You know a lot of folks these days try to watch their weight. Whether they do a good job or not is something else. I go see a nutritionist once a month and have to write down my daily intake of food and drink as well as how much exercise I get. For me I needed that structure as probably do a lot of other folks.

I was just watching something on the news about a trial some universities were having which just entailed keeping a daily food diary with exercise and they lost anywhere from 9-13 lbs within the first 6 months. Some people where in shock at how much food they were actually eating or what kinds of foods they were eating with regards to the calorie content and substance.

I think if some have tried the diets and have failed this might be the best option because I really think it might be that structure that we need and accountability which is what these food diaries are. Especially for me because the nutritionist doesn’t just file them away, she actually reads them and we go over what my choices were. Eventually I will get to a point where I can manage it myself but for right now with the shit I have to deal with I’m glad I go every month and get guidance.

So I’m minding my own business getting ready to order some food at the restaurant when I turn around and WHAM I see a blast from the past who is now out of jail. Why was he in jail you ask? Well the lawyer finally got the charges dropped all the way down to a lewd act on a minor <16 years of age. He did about a year in jail and got out this past April. Okay, sure I guess he has to eat sometime but then I find out he is dating one of the waitresses at the restaurant. That ain’t good if she has no idea of his past. But it gets worse, she has a child. Think that’s bad? It gets even more worse, she is renting a house from his father who also was in jail for sexual conduct with not one minor but MINORS. Now the woman’s in denial. I mean this is all public knowledge and available online so its not like it is fake but she doesn’t want to believe any of it. I told them just keep me out of it because I don’t want any part of it. Some coworkers told her about it when they brought up the information on the internet. I can only imagine how this is going to go down when that woman gets home.

You have to wonder if some sort of cosmic forces were out working over the weekend.

First I found out that one of my friends was in a severe car accident over the weekend at 4 AM swerving to miss an oppossum crossing the road when she flipped her SUV front over back. She got thrown from the vehicle and luckily there was someone following her home because this was one of those back roads as we are somewhat near the country and some of these roads aren’t traveled that often much less have lights on it. So he finds her and gets her to the hospital without calling 911. She ended up with a collapsed left lung, all her left ribs broken, and a bruised left shoulder and arm. Then on the right side she had to have a pin and rod put in her hip and leg because that was broke. She is now on the mend to a long recovery and we’ll all be there to help when needed.

Then some other friends were headed home on their bike when the passengers foot peg broke off right when they were going over the railroad tracks and she caught her foot in the tracks going over it and gouged out the back of her leg from the peg where it broke off and ended up with 30 stitches. She didn’t even realize she had cut herself until she saw a trail of blood from where she walking to go retrieve the peg. It was gnarly looking too.

Hopefully this will be a better week all round.

You know it has all come so clear now that I need a new outlet for all my frustrations and stress since I have not been doing what I normally do which is bowl once a week. There is that satisfaction of slinging a 15-16 lb bowling ball down an alley making it curve while trying to hit every blasted pin down there in one shot.

What set me off this past weekend what my fucking router yet again. Someone please tell me why these pieces of shit don’t stay connected 24/7? I never have any issues even when the red light shows while on my tablet (I tested it out) using the wifi but it always affects my desktop which uses a cable which is then connected into the router. It just pisses me off and I snapped. I busted up the under the desk pull out keyboard and mouse holder. Nearly snapped it half when I slammed it in the floor after I pounded it off the rails. Actually, it’s not the first time either to tell you the truth. I have had to buy a few keyboards and mice from busting them up pounding them down.

I laugh now but damn I need to find an outlet to vent somehow because I surely can’t do it at either one of my jobs and you can only run it out so much. Course my knees would give out before that happened. Running on a treadmill is rough on your knees. It is times like these I wish I still had my cat around because she used to calm me down. New job would help but I can’t forgo the retirement from the one I have now. Vacation would do some good since the last one was probably close to 10 years ago but alas no money for that. Another one of my problems, hence the 2 jobs.
