I've had to say goodbye to carbonated beverages. I butted heads with my new boss. J got in an accident. Trying to stick with my disciplines. Work will help me if I go down again.

It's been three weeks since my bariatric sleeve surgery and it's time for some humorous updates. You wouldn't think it but pureed food can be tasty. NeiR: Automata won't let me save. I've lost enough weight to be able to do things I haven't been able to do in a while.

I'm two weeks out from my bariatric surgery so let's talk about transitioning from my liquid-only diet to my pureed diet. I'm talking bananas, mashed potatoes, baby food and more. A sweet high-school bacon bit memory. I was on narcotics in the hospital and saw things I'll never see again. Enjoy!

Yay 200 episodes! (Finally!)

A late, short update about where I am this week. Nothing fancy. Nothing entertaining. Just me and a mic and my crap.
