Day...I lost count

So, I guess that once I decided to stop blogging daily, I just decided to stop blogging altogether. So I've been doing alot since we last talked. I've finished my Christmas shopping except for a few items. I scanned in my first 7 pages of my comic and tinkered with some digital painting. Now, I'm watching Once Upon A Time and fading in and out of this post. So I will devote my attention to just one of them. *click*

Day 33-ish

I didn't blog Friday or Saturday. I'm strangely comfortable with that. Friday we had dinner with Tom and Jenny and the baby, then my wife went to Adoration while I sat on my butt playing video games and watching Batman cartoons. Yesterday we had a very busy day and it would have been a good day to post a to-do list. Here's all the stuff we completed:

• Went Christmas shopping and brought home a sizable haul
• Made a meal plan
• Went grocery shopping
• Got a haircut
• Moved all of the Christmas decor upstairs from the garage
• Put up and trimmed our tree
• Wrapped presents

Pretty productive day. Today will be less so, but still pretty productive:

• Get breakfast
• Go to church
• Help mother-in-law put up tree
• Bring presents over to her house

So I'm counting this as my weekend post. I don't think I will be posting daily. I think every few days will be more interesting. I will only post when something of interest occurs or I have an actual to-do list.

Day 32

Class tonight. That's about it. We will have a busy weekend of Christmas shopping and tree decorating and all things holidacious. Hopefully I will finish the inks on all of the pages of my preview for my comic.

Day 31

It was the end of the month, but not very stressful. It started like it was going to insane, but I got some helpfrom a coworker in the deburring department, and she was a big help. The end of the month always makes me nervous since I got written up for shipping 2 pieces of a certain part to Boeing instead of 3 pieces. Now I have end-of-month anxiety. Tonight I will:

• Clean the kitchen after dinner
• Clear off my nightstand (it's a dumping ground for me)
• Blog
• Guest blog on my wife's blog
• Try to blog on my comic book blog
• Spent 20 minutes inking my comic
• Watch Restaurant Impossible

I'd like to do some research into caffeine. I know it can lead to anxiety and nervousness, but I want to see how it interacts with the sedating anti-anxiety supplements I take.

Day 30

Happy one-month anniversary to ADDiary! What a day to have a learning disability! I tried to log into the website for the community college that I'm trying to go back to, but frustration took over when I ran into login issues and then an overall lack of understanding of the process. It's been really tough. It's bringing back many of the terrible debilitating memories I have of the first time I did this 7 years ago. My wife and I have the 8th off from work for a holy day of obligation, so we will go to Front Range together and try to figure out what's going on.

• Go online and register for class#@&*!#!
• Work on inks instead
• Watch Chopped
• Go to bed and have nightmares about someday having to watch my children struggle is ADD

On a lighter note, I came across this Wiki article about Hunter Vs Farmer Theory. Basically it tells me that I am so evolved that I have developed a genetic mutation that enables me to have certain advantages in the hunter/gathering activities of my daily life. Terrific.

Day 29

Tonight I have resigned myself to just sitting down and doing. I'm great at planning to do things, but they never get started. then I just say "Well, now it's so late." So tonight I will:

• Clean up kitchen after dinner
• Log into school email and actually sign up for some classes
• Pencil page 8 of the comic
• Relax, have some tea, and get to bed at a decent hour

Yesterday, my order of theanine powder came in from purebulk.com. I've discovered it's cheaper to get inositol from Swanson rather than purebulk.com. I can get an 8oz(227g) can of inositol powder from Swanson for $10.99, and it's significantly more expensive on purebulk, but the theanine is only available in pill form, which is a much smaller quantity as the raw powder. The only think I order from purebulk is the theanine. I get the rest of my supplements from Swanson.

Again, I have found what works for me to relieve anxiety without taking SSRI's and other such anti-anxiety drugs. If you are on a drug regimen, the advice of your doctor is the foremost informed.

Day 28

Today, I told myself that I was on lockdown so I could get some pages done on my comic. Well, after I finished the inks on one page, my Castlevania cravings took over. So I got about an hour of inking done, and about three hours of useless gaming done. Oh well. I posted on my comics blog as well, so I was a little productive. When I get one more page done on my comic, I am lettering and posting my preview. It will be black and white, but at least it will be something to sate the fans...once I get fans. I've also got to figure out how I want to publish it. I think a weekly page webcomic is the best idea.
