We Are Marshall

Hey. A few updates.

I've lost 25 pounds on my diet. I've stopped driving so fast. I'm not on my depression medication anymore. I have 2 jobs now. Nothing big. Not a career. I could use a big hug, and a good cry.

I guess all of those could use an explanation.

My diet. I've stopped eating so much and started exercising. 1700 calories a day and at least 20 minutes on the treadmill. I've been feeling better overall.

My driving habits. I decided that it's not worth it for me to always be looking out for cops. You won't find me recklessly endangering myself and the public on the roads anymore.

My depression medicine. A drug is a drug. Ask anyone at Narcotics Anonymous. I was addicted for the better part of a year to a "medicine" with powerful effects. I took myself off the drug the same way that it was prescribed to me. Gradually adjusting the dosage. My mood has definitely suffered. Like I said, the drug is powerful. I think that I am better off without the drug though.

My two jobs. I posted a few times ago about my Security Guard job. I trained on Friday for the position. We'll see if I like the job itself. I think I will. As for the second job I'm entering data for a local gun store. Cash under the table. Spending money. Saving money. Whatever. It's a job.

Oh, by the way. I cut my own hair the other day. It's a lot harder than you'd think. With no mirror you don't really know what you're cutting. I think it took me the better part of 40 minutes to get it all right.

Talk to me. I enjoy it.
