually happens. I told her that this DOESN'T usually happen. These are the conversations that I get into. People will ask me a question, I'll answer their question. And they'll ask me the question again. Sometimes if I feel playful I'll just answer their question like they've asked me it the first time. Nobody gets why I start chuckling. A lot of people ask me why I am saying the exact same thing over and over and over again. I tell them that they're asking the same question, sometimes they rephrase the question. But a lot of times people will ask the same question over, and over, and over. But back on topic I've been wearing latex gloves to bed and in the morning and first half of the day my hands are feeling okay, but as the day goes on the symptoms come back. She asked me, in a couple of ways, if I've talked to a doctor. I have not yet spoken to a doctor as I'm pretty sure that it's just dry skin. I'm thinking that I'm going to pick up a new bottle of lotion on Tuesday when I do my grocery shopping. If it doesn't clear up when it warms up outside I'll bring it up to my doctor after I get to the 30 days of Keto.
For dinner I used the George Foreman grill to cook up some pork chops. These were flavored pork chops that they had at the store. I bought them on Tuesday. They were labeled Garlic Melody flavored pork chops. I picked up a bag of salad to go with the pork chops. I didn't get any salad dressing because I thought I already had some because every time I think about having a salad I pick up another bottle of dressing. But I guess I should have gotten a bottle this evening. Oh well, that ranch dressing that I like is basically just flavored vegetable oil.
And hey hey, two months sober. I'm a bit worried if I'm going to keep it up when Roommate goes back to work. As there have been days that I've caught myself staring at the beer cooler and was able to walk away because I didn't want to justify it to him. I know that he wouldn't judge, but I would feel like I'd have to explain myself.
