Old goals and new ones

I haven't been keeping much up in terms of this blog, nor the other
one, but this is largely due to the fact that... I'm lazy. I've also
done a lot more reading and watched a considerable amount of House
(the Medical Drama starring the caustic Hugh Laurie) since I was able
to procure season two from the Library. Freaky episode when he gets
shot. In retrospect, you almost wonder why no one had attempted to
shoot him before. Now that I ponder it, he got abused quite a bit in
the second season. I still think my favourite episode was the one the
had 'Matt' from Heroes guest star. Although the actor did appear as
the character from the Heroes series, he did a formidable job.
Caitlin and I kept saying that he should just read their minds and
quit asking them questions. In the end, turns out that if the doctors
were mind readers, it would have saved a lot of hassle. The six month
episode was very well done too, but I was sad the mom had to die.

In any case, I was going to mention the fact that I had a PPI with EQ
pres, and I made me realize that I need to take scripture study up
again. Really helps focus your thoughts, as does writing.

I'm not sure if writing actually helps focus thoughts, or if it's just
a matter that you can write something down, and clear up your head for
other things at hand. Goodness knows that's the only reason I'm doing
as well at my job as I am right now. I continually write reminders to
myself on Outlook to tell me to call people, fax things, and take out
the trash. I have a great memory, it's just a bit too much like a
sieve.

I also set a bunch of reminders on my cell phone. I used to do it with
iPaq, but I have realized of late that I usually always have my phone
with me. Plus, the alarm is louder. This has helped immensely in
recent days with reminding me to talk my meds. This was the thing
that tipped me off. If I can remember to take my meds each day, why
not dedicate time to study scriptures about that time? Take physical
meds, take spiritual meds. Works right? Not yet. Of the five days
I've had this goal, I've only done it once. Eighty percent failure
rate. Ouch. Well, I shouldn't be so hard on myself, because today is
the fifth day. I'm going to study up after I'm done here, and then
it's off to sleep. Waking up to fresh bread is great, but actually
sleeping is a great treat too.

I am so glad Caitlin convinced me to get that "Better Homes and
Gardens" Cookbook. I had no idea that there was bread maker receipes
in there!
