Time for my yearly update

It's kind of odd I go through these spurts where I don't write anything then feel like I need to update my blog again. 

So this year 2016 has gone a lot better so far than 2015 has for me. Health wise I feel like I've gotten over my depressive slump but it has been a long road with that. I'm off the stupid anti-depressants and on prescription dopamine. Since I have PKU my body can't produce it so I'm having minor Parkinson's like symptoms. It's greatly improved my mood, motivation, and fatigue issues that I have. The whole point of a low pro PKU diet is to avoid brain damage. I had an MRI and my brain doesn't have any damage, which is quite important as 93% of PKU adults have some form of physical brain damage. So whatever I'm doing is going right.

I no longer where where I used to, after they asked me to watch a guy pee in a cup for a drug test when I'm IT it was time for me to go. I had already applied for another job and ended up getting that so I'm now in a much better position and the important thing is I'm working with a team doing some of the same kind of stuff I always do. I can't ever focus on one thing and end up doing a bunch of various different tasks even though I'm now a Programmer Analyst. It's more like a sysadmin position but whatever. 

Dayton is coming up and I'll be going to it again this year, I wasn't sure if I wanted to and I'm hoping my joints all function so I can avoid some bone pain. I'm looking at getting a proper antenna, rather than a homebrew since I can't seem to make them quite right and don't have the tools to do so. Then I'm also looking at an antenna tuner as another option. 

Anyway signing off for now.
