Its funny how things in life suddenly swing around.
For most of this year, nothing really happened in my life, plans werent panning out and it all was kind of turning to shit.
At the end of last week however, things suddenly picked up.
Starting saturday/sunday: Im playing poker again, properly, and have put in some decent volume the last few days, although my results are a little shitty, but I feel im playing well. Properly rolled and playing NL25, which is where i was very comfortable before, hopefully i can make a little bit of cash and some good rakeback. Volume was always the problem before so I hope i don't burn out. Ive played about 13k hands in the last 3 days, 12 tabling. It was great for the first 10k or so, but the last 3k didnt go as well. I think im gonna adjust so i get up at like 8am NZ team which would be 8pm Euro time, and play then. Last 2 days have been an early AM session and an afternoon session and the tables were tight and there werent as many Russians stacking off free money.
Aswell as that, as you know I went to the Psychiatrist on Saturday, it was probably over a month since my last psychologist visit and then they forgot to book an appointment with me, so i went and had that 2 hour session and got some medication.
Then monday, I followed up about a 2nd job interview I had nearly 2 weeks before. I thought it went really well but was a little surprised and anxious when after over a week I still hadnt heard anything. So i called her up to see what was going on, and right then and there we got everything locked.
Next week i go in to sign my contract, 25th I will start part-time at the existing store doing my training and learning whatever I need to, and then January 2nd the new store opens and i will be the Business Machines Specialist. So ill be in charge of the computers/hardware/phones section of the store.
The pay is alright, good for an entry level position, and its one of the biggest retailers in NZ so in the future i should have plenty of opportunity to progress if I wish, or move locations etc.
So now, Im back to being a normal person from the unemployed gaming shut-in that ive been for the last 8 months this year.
Im working on losing weight too, after 3 weeks I had lost 3kgs. Ive slacked a little with my exercise the last few days because of weather and all the other stuff happening. My current goal is to weigh less than 100kgs by December 11th, which will be 2 months after I started.
Other stuff:

I am not sure if you've mentioned tools for organizing yourself and your time better.. Like keeping a calendar etc to stay on task for longer term things. You doing any outside medication type stuff?
Not really at the moment. I do write a lot more down now. I have a pen and paper on my desk and write either ideas, funny things i think about, things/details i need to remember.
Since there isnt much need for a routine in my life, I havent really worked on making one. The only routine ive been doing is regular exercise everyday (more or less)
Also:
Why arent Roasts more popular?
I had never heard about them until the death of Greg Giraldo, when everyone was mourning a funny man I had never heard of. Theres an amazing mix of people who are absolutely hilarious and people who are absolutely terrible (see Situation).
and lots of B-list celebrities willing to let people rip them to pieces.
Jeff Ross is by far my favourite. I could watch him roast people all day. He walks that fine line so well between being really really funny and being too mean.
When i watched these 2 performances for the first times, i was laughed start to finish.
AND FINALLY:
I made these so long ago, but afaik i never posted them, so here we go:
This next one was in reference to that Poker/MMA Combination thing that was meant to happen, I cant even remember the details of it, but this is Mig at the FT.

nice dude, sorta sounds like my year, just started putting in some volume again and got new job. good luck in your grind!
surprised mig went with hammer house. daily routine of steroids and powerlifting gets you lookin jacked but always ends up in an armbar or kimura. he always struck me as more of a greg jackson or chute box kinda guy.

Calendars: I started using one recently (2 weeks) and it has definitely proved useful even with my relatively slow schedule schedule (just schoolwork atm). I gave it a shot because it was recommended in a good book, plus I had heard enough people speak very highly of their calendar IRL to convince me to give it a shot.
lol it has already gotten me to do some chores that I put off ridiculously long.. I just carry forward things that I miss until I get sick of seeing it and go do it
roasts:
I dunno, roasts are always kind of uncomfortable for me.. maybe more people feel the same.
