Dateline 10-1-2016

Alright, I think I've got politics out of my system... well at least to a point where it's not on the top of my mind to the point where I'm starting to feel sane again. Yesterday I went to work on my next Android App lesson, having taken a day off after finishing my latest assignment, and rather than having the rambling rants of political pundits, I opted to have funny YouTube videos playing in the background as I worked.

It's just been one day and I already feel less anxiety and depression now that I'm back to not obsessing over the news. Don't get me wrong, I still follow the news, I just have to stop spending so much time in rabbit holes desperately trying to figure out what is going on with this would while constantly being disappointed by my findings.

You know when I don't feel disappointed? 

When I find a new viral video like the latest one with this guy singing about an apple, a pineapple and a couple pens to transform this collection of goodies into Pen Pineapple Apple Pen. This sent me down a rabbit hole of reaction videos and cover versions that may not have informed me one bit but brought a smile to my face and a laugh to my belly in a way that I don't often experience anymore. 

Once I started laughing, I couldn't resist any other recommended video that allowed me to feel the silliness that was once a constant in my life. 

Since it's the weekend, meaning I don't have to do my day job, I'll have plenty of time to continue taking my courses and hopefully get to where I can start my next assignment by Monday. We'll see what I can pull off, as I'm still feeling a little uninspired but I think that's mainly because of the heat.

Talk to you tomorrow,
