New (to us) Car!!!! in Life in General
We bought a ‘22 Hyundai Tucson yesterday! I was sitting at my computer recently and thought to myself “Wait I haven’t really checked the car market north of us. What’s out there?” In my defense, ...
Lawyer Up in Life in General
Welp, I’ve hired my first lawyer ever. Specifically, Jessica hired a lawyer that I found. The insurance has been a total douche situation so far and I have been getting really frustrated. They ke...
Wrecks in Life in General
Jessica got in a wreck yesterday. Specifically, someone rear ended her after she left work and was going to the dentist. She did say that she had to slow down quickly because she almost missed he...
ER Visits in Life in General
So I have kind of hit a stride with my stomach pain issues. My doctor put me on a statin to potentially help ease the strain on the gallbladder until I see the GI (still 3 weeks out ugh). Honestl...
Possible Eureka? in Life in General
I may have discovered at least part of the cause to my recent stomach issues. A bit more on recent developments though. I did end up going to the ER one day because the pain was starting to creep...
More Health Issues in Life in General
About 2 weeks ago I went to the doctor for my continuing stomach issues and she got me a new cocktail of medicine to try. I’m surprised they haven’t tried to refer to me a GI for a scan or anythi...
Stomach Pain in Life in General
I have a new thing I’m getting to worry about health-wise. Stomach pain. It’s in my upper stomach (above the belly button) and seems to get worse throughout day. It’s better when I lay down and w...
Spoke too soon in Life in General
Yesterday I had a pretty nasty tinnitus day again.... Damnit I thought this was solved. It’s 1000% my sinuses though. Every time I notice the high pitch is louder than usual, my ears start poppin...
Eureka in Life in General
My high pitched tinnitus is finally gone. It’s still too early to tell for sure, but it seems like maybe the high blood pressure I’ve been dealing with is to blame for my debilitating tinnitus. M...
I'm falling apart in Life in General
I swear my body has been falling apart over the past few months. Until around the end of October last year, I had very very few health issues. I felt fine most of the time and rarely got sick. Si...
LA in Life in General
We just got back from our trip to LA yesterday. Honestly, most of the trip was really nice and not a whole lot went wrong, except for like 2 things. First of all, I flew separately from Jessica b...
Antibiotics in Life in General
I’m on my third round of antibiotics now for my ear infection. The first two seemed to help while I was on the antibiotics, but the pressure feeling always came back right after I stopped. I’m re...
Tinnitus in Life in General
So I’ve had tinnitus for a long time, like over 10 years. It does suck but I’ve been pretty good about ignoring it most of the time. I only accidentally focused on it when I was in an environment...
Therapy in Life in General
I had my first ever therapy session recently. I woke up on Monday and realized I hadn’t showered in 3 days and the kitchen and my office were a total mess. I hadn’t posted anything online in week...
I can('t) see clearly now! in Life in General
Contacts So my new contacts arrived about a week ago and they are AWFUL. I had never been so uncomfortable in my life, just felt like sandpaper in my eyes. The doctor told me they get much more c...
New Monitor in Life in General
warning this is just tech nerdy crap so if you don’t care about that stuff skip… Something I didn’t mention in my previous entry is that in order to better play games together, I’ve basically giv...
Panic Attacks in Life in General
I’ve never experienced one before, but last week I’m pretty sure I started. I had these weird deep shakes that would start deep in my chest and radiate out to the rest of my body. I was having a ...
bear in Life in General
Yesterday was a difficult day. I took Bear in for his annual checkup and for the first time got some bad news. He has a heart murmur. We’re trying to get him scheduled with a vet cardiologist to ...
One Day At a Time in Life in General
Weight Loss My weight loss is pretty much plateaued at this point. I’m losing a tiny tiny bit but it’s nothing to write home about. I haven’t really been overeating but I’ve had a few weak moment...
Weight Loss Update again in Life in General
Kind of a shitty weight loss week tbh. I haven’t lost anything. I went with Jessica to Oklahoma city last weekend and while I didn’t stick to my diet perfectly, I also made really good decisions....
New Toys in Life in General
Weight Loss It’s going pretty well actually! I didn’t work out as much as I should have last week but I still got a couple in and I’m about to go outside and do today’s workout. I’m only stalling...
Stoned in Life in General
I tried edibles last night. It didn’t go well. I smoked a little bit back in high school and a few years after, mostly if my roommate Michael asked me to. For a long time it was just normal, we’d...
Fat Shamed in Life in General
You read that right.... My scale fucking fat shames me when I step on it haha. It does this sad slide whistle sound with a bell it’s so funny haha. Whoever programmed this thing was definitely a ...
Update in Life in General
Weight Loss Apparently I’ve lost more weight than I thought. Must have weighed at the wrong time of day or something, but it’s looking like it’s closer to 9 lbs so far! That’s kind of too much fo...
Slowly getting back into it. in Life in General
Content Creation I need to start posting content again. I definitely don’t want to go back to a normal job, but I’m afraid I may have wasted away my opportunity unfortunately. We’ll see. I’m tryi...
