February 2024 Journal
So, after taking a look at my journal, I found a few things I will need to focus on for February:1- I spent too much time on YouTube at work, and not enough writing;2- I don't exercise enough;3- I am almost done with my list of PixaiDiffusion(CG) pictures;4- I finished playing my Steam games;5- Oatmeal and apples are not enough to keep me sustained at work.6- Three night shifts' worth of energy drinks cost about 10$ (since I usually buy a cookie at the same time). This means that if I can buy GamerSupps instead (or something the sort), I can probably save money. I will have to check at the local Popeyes' Supplements for the best option.7- Given that I don't really know what I want to play in "Master Duel" that can get me to Master Rank, I will have to check what the next pack (which will show up in a week) will have.So, this means that I should focus on writing, exercise and work, as well as find better options to eat at work.-------DAY 1-------- Recyclables and trash duty- Made two beds- Day 4 of Oatmeal test- Starting weight for the month: 190.0 pounds- Will need to buy new slippers and magnesium pills- One load of laundry- Dumbbell exercisesAnalysis:a) Buying a 72-scoop tub of G7 pre-workout (86.30$, tax included) will last me 24 weeks, which will save me around 120 dollars in the long-run. During a year, it would cost me two tubs (172.60$) instead of 450$ for energy drinks in cans, so that's almost 280$ saved.b) Might need to find more things I can save on so that I can save enough money to upgrade my computer... though the warmer-than-usual winter has not caused it to crash as much.c) Given the new month, I can calculate exactly how many Gems I get in Master Duel:- Starting amount: 5170 gems- 29 x 145 (daily missions) + 30 (one bonus every month): 4235 gems- Monthly event: 3100 gems- Total amount possible this month (excluding random victory rewards): 12,505 gems------------------DAYS 2, 3, 4 and 5------------------To do:- Three night shifts, so:a) Nap before and after work;b) Leave the G7 tub in my locker at work;c) Finish Oatmeal test;d) Take time to write;e) Take shower before first shift and after last shift;f) Finish laxatives (and stop using them!);g) Finish daily "Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel" missions before 1 PM EST-------DAY 6-------- Done two beds- Got food prep done for work- Weight: 189 pounds- Checked videos on Fantasy Writing- Posted pictures- Two loads of laundryAnalysis:- Tried playing "The Mergest Kingdom" at work. I don't even know why I'm doing this, other than to do something. - I feel like boredom is hurting me more than fatigue- I couldn't bring myself to keep my personal stuff at work, as one of my USB cables had been previously stolen- Slept 9.5 hours, yet still felt tired. Feels like days without some level of caffeine start with little-to-no energy.- Will try a different test at work: Built protein bars.-------DAY 7-------- Done my bed- Did the groceries- One load of laundry- Tested picture formatsAnalysis: A pretty bad day...- Spending too much time on "The Mergest Kingdom"- Ended up buying a can of a new brand of caffeine-infused juice- Did not sleep well- Argued with theunholyborn over a comment- Still spent too much on Master Duel-------DAY 8-------- Done two beds- Two loads of laundry- 30 minutes of stationary bike- Helped with groceries- Took a shower, washed my hair and shavedAnalysis:- Bad night of sleep. Woke up at 2am, slept lightly for 90 minutes before switching beds- C4 pre-workout leaves me feeling itchy, and taking too much magnesium... had side effects- Mixed two parts Ghost pepper sauce and one part salsa this morning on my eggs: the burn lasted only a minute or two... but ended up with bowel issues during the afternoon.- Weight went back up.

Will have to test next week.--------DAY 13--------- Slept 10 hours, woke up tired- One tablespoon of Ghost Pepper sauce mixed with two of salsa still causes issue, albeit less- Taking C4 pre-workout left me feeling itchy all day.
