evile2022 recap...not much.
Started the year at 236 lbs, ended at 245.
Got Covid in July.
Got my work contract extended in May and again in November.
Liam died in mid October.
Brother A got out of prison and came to live with us in late October.
Thax and I went with Boba and Sunny to Port A at the beginning of December.
Went wine tasting with Russ and the gang in Dec.
Xmas with Thaxs sisters & fam. 37th st Holiday lights with Russ and fam.
My resolutions for 2022 were:
2023 isn't starting well. I had made some short grain rice yesterday, added mirin, and put in the fridge to make Musubi today. This morning I was making the musubi and I ended up spilling my coffee all over myself and into the rice I'd made. i only made one musubi, drenched the nori, just a mess. So, put the rest of the sliced spam in the fridge and maybe I'll try again and maybe I'll just rage-eat the salty meat at some point for spite and self hate.
There's a dead dog in the park and then we also found a dead squirrel in a yard in the neighborhood, all on our first dog walk of the new year. We called 311 for the dog. The dingdong who answered suggested we move it out to the curb for Austin Resource Recovery to collect. Thax said 'no'. The dog looked to be about Boba's size, probably 50-60 lb, also looked to have been either buried and then unearthed by scavengers (coyotes?) and/or dismembered/cut in half. I wasn't about to get a closer look. It was near the big oak tree that is on one side of the basketball court near a picnic table, between the tree and the sidewalk that goes between the creek and the basketball/picnic/big tree. I was walking, kind of absentmindedly trying to get my Pokemon Go! up and running, Sunny kind of lunged towards it which made me look up and see the poor thing. I turned around and walked back the way we had come, telling Thax we were going to go a different way. A city of Austin truck was in the parking lot, she was just a regular trash collector, so didn't have the tools (nor, I think, the physical strength it would have taken) to move the dog. I texted our next door neighbors to see if they had any 'caution' tape. There were people walking in the park, dogs and strollers. Thax warned a couple who drove up and got out of their car with a pizza not to go down to that particular table for their picnic.
We continued our walk and Sunny found a dead squirrel in someone's yard. Then we came across a bunch of jays screaming in the trees overhead. Didn't see a cat, or a baby on the ground, or any feathers, so I don't know what they were fussing about. Bad omens for sure.
Been reading about tesofensine, a triple reuptake inhibitor (depression med) that has a side effect of weight loss. I am hesitating between just ordering it online for $250 for 30 500 mcg tablets, or trying to fuss and holler my way into maybe getting my actual doctor to write me an actual prescription. Thax says I should talk to my doc first. I have enough baggage with doctors that I'd rather try doing it myself first. But I'm still waffling. It's money and hassle either way that I really don't want to do but I am a) depressed and b) obese and I'd really like to see if there is anything medicine can do for me, because god knows nothing I've ever tried has had any positive effect over the long term.
Anyway. Fuck 2022 and fuck me for being a lazy POS and fuck 2023 for probably being more of the same.
