From Jersey w/ Love
I have a toddler, so I've been randomly sick a bunch recently too. Right now I get the fun experience of having Coxsackie hand, foot, and mouth disease.

It's been quite the crash course in epidemiology, finding out that kids still get bizarre diseases you thought we wiped out long ago.

My wife got that from my niece years ago. Pretty sure the niece got it at Sesame Place water park (no surprise)


How you feeling now buddy?

some grass cutting company put up a bag sign today across the road on a corner ... the last time a bag sign showed up where i live it was about 4 years ago ...a landscaping company....

call him at 3 in the morning and said

'hey pal, dont put your signs up in my town...i bet you dont even have a permit'

he was pissed and called me by name (as i didnt block my name or number) and said he's going to call the cops. whatever right.

...nothing became of it.... the sign was gone and that was it. and it was not replaced.

...

now... time to talk to this grass company so they understand how things are

Ugh. That’s always tough. Substance abuse is at thr root of so many personal problems. Hopefully the person you are talking about will seek help at some point .
She has sought help. She goes to the methadone clinic every morning and gets her dose and goes home and calls up the dope man to see what he’s got today.

And yes, I realize the methadone is just part of the never ending regurgitation. I’m just not sure why she even bothers going when she’s gotta do the shit anyway.

I’m really hurt by all of this. She won’t even reply to my messages, probably because she’s high and nodding out and forgets they’re in there. And she never contacts me first. Probably because she’s high and nodding out and forgets I even exist.

I wanna enjoy the playoffs. I have her blocked until the Devils are out. This will ruin the playoffs for me if I don’t. And if she ever realizes she was blocked, which she probably won’t, I’ll make up some BS that I meant to block someone else that’s next to her in my contacts and it was on accident.

I don’t give a f*** how bad it makes me look, how childish it is. This is for MY mental health, this is for MY peace of mind.

If she really wants to contact me or needs me while she’s blocked (she won’t) she can try me on her mom’s number (she won’t) and get ahold of me. But she won’t.

I hope she feels like an asshole. But she won’t because she cares about her drugs more than anything.

I don’t even think I wanna see her when I potentially take a trip up to Jersey in November. I know I will have cooled down by then.

I’m just over this.

And I’ve been feeling way older than my age lately, particularly when I’m resting and not in motion. I’m falling apart and have convinced myself that I have serious health issues. It could just be mental health issues that are tricking me into thinking they’re physical health ailments.

Cutting out the things that trigger me and make me feel worse are needed right now. And that is absolutely one of them.

You can only do your best and it’s well known that the family and friends of addicts suffer as well. Methadone isn’t enough she needs to really want to get better and a comprehensive program to do so. Nobody can blame you for protecting yourself from an unreformed addict. It’s not simple or easy and if you don’t take care of yourself it’s not likely anyone else will.

Never mind

I don’t care anymore

I’m sure I’ll want to rant more about this later in the month

Thanks for asking. Still sick. This thing is lingering on forever. Low fewer, headache and chest congestion since Sunday. Hopefully today is the last day of this.

Finally got my tax's in. That's a load off.

I use Turbotax and got hung up because it was showing a negative amount from one of my rental properties. I do charge way below market because I rent to family, but I thought there was an issue regarding personal use of the property and maybe that was skewing the expenses.. But I wasn't seeing the depreciation and amortization write offs. So refund incoming!!

I have been alcohol free for 10 weeks now.
Intermittent fasting and bouncing from keto and carnivore diet (essentially no carbs diet).

I make sure to get 10,000 steps a day and only lift weights 3x a week.

Never felt so good and/or looked better.
Let's go for beer and pizza! You did enough time.

Buddy of mine had his DNA test recently and learned he had some Neanderthal DNA. Didn't realize that some people, but not everybody, have some Neanderthal lineage.

Thought that was interesting.

let your kids eat dirt - it's the fasted path to a fully robust immune system and everyone gets really sick for the first 6 months but then it's over for the most part lol.

Daycare got me sick more often in the first 18 months than I have been the last 30 years combined.

They've slowed down a bit recently, but for a while we were averaging 2-3 colds a month, if not nastier stuff.

Daycares are such cesspools of disease, but as long as your kid has a normal immune system, it's good for them and they'll be fine. It just sucks for everyone involved going through it.

In my experience the cesspool of germs continues all the way up through high school.
