I wish I could like things. Then I would always be on level ground, unwavering, maybe not loved, because that's impossible, but at least I wouldn't be hated or left out.
You know. Ever since I cut back hard on snacks I've noticed how much flavour there actually is in them.
I just ate about 6 skittles, nice and slow and before it just tasted sweet, but now there is layers of flavour there. (Hard to describe)
Same with biscuits and chocolate. I don't eat hardly as much when I do consume, (before if I snacked on biscuits, I'd have about 4 or 5 a pop. Now I only really eat 2 or so. It feels odd having control like this. (Kind of still annoying that I do sometimes feel perpetually hungry though. Like right now. I may steal something low fat to nibble on in the fridge but I can mostly wait till morning. I'll have a nice bowl of wheetabix and that last banana if its still there))
I'm so happy I quit that shitty placement. If anything all its given me is a new perspective, (and bucket loads of "me" time now that I really keenly want to make the best off).
Hopefully my body would have recovered from that long gym session from yesterday by tomorrow, (its odd because at the time I felt great, but when woke up today my body is aching all over my back area. (The weight exercises I tried for the first time yesterrday I assume to be the cause of that). Hopefully tomorrow I'll go on one of my weekly walks)
Also note to self for tomorrow morning: Do some more studying for this years modules. THEN go for your walk. THEN guitar practice. Because changing that order seems to make you wander off and forget to do stuff. Don't do that.
Spent day 3 of the bathroom project cleaning the shower pan and putting up concrete board on the back wall.
At the start of day 4, my dad and I realized this morning that we needed to do a couple things before closing up the wall over the plumbing. The other side of that wall is an unfinished room, but that corner of it is inaccessible right now.
So first, we came to the decision that we needed to do something with the loose light fixture in the shower. This led to me crawling through the studs and under the plumbing so I could stand on a chair and a stool in a tiny corner of the unfinished room....
...so I could reach into a tiny space above the ceiling of the shower...
This is my actual vantage point after the vacuuming and removal of the old fixture.
...so I could find out what was up with the old fixture (which led to me reaching in to remove it)...
I wasn't able to see shit until I had the idea to stick my arm in and take pictures. My dad never went through the wall and only ever got to see the pictures to know what was going on up there..
...so we could install a fixture that's actually secured properly. The whole thing's so much better now.
This is the inside, but the outside is nicer too.
With that done, we put in a new board to secure the pipes to, then we finished putting up the concrete board.
Tomorrow, we get to tackle the adventure of installing tile.
The only way to get in was to crouch below the plumbing, then slip my upper body in below the pipes but above the shelf with the shoeboxes and sort of stand up into the hole between the two. It wasn't really that hard and I had to do it a few times. Once I was in, I just had to stand to the back and set up the folding chair in front of me so I could climb up and reach in above the drywall.

You can apply this to almost everything. Drink coffee every day of your life and you start hating the stuff, although you can't really stop. Drink a cup every month and this is the greatest stuff in the world. Yeah, I tried both.

Same thing with Coke, by the way.
Yeah I don't t drink coke that often but I do love an ice-cold vodka and coke with lemon!
I'm a Diet Pepsi person myself. Thankfully the absolute max that I'll have is three cans a day, but usually, I just have one and then a cup of some type of soda at lunch.
After hearing about a guy who drank a lot of coke daily and then died at an early age, I've cut back significantly to either one soda a day or none at all. It's not easy, though.
So I decided to play Civilization V on my new laptop today. But whenever I load it up, I get to the "Choose your mode" screen (Where you choose between Direct X versions) and then after choosing a version, nothing happen. The game just quits.
I've tried re-installing, verifying the steam Cache, all the obvious things. Any ideas? Specs wise my computer is more than capable of running it.
Also, have you tried NEW Water? It's apparently much better then that old water.
This is the chair I have. Stationary and somewhat impractical as a computer chair, but it's comfy and I love it.
also my favorite soda is probably cheerwine. or at least thats the first coming to mind in a groggy state. soft drinks are nice when you can drink them.
The answer's still Mountain Dew. White Out is still my favorite, followed by Code Red, Livewire, and Throwback. But I've been trying to drink less pop lately. I'm down to a can a day, if that, and I've been drinking a lot more lemonade. If there's pop on D&D nights, though (and if there is, it's usually because it was on sale that week and I bought it for the group), I might have two or three.
Actually, since I haven't been eating lunch very often lately, I've almost entirely cut pop out. Until my dad went on vacation, that is. Now I'll have one when we break for lunch.
AND SPEAKING OF MY DAD'S VACATION... Here's our progress for Day 5!
Yeah. Today consisted of picking up the mess from yesterday, putting up two tiles, trying to cut the third tile to go in the corner, and discovering that all our cuts are too narrow for our tile cutter, so it would snap the tiles in half instead of breaking them along the score line.
So we loaded up a few things we didn't end up needing, including the tile cutter, returned them to Home Depot for about $100, then drove to another Home Depot to buy a wet tile saw for $100.
So yeah, baby steps. No way in hell we're finishing this bathroom before my dad goes back to work.

I don't really like Bleach.
Yeah, it has a terrible aftertaste.
(And other stories from the grocery store today....)
Do any of you guys have one?

I do notice that the first and last cans in the house always taste the best though
I am trying to cut back. I do more than five cans a day.
I'm ashamed to admit how much I'll actually drink. Coke Zero though.
Lately gotten it down to three.
You are already dead.
Mostly water though...

This is the greatest thing anyone has ever said to me.

I’m a huge root beer guy. My personal favorites are Virgil’s and Sprecher.
And it's from Florida, too.
Son of a bitch...
