Chernaudi's blog and random stuff...

[*Chernaudi]

Hi everyone.

This hasn't been a happy day for me.  I've decided that there's a few changes that I'd like to make in my life.  I'll be getting rid of some of the things that irritate me and tomorrow I might see about getting some counseling over some stuff that's bothering me.  

I just woke up cranky and anxious today and it hasn't really gotten better.  I'm thinking of leaving some forums and stuff that I'm not getting anything out of, and focusing more on things that are important to me where I know that no one won't attack me for having my own thoughts and feelings.  

Also, I'm probably going to seek out counseling soon because I'm really starting to get irritated about not hanging out with people and not dating and stuff.  

So that's my day.  I can only hope that tomorrow will be better.

Hi everyone.

I hoped for a better day today, but it didn't happen.  The only good thing that came out of today is that I should now be able to get some counseling at work.  Other than that, I was a wreck all day, and I'm still extremely frustrated and tired.  

I have an outing tomorrow and I hope to be able to enjoy it.  But that's sort of doubtful right now.

I'll be back later.

Hi everyone.

I actually had a pretty good day today.  I went to COSI in Columbus and the Spaghetti Warehouse that was nearby.  If you live near a Spaghetti Warehouse, try it!  You won't go home disapointed if you love Italian food.

I guess I just needed a break in routine to perk up my spirits, though I'll still purse counseling and seeing what my doctor can do with medication and such.

Hi everyone.

This is gonna be a long post, so I hope that doesn't scare anyone away from reading it.

This has been a trying week for me.  It started off decently, then everything went to crap on Tuesday and Wednesday, though they did improve on Thursday and Friday.  

I'll hopefully start my counseling next Thursday and hopefully things will start to get a little better.  I'm tired of the seemingly placebo effect that the medications that I've been on have been having and the lack of progress with my current regimen.  Hopefully a new counselor and trying to sort out my problems will lead to some actual progress soon.  

At least I have an outing on Tuesday, dinner with an old friend on Thursday, and the new Audi unveiling coming on the 28th to look forward to, even if the latter is 3 weeks away.

Other than that, I've mostly washed dishes today and looked up a few things online.  I'll probably try and sneak in a nap before I relieve some stress through gaming.

I'll be back later

Hi everyone.

It's back to work for me tomorrow.  At least today was a decent day.  I'm kinda impatient about some of the more interesting things that I'll be doing soon happening.  

I'll be spending the rest of the night looking up some stuff online and maybe some gaming.  I'm also thinking of asking my counselor about something to help with my energy, since I've been more tired than I want to be recently.

I'll be back later

Hi everyone.

The news from Paris is pretty disheartening.  I do hope that those who have brought evil upon the innocent get what they deserve in the end.

Aside from that tempering my mood, the past couple of days have been pretty good.  Counseling went great on my first day, though I won't be going back until the start of the next month (I'm scheduled every other Thursday right now, and because of Thanksgiving, that's another week in between).  I also had Japanese hibachi last night, too.  It's a bit pricey (granted, I didn't pay--it was a friend's treat), but it was pretty good.  

I also breezed though a lot of stuff at work today and now I'll use the weekend to catch up on some stuff that I haven't gotten to because of being busy.

Hi everyone.

 

I've had a busy few days. Tomorrow is the WEC season finale, the band Liana has a new video coming out, and next Saturday, Audi are supposed to be announcing something about their 2016 Le Mans/WEC plans.

 

At least things will wind down for a couple of days after tomorrow in the run up to Thanksgiving.

Hi everyone.

Well, Audi made a good shot of it in Bahrain.  Both cars lead, one had brake problems, but the other finished second after an unscheduled stop for a loose wheel.  That car's drivers nearly won the drivers' championship after the #17 Porsche ran into troubles, but it wasn't quite enough--they had to win to snatch the title.

But still a good way to end the season and they're reportedly going to show their 2016 Le Mans LMP1 car next Saturday.

Also, if someone wants to do a sensual, romantic music video that's not over done, check out this music video by Liana:

Hi everyone.

I hope that you liked the Liana video.  And there's more happy news for me.  I might not have to wait until Saturday to see Audi's new Le Mans and WEC challenger.  Reportedly, the 2016 spec Audi R18 will be testing at Sebring in south Florida within the next few days.

Other than that, I don't have a lot going on aside from getting ready for Thanksgiving.

I'll be back later

Hi everyone.

Tomorrow is my final day at work before Thanksgiving and I've gotten almost everything done that I need to get done before then.

Also, Friday will be my birthday, then Saturday, Audi will be showing their new R18 Le Mans car, so I have some stuff to look forward too after tomorrow.

I'll be back later

Hi everyone.

Well, it's Thanksgiving tomorrow, my birthday on Friday, and the Audi unveiling on Saturday.

So Happy Thanksgiving everyone.  I probably won't post again until sometime tomorrow night due to Thanksgiving dinner.  I only have to clean off the kitchen table and a couple of other things before tomorrow morning.

I'll be back later

Belated happy Thanksgiving but happy birthday Chernaudi, hope you'd a nice good food coma yesterday and will have another great day today.

[*Chernaudi]

Hi everyone.

 

Thanks for the birthday wishes.

I'm not feeling too well right now and I'm probably going to lay down for a while.

 

But at least I got to see this today:

Hi everyone.

First, some not so great news.  I feel like I might have stomach flu right now.  I hope that it clears up by morning so I can go into work.

Good news is that I found an article with specs and photos of the Audi R18 for 2016 that's actually from a website, so you don't have to have a Facebook account or a forum account to see it, though more detailed photos are at Audi Media Center:

Hi everyone.

This week was pretty good.  Today, for instance, I made my own personal turkey dinner with a turkey breast and mashed potatoes and gravy.

I don't have much planned for the rest of tonight aside from doing some dishes and stuff like that.

Also, Audi will be testing the new R18 next week in Florida, so I have that to look forward to next week.

Hi everyone.

I finally finished off my turkey that I made over the weekend I'm making some mozzarella sticks right now.

I also have some videos of Audi testing at Sebring, too:

I head back to work tomorrow and things are going fine right now.

Hi everyone.

I wasn't really up to much today.  However, here's an album of what Audi have tested at Sebring:

These are the few images that have gotten out of Sebring of the Audi test, and these aren't my photos as noted in the album.

Hi everyone.

I went to a Christmas party yesterday and I've been reconnecting with an old friend from school for the past couple of days.

I also just found this photo online:

Other than that, I haven't really been up to doing much.

Hi everyone.

This week was pretty busy with work and remodeling going on at out house.  So I haven't spent a ton of extra time online and not been able to write in.  

But everything's going pretty since since the housework got done.  All I have to do is wash a few dishes tonight, including some that my mom will look at to see what'll be kept or donated.

Other than that, not much has happened, such as my books I ordered off Amazon not arriving yet.  It seems that they'll be here anytime between now and Jan. 5th.

I'll be back later

[*Chernaudi]

Hi everyone.

At least my work week's over and all I have to do is a few things to get ready for Christmas tomorrow.  I've gotten most of my books that I ordered from Amazon and I don't have much to do aside from clean off the sink tonight.

At least the weather's good considering what time of year it is.  It could be a whole lot worse.

I probably won't be online again until late tomorrow, so Merry Christmas and I hope that everyone's holiday celebrations go well

Hi everyone.

The other night I made a pork roast, and it turned out so well that I'm making a couple of mini-turkeys (basically boneless turkey breast that are melded together to make a turkey breast loaf) tonight, possibly also with mashed potatoes and rolls.  For new years eve, I'll probably be making a pot roast like the pork roast from the other night.

They basically come in a thing that has the roast, vegetables and seasoning in one big kit that you still have to make from scratch, but it does save you from having to track down everything in the store to make that roast.  Then it's just put it in the slow cooker and basically set it and forget it until it's done as you like it.  Those things are also pretty good for making soups, too.  Just add noodles and maybe some extra water.  

I have work tomorrow and then I'm off for New Years.

I'll be back later

Hi everyone.

This is how I celebrated New Years Eve 15 years ago:

I do plan on making a pot roast at some point tonight, but other than that, I'm tired, my hip, leg, back and neck hurt, and I just hope that I'll be better by Monday.

I'm really feeling like crap right now. Frustrated and depressed about a lot of things right now. If anyone wants to talk to me about it, PM me.

[*Chernaudi]

Hi everyone.

I'm not doing a ton better today than I was yesterday.  I'm still depressed and anxious, and on top of that, I've basically been sick since Sunday.  I was hoping that Sunday was a fluke deal, but now I think that I'm starting to get either a cold or flu.

Thus, I'm glad that I at least don't have to go to work until Thursday.  I have an outing with a friend tomorrow, but I don't know how much I'll be able to do between being sick and it being too cold to really be worth doing anything.

So I'm still frustrated by a lot of things.  Work has been a drag lately, so has my life outside of work.  Just bored, depressed and sick right now and have been since this weekend.

[*Chernaudi]

Right now I'm trying to fill out a job application, which probably won't get done until Monday because I need a couple of references. I'll have to finish it at work, and it's for basically a "promotion" where my job becomes a real position with Richland Newhope. At least that's one bright spot that's happening right now.

 

Yesterday was the first really decent day I had this year since New Years Day. I just really hope that something good comes out of this stuff I'm doing with my job application now.
