I just realized last night that it was almost exactly four years ago to the day that I was having surgery on my Achilles. How insane is that? Four years ago. I was 240 lbs, almost 100 heavier than I am now, my wife just coming off of surgery of her own, just moved into a new house, started a new job, and having my leg sliced open. Amazing how much can change in four years. Am I happier? Am I sadder? Are things really different? Yes, yes, and yes. I think I am a better person now than I was then. I think I am a lot more lonely these days, but also much better at realizing when things are wrong and acting more appropriately instead of just shoving booze down my throat.

Here it is Memorial Day. Honestly it doesn't mean anything to me personally. I am thankful for all soldiers who gave their lives to defend our country, but I have never lost anyone in the military, nor served myself. It is a day off work and that's about it.

So what did I do yesterday...

Big fat nothing is about it. The laundry machine here at my apartment which you use to buy credits has been down since Saturday and I haven't been able to get laundry done which is driving me up a wall. I am hoping it will be fixed before I have to go out of town on Wednesday afternoon. Reality check -- in three days my little girl graduates from high school and moves in. Whoa. Mind blower.

Did a little grocery shopping and I do mean a little as I don't want things going bad while I am out of town. Had a steak for dinner with some cottage cheese and a baked potato. Watched some movies on netflix -- Wild at Heart. Don't care what anyone says, loves me some Nicky Cage. Oh the biggest thing I did yesterday was organize my books ONCE MORE on my Kindle. But this time I decided to go at it a little differently. Before copying the files over, I am organizing them on my computer, loading them in the desktop Kindle application and making sure the names and everything are clean. I want to finish that up this morning to have it ready for the week. I am supposed to go shopping with a friend today in the city, let's see if that happens. As of right now, I am not motivated enough to really do anything.
