While the sky is falling, I am learning the new lessons each day seems to bring.

Those lessons rarely relate to the sky falling, but are just as important, maybe more so.

I may not be the best the best at anything, but that is good, because I can always learn to be better.

I think this is the difference between high self-esteem and narcissism.

Every day I share this planet with my kids is worth it.

Nothing to see here.

I rebuilt a TH350 on a bench in front of my university apartment once, so maybe I'm a trans folk. But if you talking about whatever you've done to your genitals, I don't care - and I fail to see why I should care, or why you would advertise it. I don't show up hoisting a flag because I'm missing a gallbladder?

Been more productive than usual this weekend. Feels good.

The longer issue is that I'm struggling a bit with both carb addiction and overeating, I think. Yes, removing caffeine improved my sleep, but it also removed the hunger suppression and the ritual of consuming something - so I started eating more, snacking more, etc. Even if I didn't stray to carbs, I was still eating sometimes twice as much per day as I was before.

So bringing coffee back, just trying to keep it to 1-2 cups per day, and maybe not every day, hoping it will help me get back on track.

This is mostly what my comments about addiction have been referencing as well. Sugar/carb addiction may be my hardest issue to overcome yet, because it is so easy to relapse, and everyone around you expects you to fail (or just eat carbs, if they don't know you're trying not to).

Tree is usually 2nd weekend of December, but lights and decorations go up anytime after Thanksgiving. Because we go cut a real tree, and don't want it dried out and shedding needles by dec 25. Fun fact - I proposed at a tree lot while preparing to cut our family tree, with a ring box made from the previous year's tree trunk.

I think quitting coffee may have been a mistake.

Your mind will trick you. Your body generally doesn't lie.

Western medicine disgusts me.

There is no incentive to restore or even encourage health. Everything is for a sale of goods and services. This is obvious in pharma, but it isn't any better in hospitals, medical offices, etc.

Of course it is no mystery that the population this mis-incentivized puports to serve is unhealthy and disease-ridden. This is much the same as a strung out junkie being good for the drug dealer, and all too often, precisely the same.

What if I told you that cancer is cured, as are most diseases we concern ourselves about? And that any charities taking donations to "cure" these diseases are as big a racket as the government agencies permitting their spread?

I now believe this to be the case. And it is one of those things that once seen, cannot be unseen. I will likely watch most of my family suffer and die from health problems that can be prevented or cured, if only they would stop poisoning themselves every day. This is an extremely saddening realization.

I'm not going to make this into another mega-rant, but this is what I must fall asleep knowing each night. Hopefully I will eventually save a few. Stop poisoning yourselves with toxins, and you may have a fighting chance.

Do not trust a western doctor to solve your problems. Of course, use them to get the tests and results you need to help yourself, but take responsibility for managing your own health, and only take their opinion as exactly that, not as a mandate. We can learn for ourselves how to treat our issues in ways that don't poison us or serve our addictions.

Many won't make it. That will be the great shame of this era.

Hooray!

For so many reasons, but likely none that those here are cheering about.

Doesn't mean I can't miss my friends.
