Alive.

Shaking.

Breathing.

What’s been happening since the last post a few weeks ago?

Welp, I’m healthy-ish.

Got my results back from my recent checkup and it wasn’t as bad as I thought. My total Cholesterol was the same, my bad cholesterol went up a few points and my good cholesterol went down slightly, but overall healthy.

The stress eating isn’t good for my heart nor my health and I know that. I was expecting much worse.

That’s a win, I guess.

My heart is normal.

I guess my new heartburn is from getting old.

Getting old sucks.

What else is new?

Went down to San Diego to visit uncle. He seems to be doing well, but with the corona virus, his business is taking a hit.

Ignorant people avoiding Asian shops thinking they are the source of the virus.

Hopefully things get better.

Auntie seems to be doing well. Able to still get up and get around, albeit very slowly, but she’s still kicking.

I’m glad that I went down to visit. It’s good seeing them again.

Auntie didn’t recognize me. Uncle said I got fatter, that’s why.

Well, it’s true. I did gain more weight since the last time that I saw them last.

While there, I got to explore San Diego a little. I think it’s pretty all right from what I’ve seen.

I will need to see more and I think I’ll make a few more trips down there. I need to find better hiking places, but I think the Mission Trails should be cool.

Next time.

I might need to find a better place to stay. As cute as the receptionist is at the motel, the place sucked. Or it was just smelly and dirty. Ahh, cheap hotel living. I guess you get what you paid for.

Work.

It’s going.

The reporting work is ongoing and I took a week away from it from the long long weekend, to getting sick, and busy with other work that I forgot what exactly I was working on for the programmatic team.

Things are winding down on the other projects so I have more time to focus on it now. I just need to remember what it is I was working on.

The online dashboarding project?

Shit show.

It just seems like a shit show now because the person running it is not the best communicator and I have no idea what’s going on.

We’ll go days, weeks of not communicating and then they’ll rush me on getting the project and timeline going. I need info from them, but they drop things on me last minute and expect things to get done now.

I’m really fucking over it.

I honestly don’t need that fucking kind of shit.

Things keep getting passed to me and it’s because I have my hands on so many things and I know so many other things.

Sigh.

When you are too good at your job.

Yay me.

Overall, at the moment, besides work, things are well.

Trying to work on my health.

Trying to not let work get to me. The SharePoint migration project should be wrapping up within the next month and a half so I don’t have to worry about that anymore.

No more weekend work.

Just relaxing and doing nothing on the weekend and trips.

I know I need to save money and invest, but trips.

I extended my Chicago trip to a full week because of a Microsoft Ignite convention that is happening there a few days after I planned on leaving. I think it’ll be good to see what’s on the roadmap and I think there were a few things that piqued my interest in the different tools that we are using and on governance and such.

It’ll be out of pocket on the flight and hotel, but honestly, I don’t care. It gets me out of the office which is the bane of my existence now.

People.

Just can’t deal with people.

Sigh.

People.

They’re the worse.

One day I need to take some time and go over everything that I need to do.

I know I have a list, but I don’t know how up to date it is and what is missing.

There’s just so much I need to do and so much I’m relying on others, but I’m so swamped that I’m not caring what the others are doing and things are delayed.

Fuck everything.

I need to worry about myself and my mental health and my physical health.

Trips.

Trips.

Trips.

And some hiking and yoga and exercise in there too.

Let’s see what happens.

Didn’t know where this was going or how it was going to end up, but here it is.
