Great number on the scale this morning. A new record over the last 12 years. Only 16.5 lbs (7.5 kg) away from the lowest weight on record. Saying “Only” in that context seems silly writing it out, but so far I'm down 18 lbs (8.2 kg) since the beginning of the year and down 28.7 lbs (13 kg) from this day last year. I'm making some rocking progress on the scale, but I seemed to have lost the tape measure again so I'm not sure how the waistline is doing. I just carried over the number as that isn't a very dynamic number. I still would like to find it so I can measure properly.

I worked 9-6 today so I was going to try to wake up early, but I just couldn't crawl out of bed until almost the regular 8am. I did have time to cook breakfast and have a cup of coffee. I was going to cook Sausage Patties and eggs this morning, but I was taking too long wrestling with the packaging on the sausages and figured that the bag of bacon was already open so I switched to the regular bacon and eggs.

Since I did work earlier than regular I ran out of the door, forgetting the bratwursts that I had baked the other day for lunch. So I just had some Johnsonville Smoked Sausages for lunch (not sponsored) with some pork rinds. I also picked up one of the 1.25L bottles of Coke Zero (not sponsored) I had eaten most of the bag of pork rinds when I realized that it was just about time to clock back in so I chugged most of the bottle of coke before clocking back in. That was not a wise idea as it felt like a wrecking ball coming out of my gut. Followed by some good sized belches. But that was not fun coming back from lunch.

I don't want to complain about work today as it was another, “easy money” day as I was in the service desk all day. However is was kind of too easy as I was kind of stuck in the service desk for most of the day. As I was the only one in the desk for a good chunk of the day there really wasn't anything that I could do as it kept getting more and more busy. I can't really close down the desk to open a register. I did have to keep reminding myself that it was a Thursday as the rush did feel like the Four Times Friday Fuel Point (Not Sponsored) rush.

When I got home Mom was preparing some Meatballs in Onion Gravy. I'm pretty sure that makes them Swedish Meatballs but these meatballs were bigger than the pictures on Google (But then again she does like AC/DC). I've never had much luck with cooking meatballs myself. I'm just too impatient to let them set and cook. Mom had some egg noodles with her meatballs, I just ate my helping with the gravy. Mom was nice enough to put some of the leftovers in a lunchbox for me. So tomorrow I'll have to decide between the bratwursts and the meatballs for lunch. Not the worst decision that anybody has ever had to have faced. 

I got an email from Vidiq which is a service that is supposed to give you ideas and tips to help grow your YouTube channel. It suggested to turn on "Audio Mixing" so other people can make AI shorts using the videos that I make. Holy crap why the heck would I let that be a thing?!

Big steaming pile of not happening on that.

If other people want to make AI shorts, whatever. But make them make their own videos. There's no reason for them to use my videos to do that.

It doesn't say anything about how it would benefit my channel, just that it'd let other channels steal my content.

I'm not too sure if the content is worth arguing over, but it's mine. I wrote it, I recorded it, I edited it, I posted it. Why should another channel then get to take it and make their own videos out of it?
