Knocked out a shit ton of hunting. Knocked out two jobs. Start a third tonight. Have three more to bid next week.

Hit one year no booze or coke this month. Last week I hit one year of consistently being in the gym, 3 days per week or more. The most dialed in I've been in 10 years time of lifting on and off again for 5+ years.

Think there's a correlation?

Just cleared out the last of my high interest debt this morning. Probably paid 11k on 4k borrowed over the last 15 months. (Loan was a no credit check, cash now. Do not recommend.) Payments were half of my monthly expenses. Was being too lazy about getting rid of this and it hurts but it's gone now.

Speaking of credit. I had no credit history the middle of this summer so my score was a 550. Up into the 700s as of last week. So that's neat.

All and all, October isn't quite over but I'm giving myself a big ol gold star.

First off, fuck the doctors. After insurance my labs were more than the cash price. All my labs came back clean 3 weeks ago, still having issues. No call from the doctors. He thought i might be diabetic. I've decided from now on I'll just get a better screening from a lab company and go to cash doctor for prescriptions, if needed, from now on.

Barely worked OT this month but i started working side jobs the last two weeks. Putting in about 30 hours extra on those, to triple my weekly income.

Still not reading. Don't particularly have the time at the moment.

Keeping the girlfriend as she is actively working on it but we'll see how she handles ke working so much this next month.

Go duck hunting. It opener next weekend and I bought the gear I was missing this month in preparation and I'd like to get out 2-4/week during October.

She thinks it's her IUD as she's started bleeding and apparently hasn't for years. She set up an appointment for next week and has been much more conscious of her behavior. Apologizing almost instantly after she over reacts.

Not to excuse truly awful behavior, but keep in mind that women are absolutely ruled by their hormones and emotions.

My wife took birth control pills for most of her adult life, and went off of them when we got married. Roughly 10 years in, her hormones crashed out on her. She has to receive hormone therapy and occasionally adjust the amounts based on what they all do.

Most of your posts about her up until this thread seemed like your woman has been really good to you. I'd think you might want to give her a chance to straighten up before you end things over something she probably a) can't really help, and b) doesn't usually realize in the moment what's going on.

If it was just being directed at me, I'd assume she's getting lazy, dropping her mask as we exit the honeymoon phase. Her Mom, brother, even her boss and his fiancé have pointed it out. She's cried a few times in the middle of dinner because it's going to be awful.

Yeah, I'd get her to work with her healthcare provider on that.

She's been overly emotional the past few weeks. I finally said something after our camping trip. Snappy, defensive in casual conversation, constant comfort tests.

She seems to be actively trying to adress the issue but a man can only talk the same woman down off the ledge so many times before he goes, ahh fuck it, let her jump.
