Itās a laid back Wednesday. I went to therapy and am now out at the state library browsing the forum. Itās a beautiful day. Iām halfway through my movie, Miss Granny. Sometimes when I try to challenge myself, I fail miserably. So instead of obsessing about work, Iām just going to enjoy my free time.

I was in the Marines (and the Navy) for over 20 years so I have spent a lot of time in the Middle East. Both jobs pay about the same which is about twice as much as I am making now but housing in Hawaii is really expensive and I am sure in Afghanistan housing would be provided by the contractor so I would put a lot more money in my pocket.
Something to think about though.

Hey Monte. Glad you are doing well.
Whatās your favorite vape juice? Iām trying a 6mg Purple Watermelon by Vape Cocktail. Waiting for my new Smok to charge. My first Smok fell in the darn sink so Iām going to be much more careful with this one.

PF Changās for dinner and Cold Stone for dessert. All the restaurants around my hotel are high dollar. Hopefully I am getting a lot of per diem for this trip.
The cafeteria at work for lunch is expensive too and the food isnāt that good.
I passed a Brazilian steakhouse on the way here. Have to hit that over the weekend.

Tomorrow I get an MRI to see if I have a tumor in my head.
Could use some prayers if you believe in that kind of thing.

I am not a member of any religion but I will pray for you.
I hope your test will come with good results.
I recently had a scan for cancer and thought I was dying but no cancer was detected.
I had ovarian cancer and survived.
I know a man who had brain cancer and survived.
Hopefully you will not have anything but will get help if you have symptoms or head aches.

Thanks guys I appreciate it.
The hospital said it would take 24 hours to get the results.
I was hoping they could tell me right after if there was anything visible.

Whatās a kub ultrasound for?
Never mind I looked it up, hope the results are negative.
Sounds like many of us have other problems than sz/sza.

so when I went to my pdoc appt yesterday my pdoc mentioned she thinks im sza not sz. I donāt know about that, maybe without meds im naturally sza that seems accurate to me, but really my moods are not a concern, I just fear the return of psychosis. was worse than being a little up and down mood wise. she also asked me about stigma. I told her I donāt think about it much because I donāt go out much, donāt work, and just generally donāt think about it. then she said prescribing meds is the best she can do. she said sheās not smart enough to figure out a cure but suggested in the future that maybe there would be gene therapy as a cure.
When I first retired from the Marines I was sick and unstable as hell and I talked to some guy on the phone. Never met anyone but they just hired me after a phone call. I was taking to like 4 or 5 people on the phone though.
They offered me a job in Afghanistan working for the Army and said they were going to pay me $200,000 to $275,000 a year. Every three months you got to fly home for 14 days. That was probably in late 2012 or early 2013.
I was unstable as hell. I took a stressful job not long after that in 2013 in California. They offered me $90,000 a year. I lasted 6 weeks at that job. The government was still really messing with my head then and I got paranoid and psychotic on the job. Had to quit. My supervisor was intentionally aggravating my symptoms and he nearly put me in the hospital. When I quit they said I had to give 30 days notice and I said no you donāt understand. I quit today. I drove all the way from California to Texas psychotic as hell. This was after I spent about 3 hours in my apartment waiting for the government to come and get me. I was convinced they were coming. I was so bad then. Still didnāt think I was sick though. Itās a long story. I am better now.
That company has a lot of jobs in my field and I have probably applied with them 6 times in the last year. They wonāt touch me. Now that I am stable I would love to land another six figure salary. I am thinking about sending them a message on Facebook telling them I am good now.
