Tanked up on black coffee, then puffed away on a cigarette.
Sang Happy Birthday to my step-daughter over the phone, first thing in the morning.

Have fun at the arboretum. Sounds like fun!
My day doesn’t really get started till around two pm. I wak at 5 or 6am, get my son ready for school and take him then I go back to bed till about 1 or 2 to let the orphenadrine wear off. The stormy weather in the UK has meant that my dogs haven’t been out for three days. In the garden but not over the forest. So far today I’ve put a wash on, put a dry on, banned my mouthy daughter from seeing her boyfriend for a week, did some shopping and put on a chicken casserole. Should b ready in about two hours. I need also to tidy and Hoover my room and change my bed…my son also needs to do his room and my daughter hers.
Walked to Subway and got a footlong for $5 for breakfast + am saving half for lunch.

How did you like the water exercise class?? I find those classes are usually pretty easy and not to difficult but every class can be different. I’ve always wanted to take like true workout class in swimming. I think i would enjoy it.
My sis teaches a shallow water class that uses more equipment for resistance. Like the HUGE delta bells and no float belts. She encourages people to at least chest deep or more so you get more resistance. When I pay attention and do the class for real… It’s a good work out. It’s one of those that you feel it the day after. If I’m just being silly and don’t put that much effort in, It’s too easy.
Today was a new pool at the Arboretum and I LOVE the view out across the park, through the trees and onto the water and the old 1950’s deco style on the place and I was taking in the scenery more then working my butt off this time. But other people liked her class.

Sounds nice! I want to start swimming again but it’s so wintery right now. I keep putting it off.
Yesterday I did a chest routine with an old buddy back home from winter break (we’ve been working out and hanging out afterwards every day) then we watched anime and ate a korean dinner (he’s korean) and today I woke up early, got grumpy and took a nap, now im catching up with high school friends on break, having a couple guys over

For some reason, even if my head isn’t up for it, my body needs it. I’m a gangly guy and the knees and back need the water to keep working. Actually, I’ve always felt safe in the water for some reason and underwater is so quiet and calm. Swimming is one simple pleasure that SZ never took away from me.

So yesterday…
Took my meds, made it through on Two cigarettes.
Went swimming
Played in the park, fed koi and ducks.
Realized I needed to shave again since a person complimented me on my “daughter’s” good H2O class. I didn’t think I looked that old.
Cooked more a meal all by myself and only burnt one pan. I’ll get better.
My sis made me try on a lot of my clothing and get rid of the stuff that doesn’t fit or is too ripped up to save.
She did the same.
So today…
Took my meds,
Have decided to get my phone number changed and find an answering machine that has caller I.d.
My sis has a Sunday Adventure planned, only I don’t know what it is.
Going to try some meditation and read a good book.
Get everything I need for school tomorrow ready and laid out.
You should get a cell phone and just use that.
goals today nothing much really. I’m starting back to work tomorrow. My job is really easy though. It’s actually really mainly boring but it works and it’s stress free. i might try cleaning my room.
I’m not talking to my one sister much anymore. I just got a negative vibe from her a lot.
.
It’s hard when you realize that you and a sibling will never really patch it up. Hopefully your niece can see through your sisters comments. My brother of one year younger and I don’t mesh at all. He’s the “successful” one. But he’s a miserable wreck I’ve come to find out. His kids don’t really respect him. He would say the same sort of thing to his kids… “You don’t want to be a loser like your Uncle James” I was told by my sis that his kids don’t think much of their Dad for picking on a sick man. My sister-in-law lets me hang out with the kids and they’re cool to me. That brother is going through something dark… I would love to be there for him, but there’s just too much negativity to repair yet.
I’ve got my two other brothers still with me and my sis so, maybe in time, maybe not. The journey is not over.
that’s nice that at least his kids like you and understand!! it sounds like he doesn’t have it together. so that at least can make you feel it’s not you it’s him. 
But that’s okay because i still have a lot of goals that i want to do. i am 4 years psychotic free AND my goal is to get off disabillity at the end of the year with the approval of my doctor. I’m going to try and convince him. He kind of rolled his eyes when i mentioned it last time. LOL
