I can’t believe I’ve lasted this long “sans” beef or chicken. I told my nurse I was becoming a pescatarian and she thought I was changing religion. So let’s see if I can keep this up 18 more days. If I can save a few chickens and a couple of cows from going to slaughter then I would’ve accomplished what I set out to do.

This weekend was good. My father got on his cooking kick and served a lot of fish for dinner. It was great. I got to work out on the yard which I’ve missed for the past 6 months. I even played tennis with DD. Over all not a bad weekend for fitness. 

I caught up with facebook today and I saw a lot of my old classmates on there. Wow, how we’ve all changed. Everyone is just getting older. How depressing. I’m hoping we don’t have a reunion. Being 70 pounds heavier than high school just doesn’t sit well with me.

I was reading CNN this weekend and got throughly depressed. It wasn’t on a global level. I wasn’t really worried about world affairs because we are all adults and we ultimately make our own choices. I was sad for the children. I realize we are in a recession but why does it have to involve the children. I’ve read too many stories lately of fathers killing his whole family because of some major stressor. Job, marriage, homelife, whatever. If someone wants to off himself because he couldn’t handle the pressure, why take the family with you? I get so angry at these stories. Then I begin to wonder. Just as some women go through postpartum psychosis and do harm to their babies, do men have the same type of psychosis when under a tremendous amount of stress? Maybe extreme stress for men can trigger the same tendencies as in postpartum psychosis. I’m not sure, I just wish someone would find a cure for it.
