    Thank you everyone for your kind advice.  My wife and I have come up with a plan to delegate some of the “chores” I do to the older kids.  This has really lightened my load and I am getting much better rest so that I can focus more on the outdoor work.  Baby boy is sleeping through the night and things are coming together.  Again I thank all of you for the wonderful advice.

    Hi Ashley,

    I love cooking.  I like searching youtube for different recipes and trying them out on my family.  When I have time and money, I like to go to stores of different nationalities such as Ethiopia, Mexican, Asian, etc. and see what kind of interesting spices and food they have.

    Hello Gia,

    My best friend and I would build a ramp and see how high and far we could jump our bikes.  Many a good memory…and epic bike wrecks…

    Hello Tartansky,

    I can say that I never had transcranial magnetic stimulation.  What is that all about?  Was your experience positive or negative?  I would like to see what you have to say.

    Hi Sia,

    Thank you for the two cents…I drink plenty of water and eat well.  Eat plenty of vegetables, greens, etc.  I really enjoy eating salads.  My diet is very diverse.  I get plenty of protein.  I east 1 to 2 eggs a day. (one of my favorite foods)  I eat chicken, beef, pork, and fish. I do not eat a lot of sweets. My weight is steady.  It may fluctuate 3-5 pounds if I am working extra hard. Appetite, bowel and bladder habits are normal.  I do how ever experience muscle soreness and stiffness, but that is due to the outdoor work I do.  I will adapt to the work as spring and summer goes on.  I take an occasional b-12, but not for awhile.  I sleep really good when I do sleep.  My sleep is interrupted though.  My wife and I are working on accommodating that.  I have always been a light sleeper.  I have not had a check up in a long while. I take my BP at home and it is in the normal range.  I live a life of all things in moderation.  Other than being a little over weight, I am good.  Now that I can get out and do things I am working on that too.  I just turned 54 and I feel pretty good about myself.  Thank you again for caring to respond.  I appreciate your interest.  I hope you have a great day!!

    Hello Anita,

    Coffee it is…since I am doing that already.  I am going to try some morning meditation with some more up beat meditation music. I found some I like on Yellow Brick Cinema.   I will see how that goes.

    You do keep tabs on “our” website…lol.  You work hard too.  Do you respond to every post in the forum?  Every post I have read, you replied at least once.  That must take some time.  I appreciate your advice and I am sure that all the others do so as well.

    Thank you

    Hello Anita,

    I was not in a very good place 9 months ago.  My wife and I have since worked things out.  Bravo on your diligence with your website.  All I was asking for was how to generate more energy in the morning from someone who has a busy life.  I am happy to do this work, and yes I get little sleep and I work hard.  I was not complaining.  I was explaining my circumstances to garner some advice  on how to energize myself in the morning.  I am sorry this post went in the wrong direction.  I thank you for your willingness to share and give advice.  All is good now on the home front.

    Thank you

    Rod

    Hi Brandy,

    Thank you for the feedback.  I agree with you.  I have talked to my wife about this issue.  The baby sleeps in a crib in our bedroom and when he cries I am the first to hear him.  My wife could sleep through a nuclear blast.  I am going to be awake anyway so I make the bottle.  I am not a very deep sleeper at all.  It must be a habit leftover from my time in the army.  The hard part is getting moving.  Once that happens I’m good.  I don’t know.  I’ll get it figured out.

    Hello Shordeel,

    The best advice I can give you is don’t give up.  There is a job in the right place for you.  You have to keep looking and searching.  Learn from the interviews.  Keep polishing your interview skills.  Pay attention to the questions and remember them for the next interview.  Keep improving yourself in your profession.  I know rejection is discouraging, but it is what helps up be better.  I am a manager in a quality assurance company.  I had more failures than successes on my journey.  I learned more from the failures and they helped me grow.  To finish up, keep your eye on the prize and don’t lose focus on your goal.  It’s tough, but it is the tough that makes it worth it.
