Really good weight this morning. Not quite a record for the year, but not far off. Spent a lot of time this morning re-balancing the budget as General Savings had reached the “Full” goal. It's really exciting to reach “Full” on any of the savings accounts without it needing to immediately be needed. I needed to balance things out as since it was full and I don't need to add or remove anything from General Savings I deleted all of the reminders in Quicken of the transfers into General Savings. Now if I can only get Bill Savings and ...

Keto Day 0

Got home from work last night and my brain just kind of turned off. I was scheduled to work 12 to 9pm last night and when I got home I just kind of sat down and shut down for a while. By the time I recovered and started writing the blog out it was too late to post. Of course there's nothing to say that I couldn't post after Midnight. But it just doesn't feel right.

I've been in a really negative mood recently. Not even in the “Mark Whines About Work” way. Not sure how to explain it, I was in a really heavy “don't wanna to” mood over the last couple of days. I've recovered from that sinus crap that I had last week. But mentally I just really DON'T WANT to do anything.

Do I want to work on scripts for videos that I'm going to start doing again next month? Meh.

Do I want to play any of the games that I have on my computer? Meh.

Do I want to watch videos of people I follow online? Meh.

I just can't seem to find the give a damn to do anything.

Seasonal Effective Depression maybe? I don't know. But diet will help with that. Working out would help with that as well, but I can't afford to go back to the YMCA just yet. Maybe next year.

I've been planning on getting back to the Ketovore diet. Ketovore is a combination of Keto and Carnivore diets. I'll have bacon and eggs for breakfast, typically a soup or Keto friendly casserole for lunch, and then a meat for dinner. This week I picked up a large pack of Jumbo Jumbo Hot dogs as the last couple of weeks were Thanksgiving and the week after that Mom had a gathering at her house and it threw off the timing of a couple weeks of the plan so I had to come up with a short list of lunches for this week. I thought about waiting to get back to to the diet. But if I keep coming up with excuses to not get back to it, I'll never get back to it.

On Thursday the lady closing Customer Service accidentally printed off an extra Powerball Lottery Ticket that draws tonight, so if an asteroid strikes the planet tonight we'll know the answer to that investment

I was scheduled to work 10am to 7pm this evening. The first five hours I was actually the supervisor, but then I was on self checkout for three hours. I spent all day dreading running self checkout. I don't know how clear I've made my hatred of running self checkout. I tried to keep telling myself that I was just ramping myself up against it. The vast majority of people going through self checkout are just going through the register. I swear people heard me coming up with that thought and just threw down the gauntlet. I was getting dizzy and out of breath running around in circles trying to clear the various errors going off while other people yelled at me because their register was having errors and I DARED to clear other people's errors before THEIR error. 

One of the store managers came by and said I looked ragged "running around crazed like that" He told me he was leaving, but don't worry the Meat Manager will be the PIC tonight. Well, it wouldn't matter. I was able to stand still for a moment to tell him that I was running the self checkout by myself for three hours and then I'll be out of there if they were wanting me to do any managerial things, I'm sorry. It's just not going to happen. 

I was going to get back to the Keto thing today. But running self checkout for three hours made me really "thirsty" I grabbed a case of NA beer on the way home. But that's not very Ketogenic. But at least I'm not going all of the way back to the "daily blog post"
