Good day today. Got a lot done.
It was nice in that it was only 85 or so, and mostly cloudy.
Best part was stepping on the scale.
My empty weight [nekkid] clocked in at 229. I busted the barrier and lost 9 pounds since stopping alcohol. That’s 46 pounds since last November. It also helps that there’s no one to cook dinner for, so I rarely eat it or eat leftovers. I’m following my gut more that tradition. If I’m not hungry, I don’t eat.
By the end of the month I’ll be at my target, if I keep up this way. Only 4 lbs. Already most of my clothing is hanging off me. Hell, I even have a chin again!
It’s nice that even in high 80 degree weather, I can walk Aria our customary two miles with zero flop sweats. I can bike for over an hour in 100 degrees solid, same thing.
Only dark spot on the day is I can’t make heads or tails of pump #1 on the Spa. It’s not outputting the same volume of water it used to, but doesn’t seem to run any different than the others. I’m wondering if it has a worn or damaged impellor. It was squealing awhile back, then this started. Stinkin’ pump is 300-500 bucks.
I notice it now because I started using the thing.
I wake up way earlier than the alarm after sleeping like a rock. I let the girl out, and while she’s doing her business and sniffing around, I soak in the tub and enjoy the sunrise. I took Piggott’s advice during this shitshow I’m involved in as well as Vox Day’s and now? Don’t give a shit. Not one. The bag of fucks I had to give is empty. It’s simply an asset liquidation and distribution now.
Look at this puppy – 84K, and it has a SHOP! – https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/354-28th-St-NE_Paris_TX_75460_M85052-44486
Too bad that I can’t put a downpayment until this silliness is settled.

It’s great to have a “GOOD DAY’. I’m still struggling with Duke’s loss big time however at least now, I seem to be able to be a bit more positive. I too have been “Downsizing” and it started with the shitshow that was hurricane Ian… between the stress and “Shelter Food” I had noticed I started to drop a few pounds. Hmmm…. so a bit of behavioral modification and since then I’m down 40 lbs. myself.
Go figure.
Since plugging the jug in 1985, I’ve come to find out, I don’t get what I want. I don’t often get what I need. I get what I GET and I need to DEAL with it… and I should be grateful that I didn’t get what I DESERVED. 😉
What I DO have though… is the ability TO appreciate a GOOD DAY when it comes my way. Hell… I can even appreciate a GOOD DAY when it happens to OTHERS and I can SMILE and NOD and know that maybe soon it will be my turn for one.
Thanks for this post. I needed it.
