Correction and Update

The doctors office called, everything is fine except my cholesterol is high. They said, "your cholesterol levels are elevated, we want you to start medications." I said, "Nooooo, tell the Doctor i respectfully decline." No diet changes, no acknowledgment of my earlier objection, just buy some pharms.

I don't feel like going over my objections to statins, I'll just say that there has never been any proof that lowering the cholesterol levels actually increases a persons life span. In fact there more support that the side effects are substantial enough that possibly the net is negative. Yet they try to put everyone on them. It's a mystery. There are entire orgs devoted to debunking this scam.

Correction time. I said earlier that I live on about $100/mo for groceries while on the lo-carb diet. I did some math and I was understating, it's closer to 150/mo. I spend less than 100 at the grocery store but I forgot about my monthly trip to Sams Club.

While looking at my spending, I found that I spend roughly thirty bucks on my coffee. I'm not talking about Caribou, just grinding in home and flavorings. So today, I bought a cheap brand and will see if I can stomach that.

I had my first day in my new store. The store isn't new, just my experience in it. I now know why the last three people to work there quit. I'll see if I can do something different with it. If not I'll have to find a new job. I can't rot somewhere for another year.
