Aggressive, Update, Gluttony pays off, Pain through pills

Lately I have noticed a tad more aggression in my everyday existence, especially in driving.  I seem to have very little patience on the road which has not been the norm the last 10 years or so.  Since getting Tesla’s I used to be content to turn on Autopilot and stay in one lane, allowing the car to maintain the lane, speed and distance.  Now I am feeling quickly frustrated if I am behind a vehicle that is going the speed limit or only barely above it.  I instantly am looking for pathways around them.  Now I am not doing stupid aggressive behavior like tailgating or cutting vehicles off with a foot to spare but for me, there is a definite change.  To break down exactly why that is would probably take more time than I am willing to commit here.

Last night I shot a quick update video outlining how my path has progressed since I shot a video on New Years Day announcing that I was selling my house.  It would be very difficult to document all of the twists and turns that have taken place since then but the 10,000 foot version is, a lot of shit has gotten done.  With as fast as time flies nowadays I will be moving into my new place before you know it.  Speaking of moving I got my first quote from a moving company and it was just to move all of the significant furniture.  It was not cheap but I may decide to go that route while I can focus on moving smaller things and boxes myself.  I have a bit of time before I have to commit.

It seems like my gluttony has been paying off.  Last night the scale read 179lbs and change which is right around where I would like to be.  Now I need to taper back the eating to a level where I can hold this body weight.  It will be a bit of a trial and error thing requiring regular visits to the scale.

Yesterday I had yet another skin cancer surgery, this time removing a basal cell spot behind the right ear.  I have had so many skin surgeries it’s old hat.  I now have a long stitch line behind the ear, much longer than the spot of cancer, which is normal.  That area of your head does not have a lot of loose skin so it had to be pulled pretty tight.  Once the numbing injections wore off it started stinging.  I took Tylenol during the night to take the edge off the pain.

Because of the location it made sleeping challenging as I sleep on my back.  Despite taking two Unisom tablets I had a very restless night of sleep as any pressure on the incision area was painful.  Today I have the bandages off and am just tasked with keeping the stitches well lubricated with Neosporin, allowing the rest of the world to see my Frankenstein-like stitches.
