The big retail store didn't work out.  Apparently working night shifts doesn't agree with me.
My mental health has gone down after just 1 week, luckily my former boss for the construction
gig I was doing didn't hesitate to hire me back on.  The people there have been patient and
understanding with me when I'm unable to work due to my illness.  I realize now I'm not going
to find that anywhere else, and though things aren't moving as fast as I'd like, I'm resigned to be
patient with myself.  Plus I'm learning many trades, from demolition to carpentry to dry walling,
you name it and I'm learning.

I've been hired at the large retail store!  The past few days I've been changing my sleep patterns
for the night shift.  I plan on working the construction gig on my days off (when they're during
the week.)  The great thing about this large retail store is I can work as little as 20hrs and as many
as 40-48 hrs.  The pay is better than the construction and it won't be as back breaking.  I'm
extremely grateful to my boss for giving me the chance to work again, and learn about the
trades.  My diet is the same as the last post, and hopeful will have continued good news over
the next week.

It's now been 5 weeks working!  I've been able to go in everyday this week for 4-6 hours at a time.
My body can't handle anymore of the hard labour.  My diet has been suffering as of late.  I've
introduced more carbohydrates to my diet while still taking all the supplements I listed earlier
only not as often.  I keep getting warned by family and friends not to overdue it ... but I feel
I have to try and push myself to do more to test my new limits.  Had an interview with
a large depot store and I'm waiting to hear back.  If I am hired I plan to stay with my construction
work ... and will lay out my plan if hired.
