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...

Weight is a little up from yesterday. But I'm blaming that on the jalapeno sausages that I had for lunch yesterday. It's a bit annoying, but I'm not going to let it get to me. Because I'm sure that it's just a minor temporary bump.

This morning I did start editing the video that I want to upload for Tuesday. It really isn't a difficult or very long video I just can't seem to find the time to work on it.

There's another thing to add to the list of reasons that I'm glad I'm done drinking. Before I went to work this morning my Grandma sent me a message that her hallway light seemed to be burnt out and asked me if I was willing to come over and change the bulb. I replied that I would be willing to come over during my lunch break to help her with that. She said that if there would be too much of a rush to come over she could ask my uncle to come over...if he wasn't drinking. I would love to be the guy that is there. Someone who could be counted on if someone needs help, I'm the one to call. I would hate it if someone was wanting to count on me for something, but sorry I'm too toasted to do anything about it.

Grandma sent me a message asking me if I had been out to fix her light because it had mysteriously came back on. I hadn't been over to her house yet. But during my lunch break I came by and poked at the light. It seemed to be working. And the switches also seemed to be working fine so I don't know why it would seem to be burned out, and then come back on. She did mention talking to an electrician, and that does sound like a good idea. If lights are randomly turning off and on it might be a good idea for a professional to check it out. If it's nothing, she's just helping the local economy, if it's something she avoids burning down her house.

Mom lives across the street from Grandma so after I looked at her lights I stopped in to say Hi to mom. I was going to bring over my veggie scraps for her composting and her worms that she has, but I had forgotten to grab the bag on the way out the door this morning. She is concerned for her brother (my uncle) However it seems like he's in a situation that he's going to have to pull himself out of. He's going to AA meetings, but he's still drinking. I don't know enough of his personal issues, or AA to judge, but it would seem to defeat the purpose to go to meetings if you're still going to drink. But again, that's up to him.

I was amazingly energized after lunch. I don't know if it was the talking with family members, the amazing weather that we had this afternoon, or maybe the fact that I was able to get out and drive rather quickly during my lunch break. But when I got back from lunch I was on cloud nine. I felt like I was bouncing around. I'm going to bet that tomorrow's weigh in is going to be up again because I had grabbed another pack of the jalapeno cheddar sausages for lunch.

For dinner I grilled up some hamburger patties. It took some self control to talk myself out of picking up some steaks. As I was REALLY wanting some steaks for dinner. But I already had the burger patties thawing in the fridge and it would be unfortunate if they went bad because I bought more food on top of the food I already bought because I was in the mood for food that I haven't bought yet. 

My knees aren't sore or anything but this evening I noticed strange swelling around the kneecaps. Particularly when I hold my legs straight but not when I'm standing.
