Starting a new exercise routine is going to require more time to rest, and I’m not trying to do anything big right now, just put myself in the best position I can before the new baby. With that I’m also trying to get into the VA at my new location, everything with the VA is a pain and in my opinion it’s designed that way because otherwise there would be too many people using their benefits. They already can’t keep up with the number of people that make it through, I could see online at my local VA the current wait was 61 days for a new patient to be seen. We tried to register online with no luck and that interaction took a lot out of me. The purpose of the organization is to help people, they know there’s a problem with how they work, and something as simple as making an appointment is not possible. I’m young and fairly tech savvy, there have got to be millions of people who can’t even log in because while they can’t make it easier to schedule an appointment, they will reset my password every 30 days and create new log in portals every couple months. Interacting with the VA is like banging my head against the wall and leaves me with a headache. Other than that I’ve got my oldest brother visiting the castle tonight and had to record the podcast yesterday as Thursday night is the usual recording time. They’ll only be here a short period of time which is fine and maybe I’ll get to go fishing. I have a memory of dealing with a hook in a fishes mouth as a kid, but other than that I don’t think I’ve ever done any fishing. Spending time in nature and around water is always nice though.
