Health:

Well, it's not Keratoconus. It's just dry-eye.

And I don't have low Testosterone. I'm just a middle-aged dude with a vasectomy who is doing the Keto diet, and all three of these things lower your testosterone naturally.

So four months and maybe $2800 later, the result is, "Yep, you are pretty healthy for a fat middle-aged white dude. Get your glasses prescription updated, and use these eye drops a couple times a day while staring at the screen, and you'll be fine. Oh, and once you reach your goal weight, switch from Keto to a Paleo diet, so your body chemistry isn't constantly verging on hibernation mode."

It's a relief, and a let-down, and annoying. The entire medical industry (except for KB's birth center) can suck my left nut, and then go die in a fire.

I'd bank my cells with ForeverLabs if I ever thought these dinkus doctors could ever do anything productive with them.

Grrr.

And YAY I'm pretty dang healthy.

And ... now what?

Work

Still haven't looked at my resume, but I have tagged about 9 different jobs on Glassdoor that I am PERFECT for and will pay me somewhere between $20k - $40k more than I'm making now.

So that's good.
