CoveredCA

Hey Obama,

Thanks for nothing. I signed up to get info for Covered CA. and now all I get is spam phone calls on my cellphone. I requested to be taken off of the call list. Their only response is that it takes 24 hours to be taken off of the list. That was after a week of 4-6 calls a day. Please have them stop harassing me.

Thanks.

Food Cravings

I miss foods, lots of them. Hamburgers, hot dogs, pizza, cake, ice cream, etc… I eat, yes. But I’ve had to sacrifice way too many types of food that I’d normally eat. I especially miss french fries. Again, yes, I eat them, just not at the magnitude I used to. Another thing I miss, Coke. I truly miss sugary sodas; even more so now that I’m back at EA. At least back at the old place I’d never/rarely ever hear a can open. Here at EA, there’s a soda machine so I hear a can crack way too often. I’ll just sit here quietly drinking my water from my Nalgene bottle and cry silently inside.

Dentist, Yay!

Who the heck says that? …I had a good dentist trip, today. No cavities! I bet it was partially to my dropping of all sodas from my diet.

The assistant and doctor definitely noticed my weight loss, it was all we talked about the whole time. I think I sparked a little motivation for the assistant and the new dental hygienist. I wonder where the other one went…

Job Change

So, I’ve been absent from here for a few days. I’ve changed jobs so I have to spend a lot of time doing real work now and get settled in. I’m actually back at EA, but I can’t disclose what I’m working on, nor who I’m working with. It’s great to be back here at EA, even if it’s a total different team than where I was before. My sister-in-law compares me going back to EA like dating an ex-girlfriend. I don’t feel the same way. I mean if it did, it would be like if your ex-girlfriend got a boob job and a better attitude, and you started dating again; which is a better comparison…

Anyway, while I won’t miss the previous company (except a few people), I will miss my walks on the marshes; or walks in general. Working there I had plenty of time for exercise before, during and after work. I didn’t have an open schedule, but I came and left when I wanted. I wasn’t supposed to, but I did anywhere. There’s a stricter schedule here, but I’ll make do. I’m sure there is much overtime to be done, so that’s going to affect my workout schedule, but I’ll try to manage it. Let’s see how I’m doing a year from now. Because that’s the most this contract will be. Yeah, I took a contract job, I’ll manage.

2 Year Anniversary

Yesterday was moO and my second marriage anniversary. Hard to believe it’s been two years already; and billionth year we’ve known each other.

We still haven’t gone on our honeymoon (no, we don’t count the Hawaii trips as the Honeymoon) and I keep promising it but the money just isn’t there. I’ll take her soon hopefully.  The longer I wait the more mad she becomes. So, keep buying stuff from me from Amazon so I can afford to take her! HAHAHA /ENDSHAMEFULPLUG.

Case Study: Weight

A touchy subject for most people is weight. Some people are uncomfortable with the weight they are at. Talking about it is even worse. I present this theoretical case:

CASE: “I gained a whole pound in the past few days.”

What to say: “Don’t let a small set back effect you. You’re doing good. Just keep that up.”

What NOT to say: “You ARE eating more ‘junk food’ than before.”

Better Day

Yes, I’ve been missing a few posts/day. I’ve had to deal with a lot of personal issues that I’ll get to when I can resolve them. However, that said, I had a slightly better day yesterday; okay well, maybe not day but “event.”

I’m on the bike with my smoked shield closed, stopped at the left stoplight to turn into the main street to my house. I look to my right and there’s a kid maybe 5-6 in the back seat of his mother’s SUV. He looks at me and just waves. I wave back. He couldn’t see my face through the dark smoked shield, but I smiled. Sometimes a simple wave can mean a lot to a person.

Pulling a Forest Gump

Just like the title says, I’m pulling a Forest Gump. moO is out for a baby shower, so I’m out walking/jogging. Oh hey my taco place. BRB.

Okay, that was good. Time to keep walking!

Edit: Ok, it wasn’t as far as I thought. It felt far…
