Sunday Salon Sept 20 2015

Hi, Everyone! It is the middle of September! I blinked and the year has flown by! I am back from my visit with my parents in KY. I gained 14 pounds during my month in the south. Lord have mercy. Back to Weight Watchers I go. I really don’t like meat so Paleo wasn’t working out. I am hoping Weight Watchers will work well also. We shall see.

I have been reading the book SUPERBETTER. I had pre-ordered it but only got around to it last week. It has so much good advice that it is slow going cause I am always taking notes. I had played the game before, but this has spurred me to try it again as I feel I did not give it a fair chance before. I got some friends to be allies and I have been playing it a week and I have to admit that it has helped. With my bipolar I often feel like I have no need to get out of bed, but this game as I have quests to do encourages me to get out of bed on those days when I would rather just hide out.

My current obsession is the panda cam by the National Zoo. I could spend hours watching mommy panda take care of cute little cubbie. I even downloaded the app. heh. Gotta support the pandas.

I have also watched the complete season of Firefly this week. I LOVE that show so much. I broke down and got Amazon Prime and Netflix. I watch on my Roku on my tv. I found a lot of shows that I can’t wait to watch.

After reading Superbetter, I am thinking about returning to my gamer self. I used to play games A LOT. World of Warcraft mostly. I played so much that I once melted my hard drive in a laptop. Luckily Dell replaced it free of charge. haha, Then I people convinced me that I shouldn’t be so…nerdy and well.. I fell out of the habit. I am thinking that is the wrong thing to do. There are a lot of benefits to playing games. Plus I love them. I don’t drink. smoke or do any of that so I am entitled to SOMETHING right? RIGHT?

I downloaded WOW again and holy shit it took 14 hours for all the content to download. I suck at the moment, but I am hoping that I will get better. Next I will try Minecraft. I seem to love computer games more than console games. I am not sure why this is.

So this is me going back to my nerdy self. At this point in life, I really don’t care what people think. As long as I am happy that is all that matters.
