Also, if you’re trying to make contact with me from southern California, don’t call first, I have a 323 cell phone so that’s where all my spam comes from and I preemptively delete stuff.
Had to take additional iron today to stave off the deficiency and was afraid it was getting worse but then realized I just haven’t had any red meat in a while
Think the belly’s receding back to merely “stuffed” from “overstuffed”, it’s becoming a single mass tarped over by the skin without any of the further bulges upon that
Also, as a pretty fluent user of English who casually uses basic coinages like “tarped”, can I say how fucking frustrating it is that I have to go back and retype them twice while Autocorrect makes asinine “corrections” every time?

Whereas the last few years I mostly saw stroller-pushing parents or neighbors from the next block out the window on the side yard woodchip path, this year I’m seeing more of a variety – childless (and more Portland-looking) 30something couples, 20something and college roommates, even teenagers. A good sign.
And again, a source of pride given that was a muddy, broadleaf-infested tunnel dim with overgrown vines and trees leading into a trash-strewn, weedy block of social decay where car thieves stripped them for parts just 7 years ago when I moved in and more than anything it was my personal attention that improved it.
(I mean yes, the block kind of flipped up at least half a class level in that time but a. I claim at least a share of credit there and b. that works by bringing in people like me)
Bike riders too, I think people have realized that using it and another shortcut (of the type that shows up on your Saints Row GPS after taking it once) down the way you can cut to a good North-South bike route
Suspect I may have had a sleep deficit going into last night. That’s probably gonna be a problem with the way the anxiety-zeroed personality doesn’t feel any worse as I get tired – my mental quality still degrades and I start to drift off, but there’s not as clear a signal where on that spectrum I am.
Within the week gonna go down to 4 scoops creatine/day, which is where I was before the 7th case echoes boosted it, so, progress
In earlier occurrences I tried to step down as soon as I could.
As this is winding down and I can project the ending won’t send me emaciated, I figure that yeah, I’ll take a bit more weight loss instead of my internal processes slowing down overnight until I take a new dose in the morning, so I’ll hold off stepping down until I’m just barely starting to feel drag in the morning when I wake up and refresh the dose
A big milestone today was when I woke up, got active, and then had to take a shit before creatine
Imagine leaving the house to go pick up your meds…then be told you’re faking illness. Damn.
Imagine spending the extra money to grind your existing workforce down even harder instead of just, hiring more people for the job?
Even more than infidelity, employers investigating medical leave and workers’ comp claims, often by staking them out (in hope of photographing them acting in ways incompatible with their claimed malady) are a private eye’s bread and butter
