This has been a very relaxed week. Monday was busy and the day flew by. The rest of the week drug because there wasn’t much to do. Boss man was on vacation and that helped us all so we didn’t have a million conference calls to join and there weren’t a barrage of interruptions. There were times that were busier than others but for the most part I just sat around and played.
The most interesting this that I have done all week long is look at Chiropractic Adjustment videos on-line. I never exactly knew how they did adjustments. It’s interesting and the cracking and popping of bones sound can be addictive. However, I work with a guy who pops his knuckles all the time and I hate the sound. He’s actually the one who inspired me to look up the videos. They look like they can provide some relief and I like the fact that they even you out so that everything is where it should be. However, I’m sure there are cases where things didn’t go quite right. So as tempting as it is for now I am staying away. I’ve never been to a Chiropractor but did work for one in one of my many previous jobs. It was a sales position and while it may sound easy it was difficult. Personally, I think I got him a decent amount of business but I only actually got credit for referring in 1 person.
I’ve had a battle with the ants again. They are persistent. I am eagerly and patiently awaiting the first full freeze. I’ve got a while to go but it’s coming just like Christmas and eventually it will happen. I don’t like being cold or winter but the upside is there are no bugs of any kind and that is appealing to me.
Went out with my pal tonight and had pasta. He sprang for the meal which was unexpected but very much appreciated. I am on the low side of operating cash. I can make it to the grocery store and fill the tank. However, it’s a couple weeks until payday and I can already tell you I won’t make it. Thankfully I have my credit cards to fall back on but that just creates another problem. I’ve already been using them a little and I am outside of my comfort zone.
Speaking of money and bills. I got an email that my cell bill was ready. I went to look at it and noticed that it went up. Turns out my data plan that I had was eliminated and I got upgraded to a plan with 3 additional gig of data. It’s only $4 more but the crazy part is if I want to downgrade it costs more money. I was warned last month on my bill but didn’t pay attention since this bill is on autopay. That’s the problem they sucker you into autopay and paperless billing, no one takes time to review their bills on-line and they sneak in changes like this. I’m not happy about it but at the same time they did provide notice, while it wasn’t much notice it was notice so I don’t have a leg to stand on with a complaint. It’s also odd that I could start a new account with less data and a better phone and still pay less than what I am paying now. Somehow customer loyalty has gone out the window and there is no benefit of being true to 1 company for years on end. Your told your valued as a customer but it’ just lip service. I really want to upgrade phones and get me an Apple 8 Plus but it’s cost prohibitive right now. The electric storm hurt me financially and if I need to I can dip into savings to bail out but I’d like to not have to do that.
I changed up one of my anti-depressants to be every other day instead of every day. I feel pretty good. Doing one more week of that. Then I am going to stretch it out a little longer. The end goal being coming off the medicine if it feels right. I think I can function without it and that overall I would be somewhat healthier without it but the real question is would I be happier? Can I function without it? It’s been apart of my life for so many years now. I think I might need it but not to the degree where I need to take a pill every single day. I’d like my tremor to go away and while that might now happen the only way to find out for certain is to come off the medicine slowly and then give my body time to purge and normalize. Yeah I will tell the doc about it next month. He’s going to be changing my diabetic meds anyway because my sugar is just plain out of control. Yeah my diet plays a large part but at the same time I am trying to be good now and it’s not working, so I need some help. Just keep me away from the needles.
I saw the Robin Williams Documentary and it was extraordinary. I had to wait until it aired live in the evening. HBO didn’t release it earlier than 7p which was disappointing but at the same time gave me something to look forward to. I laughed my self silly watching it and that made me miss him all that much more. It’s sad what he had to go through and that he took his own life but at the same time I understand his reasoning.
So there you have it my week. My computer at work is being upgraded to Windows 10 so Monday I expect will be a very busy and stressful day, trying to put things back to the way I like them and getting used to a new environment. I use Windows 10 at home and like it, I am sure thing will work out fine at work but it’s just the anticipation for what I think is going to happen that has me a little on edge.
Time to relax and enjoy what is left of Saturday evening. Breakfast out, grocery shopping and filling up the tank are in store for the morning. Then I will be home for the rest of the day and finishing up cleaning the house, laundry and trying to relax.
I hope all is well in your world, that your staying cool and life is treating you fairly. Talk with you again soon. Thanks for stopping by.
