I went forward and opened a door into Subway for a lady who was having difficulty with her trolley.

I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

Got through some paperwork. Sent emails that needed sending. And all that before going to work. Almost got my dishes done too. Few more pots to clean and then it is done.

  Yesterday, after my CT scan, I did some errands instead of procrastinating.  8)

I helped a colleague with a coding problem and ended up writing an entirely new function that solved a generic problem rather than just his specific one. It took me all morning but he was pleased and so was I.

There are some problems I love solving.

  That reminds me of when I was writing papers in school and found a flawed metaphor that
  made the whole paper worthless ... and reread the material, and came up with a new metaphor.
  I love finding flaws and working to fix problems.  Hell, I loved fixing my toilet seat the other day!  :fixin:

The code I wrote was very satisfying because it solved the generic version of my colleague's problem rather than just his specific one. There is a beauty in these things, a sense of completeness that is sometimes difficult to explain.

Anyway, I am really pleased.

  I love finding solutions to problems.  I want to do more of that!  :2thumbsup:

Applying for voluntary work with the elderly.
Getting back to the gym after going onto a fecking shitty med called Cymbalta which had me shooting up 3 sizes in 3 months from being at 12% bodyfat.
Lord, the time it took me to face walking back into that gym.
Continuing a fanfiction I had stopped writing over a decade ago, lol.

I have been on Cymbalta too, and it didn't have that effect on me. Seroquel certainly did though. 30kgs worth. Never take that.

Did you switch meds?

Nope. I took myself off them... tapered off. I was on it for 9 months or so, but the weight gain didn't kick in really until the final 3 months. It also took away the anger it was given to me for, but took away all desire to do anything at all. I didn't go out for 8 months apart from to the local shop. I hit the highest weight I have ever been in my life on that crap and still working to get it off. Think I am down 1.5-2 sizes in my few months back at the gym, but that med totally changed my body composition. This is how I looked before I went on it.




This is what I looked like just before returning to the gym.



and this is where I am at now, after 2 months back at the gym.

Thanks.
Just about to get back to 1 to 1 training to finish the job off... need the boxing/pad work, lol.
But I must admit, it is harder this time round to motivate myself even with the gym being a 4 minute walk away.

I went to the gym 3 times a week for over a year. Lost 2 kilos and gained muscular (for me) calves. Still very fat though. I suspect lithium is preventing me from losing any weight but at least I have reached a plateau and am not gaining any more.

Graelwyn, you look like a marathon runner.
