I need to increase my workout time and how much I focus on meditating over classical music to be better at handling stress
So relieved that my allergies are gone
I was very stressed yesterday about the war and goals while sleep deprived but I feel much better after catching up on sleep
Really grateful to see the San Diego police department set up homeless people with shelter beds in a homeless outreach team that specializes in the homelessness crisis

Sometimes I hate how I look. Sometimes I love how I look. I have no idea why I can look like the same person and fluctuate so much on how I think I look.
I've been having flashbacks to how I actually could have been super savage as an adolescent if I wanted to. Honestly, not something I regret since I was never mean to anyone unless it was in self defense.
I need to get in the habit of being up early in the morning to have more time to get more out of life both in terms of experiencing more and accomplishing more.
You Are More Than Your Occupation

Because I am pursuing a policy research career in my spare time with self training, I'm not sure if I can handle being informed on other things going on in the world while dealing with that pressure without losing my mind.
It's possible that my reaction to my medication is changing enough that I don't need to switch out to avoid insomnia.
Rising oil prices are adding incentive for me to have a job within a reasonable commute by buses in a lower cost city with poor public transit.

I have no idea why so many people who work full time seem to be all too happy to waste so much time without any sense of direction.
Realized that Iβm probably better off with this medication that is making me irritable
Feeling 44 years old by feeling irritated
Being a more purpose centered means being a more successful person than most geniuses out there.
So I just found out about a California law requiring me to get medical care in a timely fashion. But I found out about this law exactly too late to necessarily benefit from it because the state takes time to process papers.
I used to feel pressure to succeed. Then I moved on by using the fact I have some basic humility for understanding we all have limitations.
Happy International Women's Day!
I think Iβm a victim of how my social media algorithms are rage baiting me and itβs taking a toll on my mental health
I'm starting to lean towards looking for work in Phoenix instead of Oahu because Arizona has regulations against waits too long to see a psychiatrist.
The wait time to see a psychiatrist on Medicaid is so long that I'm wondering if I am missing so much time for work it would be more affordable to deal with the cost of private insurance and copays.
I have been failing to lose weight from worrying about losing weight too quickly to lose it in the healthiest way possible. I'm now just going to try to allow myself to eat less rather than worry about that.
Yeah living where I do has enlightened me on all the anti-Tesla hate.
I don't think Tesla drivers are necessarily immoral enough when they're entitled jerks to be the Elon Musk worshippers. I think they are just like people who lost sight of traditional values.
I've noticed that my childhood neighborhood is known for having some Teslas in it as it's gotten more expensive to be a San Diego homeowner so there are rich people in my previously more middle class area. I might be going back and I'm afraid the Tesla people may have ruined it.

Yeah with me this morning I was walking my elderly dog who wasn't crossing the street faster and I had to walk with him to stop him from being run over and it was the morning commute time when it was like I waited past other cars and a Tesla honked at me.
Back to sometimes listening to favorite singles from the band Garbage again. I will never cease to be amazed by their best work.
