Good Afternoon, FS Warriors!
Well, it's my 2nd day back to work and I am feeling better. The worst of it has been the sinus drainage and feeling like my tonsils were inflamed. Both have lessened now; I just feel like I could sleep for a week. Of course, getting 6 hours a night doesn't help that either I guess. Stayed up a little too late again last night working on a laptop. I had been getting hard drive errors, so I bought a new hard drive, reinstalled the operating system and started installing other applications when I got the same error again. Since the hard drive controllers are built into each hard drive, and have already been replaced, that pretty much only leaves the motherboard to be replaced. I don't want to fool with that right now, so I just ordered another used computer tower with plenty of processing power, and all the extras I need to accommodate all the gizmos I will be plugging into it. I start my ministerial studies on Monday, and I definitely want to have my server and the PC working before I head to Branson for the week of Thanksgiving. My plan is to just take my little Ipad and pass my documents back to the server at home as need be. Yeah, I know none of this has to do with weight loss; just has to do with stress, which I guess causes me to eat, which I guess does has something to do with weight loss.
Still feeling a little light headed, and occasionally nauseous, so I'm not getting the exercising in that I want to, but I think the rest is more important right now. I am starting to count down; I've got a week of vacation and a couple of personal days coming, so I have 39 more working days till retirement. Sometimes when things happen, they happen at an exponential rate, and this was one of those times. Now, I can hardly wait for the games to begin. I've got plenty to keep me busy, and a little time for fun here and there isn't going to hurt either. I even have an old Heathkit Master Electronics Course, packed away in a box for about 15 years, that I haven't had time to play with, that I think I'll finish, and then repair an antique radio or two. I bought it for review, and just to keep the gray matter from becoming too tarnished, so I guess I'll fiind out just how much I've forgotten. I bought the enlarger and development supplies for developing and printing black and white film, so I think I'll play around with that a bit. And of course, there's the old '59 1 ton panel truck waiting in the garage to be restored, after I get done building all the kitchen cabinets of course. That's all assuming I get the pool downstairs completed before I retire. I've still got to completely wire the gymnasium, since all the lighting and wiring was removed when the roof was replaced. So, I've got a few years worth of work yet, regardless of whether I'm getting paid for it or not.
Who knows, DW might even want to take a few motorcycle rides with me. Well, on a more serious note, especially concerning diet, I've been looking seriously at the DASH diet, since I don't want to go on high blood pressure meds, and the diet actually makes a lot of sense, AND you have the option of like 1500, 1800 or 2200 calorie a day intake, or something like that. It's FREE! The website even gives you guidance on how to phase into it, or even do it partially. I like it. I can't remember who posted the link on here; I found the site very informative. Here's a link if anyone else is interested:

Anyway, I hope everyone is having a wonderful week. Blessings to you! Toodles!
