I'm two days into a new anti depressant mediation, feeling good so far but the nausea side effect is getting to me today. So cheer me up with some good things in your life. I think we could all use some good news at the moment given the state of things globally.

1 yGood news seems hard to come by these days🤦♂️
And I’m sick this weekend, some kind of weird thing, but honestly, as illness goes, it’s pretty luxurious, lmao. Like I thought I was getting a chest cold, and I sort of do have one, but like (hopefully this makes sense) the affected area is in an out-of-the-way part of my lungs and doesn’t cause me to cough, so I just force a cough like once an hour to clear myself out. But it’s not annoying whatsoever, so I’m thankful for that. I also dry-heaved a couple of times, and I haven’t eaten much…. BUT I can stand to lose a couple pounds after holiday season, lmao, and not being able to eat much this weekend is just what the doctor ordered😂
And the best part is I’m just shut down for the weekend, and I’ve been sleeping OFF THE HOOK, so I’m enjoying the rest and solitude and the break from others having expectations of me. It’s like I get all the good parts of being sick without being THAT uncomfortable. This is my favorite illness of all time😝
Let’s see, what else…. oh, I had a two-goal game in my hockey game on Wednesday night. Nice to be the hero once in a while as a newer player👍
A week ago today we celebrated my dad’s 93rd birthday, so that’s feel-good stuff. I always assumed my dad would be gone from my life early since he was almost 50 when he had me, but I’ve been very fortunate to still get 45 years with him and counting. Very grateful for that, he could’ve died in his 70s like a lot of people do, when I’d have still been in my 20s.
What else….🤔 Oh, I was super excited when I went to a dermatology appointment a couple weeks ago and the guy froze off a mole on my forehead that I probably notice way more than anyone else but I was WICKED self-conscious about. I went to a dermatologist a year ago and pointed it out, and the dude legit snapped at me that “THAT’S COSMETIC, YOU CAN GET THAT TAKEN OFF FOR ABIUT $1,000, INSURANCE WON’T COVER THAT!” Like bro, say it, don’t yell it, what the fuck is wrong with you?😂 Like I’m trying to scam him or something. Isn’t this what you do for a job? Assess skin stuff and relay the info to the patient?🙄🤦♂️ I wasn’t fighting him on it or anything, he seemed annoyed that I even asked.
Luckily, his bitch ass retired, and I got a fresh referral from my doctor, to a new place. I mentioned the thing on the forehead and how it was right where my hockey helmet rubs against, so I was always afraid of ripping it or something. Dude was just like “no sweat, we’ll take that off, I’ll slide it through as “medical.”” MY DUDE👊😎 So now that’s gone and I feel beeyootiful again💅
Alright, that’s probably what I’ve got. Tried to keep the medical stuff as non-TMI as possible, lmao, Hope I didn’t disgust anyone😅😂

Well for me I bought a new vehicle & paid for it full which feels good to have zero debt. Bought a Lexus GX 460 which are just solid reliable.
But I would say that something really good which I would recommend is my new addiction to Cacao. This stuff is amazing, has to be one of the healthiest foods on the planet, basically chocolate in its pure form. Basically the Coco bean is made into A. Cacao it's pure form with some amazing properties, or B. Cocoa, where it's roasted & tons of sugar added which tastes great but loses all its benefits.
Anyway, basically you buy Cacao, I buy a brand called BetterBodyFoods, it's like a 1 pound bag sold at many grocery stores, even Walmart. Mix it with about 80% water 20% milk, add cinnamon and a bunch of honey. It makes kind of a honey flavored hot chocolate. Cacao though has a list of benefits as long as my arm though, it's an incredibly powerful antioxidant aka cancer fighter, it improves your mood as it's a powerful natural antidepressant, increases libido etc etc. I rant and rave about this stuff to anyone who'll listen.

1 yMy wonderful Pyrenees is opinionated and barks to let us know if HE thinks anything is hinky. This includes a dog barking several blocks away (I live in suburbs so our “blocks” are huge. j and the crow squawking too loud. Despite his lordship being an ass sometimes, he also fearlessly chased off a sow bear and two cubs when she waltzed into our campsite. No harm done to anyone, but my camp trip had to be cut short because my dog was then in hyper-alert mode so would bark to scare off or warn EVERYTHING that he was on duty: birds could not fly overhead, pine cones could not fall, chipmunks could not pass through, and the wind was not allowed to blow too hard in HIS opinion thereafter. Lol. He got his own steak for dinner that evening before we packed camp.

Sorry to hear that. I hope you'll be able to get off them soon enough. Had to use them for a while back in 2020 (not for depression) and it's crazy how it can alter your thoughts. Hope it works out for you.
That said, I've been working on a scrapbook from my time working in the US, and I've currently arrived at the time I started traveling around. It's nice to relive some of those memories.
I've started line dancing last week, which is rather odd and a complete contrast to the boxing I usually do, but it's a nice addition to my schedule.
Other than that, not much going on except for spending time with my siblings and having been visiting my cousins a lot more than before. Which I do like.
Feel free to reach out if you need to talk.

For the longest time, I had trouble staying in shape because I would be so inflamed & it would always cause me to be injured. But now after tracking literally everything I consume for the past year, I'm able to really be specific with how I want to feel & be injury free.

4 . The golf is back going okey , enjoying more.
5 . Income out of Australia improving every year ( compounding ) to well cover inflation.
There is a heap more , but its all positive.

Nothing exciting at this moment , I tend to feel down and depressed around this time of the year mainly because I hate winter time , I tend to turn into a bear that wants to hibernate as much as possible , Why I want to move somewhere that is warm all year round because once the weather gets warmer and the sun is out , I feel way better. The winter just gives me bad vibes for whatever reason. My doctor says it’s because my Vitamin D levels drop big time so he prescribes me a very high dose of vitamin D that tends to help me through the winter time because I am no longer getting the sunlight like I use to get where I was born and raised , I should of never moved to this area but this is where life took me . So now my focus is trying to get outta here lol

I never paid any attention to it until I lived in Alaska. That's when it really hits you living in Fairbanks in February an think "oh my god, will it ever end?". 😄 For some reason after that I've always been much more aware of it. Third week of January though is the worst, the darkness, the cold, the holidays are over & its just miserable. I'm a big believer in being aware of it and doing stuff to fight it. I keep a roaring fire going at home when I'm not traveling, I drink a lot of Cacao, that stuff is magic, take lots of vitamin D & eat healthy, listen to great music, it all helps.
1 yI'm only 5'10" tall and I am so muscular that I can pick up a guy that is 7' tall and literally rip parts of his body off and throw him on a pile of rocks. I'm a fucking monster. Bitches want to fuck me... like no bullshit they'll pass me notes and shit and try in every way possible to hook up. I get whatever I want and when I want it almost like the Gods are looking out for me. I don't even know if I'm good or evil at this point. I'm just the fucking gold standard.
@Smashingdoozy I'll put it like this... You'd be mine in no time if I looked in your direction... and that's if I even want you. I get what I want though. Beta males fear me and my male gaze.

@NathanDavis That is so cool! When we lived in Ecuador, We had a kind of rescue mission mentality. There are literally thousands of starving dogs on the streets there. We found homes for as many as we could. People would come to us to help train their dogs bc they had no concept it could even be done until they saw our dogs out on the street around town with us and being obedient. They just beat the dogs let them run wild. But, that's one thing I ended up becoming very selective about bc it does no good to train a dog and then have the owner do nothing to keep the training reinforced. So, I told the locals I would only help if the owner was willing to be trained along with the dog. I'm sure you will give it your special ND touch!

@Caroline91 yes, exactly... which is why this sanctuary is apart... from the Vet Clinic/Shelter that does the adoptions
so they're very VERY selective with whom they will let get more involved even as a volunteer... lol - 1 y
