Picking Up Steam
So the weekend came and went and we are once again on the brink of another work week. At least I am anyway, being that my work week sort of starts of Monday. When you work seven days a week some weeks like I have been known to do, it’s not always easy to see a definitive start and end to the week. Though it might sound like it, I don’t complain. For the past few months, I’ve been putting in anywhere between 20 and 28 hours a week in overtime. It’s not that I’m necessarily a hard, or even dedicated, worker. I’m just that far behind in my work that I need to put it in the extra time to get things done and put a dent in my workload. I see it as being a part of my typical work week and indeed, it has become my current normal.
I didn’t do much gaming this week, but I finally got my Steam Deck set up. Now, if only I had the money to buy some games to really get that piece of hardware fully up and running. I had to create a Steam account from scratch this weekend, being that I had never played anything on PC. I have always been a console gamer, so as I see it, the Steam Deck would be my first foray into the world of PC gaming. With payday coming this week, I figure that I could buy a game or two for this thing and see how this gaming experience goes. I know that there’s a lot to do with the Steam Deck, but I’m taking things slowly and trying to figure things out at my own pace.
I don’t know what new games are releasing this month. I want to say, at least off the top of my head, that something of interest is coming out at the end of the month, but I couldn’t tell you what that game is. It is not coming to me. I don’t know. Must not be that important. I’ll have to research that at some point.
Last week, Serena realized that I was on Ozempic, even though I swore I had told her about this months ago. She had nothing to compare me to, in that when she had first met me, I was already in the midst of my weight loss journey and she had no idea what I looked like before. She told me that I should really keep an eye out for any changes in my body, how I feel, or anything health-wise that might seem out of sorts. She had heard in general that this medication can cause all kinds of problems and complications and I know that she was just looking out for me. She just wants me to be safe and I’ve always known this. I told her that the only side effect I ever experience would be the recurring nausea, which I’ve gotten used to and kind of like. I can’t explain why I like it, but I do. I’ve been on this medication since August 2022. Serena and I first crossed paths in January 2023. In thinking about it further, I am of the mindset that if I were to ever experience any serious kind of health problem from Ozempic, I don’t think I would tell Serena. I’d hate for her to worry about me and I think this could send her into a frenzy, the likes of which I don’t think I’d want to see. This isn’t arrogance talking either. I truly think she would worry and I don’t know if I’d want to do that to her.
That’s all I have for now. I figured I’d jot down a little something before the end of the weekend. With all the writing that I do for work, I don’t always have the time and energy to write in here. I would like to get back into writing here a little bit during the week, so we’ll how that goes.
Well, we’ll see how the coming week goes, in general.
