 Hey weirdos Wanted to give you a real quick update as to what's going on with you're considering the the post that I put up on Facebook yesterday for those of you who don't follow me on Facebook You probably have no idea what I'm referring to so I'm gonna go ahead and put this in the podcast and also on YouTube as well So everybody's kind of up to speed You probably have noticed that I haven't been posting as Consistently as I as I normally do and that's because What that's because I ran out of meds about a week and a half ago and you're gonna hear a lot of ums and In this video because I'm having a hard time concentrating right now Which is part of the reason that you're that time having a hard time posting on a regular basis I ran out of meds for both my depression and also from my headache and vertigo About a week and a half ago and it turns out there was a glitch either a glitch in the system or a human error Something happened where the drugstore thought they had filled the prescription and sent it to me and according to their records They have but I've never received it and they had two different numbers and maybe the two numbers canceled each other out Numbers on the prescriptions that is I don't know exactly what happened. They don't either but they're making good on it right now But if you have depression and you're on depression meds, you know, you do not stop cold turkey With meds. That's people do some crazy things when they stop cold turkey if they're on depression meds especially if those meds are strong like mine, I mean people have harmed themselves others committed suicide I Am not to that level so don't you don't have to worry about that I don't have those kind of dark thoughts the the darkest thought that I've had the last week and a half is I came this close to quitting my job Just but if that was the depression talking that wasn't me talking and I fortunately I stopped myself. I knew better I realized I love my job. I love who I work for. Why would I do this? It makes no sense and that's what it clicked on me It's like, oh, yeah, I'm not thinking straight right now So by the way if if you work for for my employer, and you know who they are If you hear that I have quit my job via email Don't Don't believe that Somebody somebody tell the boss. He doesn't really mean that but if I if I'm quitting my job, I'm calling you okay out of respect I'm not going to email you to say you know to say that I'm gone. That's just not going to happen I love my employer. I've been there now for about well actually think I think this March will be eight years That I've been there which is the longest I've ever been with any any employer Just it's a great company Salem Media Group, by the way If you want to look them up online they they do They're phenomenal if in fact I want to make sure to thank them today because what I did today I just like I said, I just can't concentrate for more than that a few minutes at a time right now So I did contact them and say look, you know, here's the situation They already knew that I had some issues. I don't talk to them about it before they know They know why I'm on meds and stuff So it didn't come as a complete surprise that something happened But I was surprised that they jumped so quickly to help I said, hey, here's the situation. I'm having a hard time concentrating I don't know if I'm gonna be able to do my job Without without screwing it up So is it possible to take, you know, I know it's last second But is it possible to take vacation for the rest of this week or sick time or something within five minutes They got back to me and said don't worry about it You're covered to consider yourself a vacation. In fact, if you need next week off We already have a backup plan in place in case that happens because you know, we know this is an issue for you We want to make sure you're taken care of. I love my job Never have I worked for a job that that would be that understanding So thank you very much to Salem Salem corporate Salem Chicago. You guys are are awesome My goal is to never quit So that being said though If you if you follow me on Facebook, you saw the post Yesterday, if you don't follow me on Facebook, that's why I'm here. So so my YouTube fans and my podcast fans Will will understand why why I haven't been posting the way I normally do I have a missile consistent with it So like I said, I ran out of meds about a about a week and a half ago And so that's just screwing up my thinking. I did get the meds for my vertigo and headaches Today that they came in the mail and It'll take a couple of days for those to start working again It took a while for it for it to really start taking effect when I first started taking them and then supposedly the The depression meds already in the mail. They're overnighting them. I should get them tomorrow but again just like with any meds that takes a while for them, excuse me for meds to start kicking in and Doing what they're supposed to do. So so for the next few days I might be very sporadic in what I post if you see that I'm posting archive episodes. That's why I Just I just like I said, I just can't concentrate long enough to to put together an episode So I don't want to leave you guys, you know, hang in wondering what's going on So that's why I'm sending you this message and then also posting the the archive episodes throughout the rest of the week Assuming I can even concentrate long enough to get those done But I really enjoy what I do. So even though I've been given permission by Probably over a hundred of you already from just the comments on the in on Facebook say hey I'll take care of yourself to worry about it. We love you I just you know, just come back whenever you feel like it. Just get better is the most important thing I still feel better when I do post something. It's sort of that even even if it's an archive episodes This is tiny little feeling of accomplishment, which I could use right now So I'm gonna go ahead and continue trying to post those daily dose of weird news. Don't forget it I'm there's no way I'm gonna be able to concentrate to even write that material It's it's a lot harder to write for daily dose of weird news because I'm thinking up punch lines And you know, I have to be in the right frame of mind for those and that that's not gonna happen this week So I'll skip this week and maybe return to it next week. We'll see what happens So anyway, thank you very much though for all of the really kind comments that people have left If you want to follow me on Facebook I've got links in the show notes so that you can follow me on the various places and Kind of keep an update as to what's going on in my life things that you don't hear about in the podcast or on YouTube Because it's just so so easy for me just to type out a quick little blurb and send it out tonight I have to worry about production and audio and volume and all that other stuff So anyway, thanks a lot I really appreciate the comments the prayers that you guys have been sending me since this happened. That's a very very appreciated and I You guys give me a reason to get up in the morning and I do appreciate that And I think that's the only thing that's gonna keep me going this week. If I didn't have Weird darkness and everything else I don't know if I'd even you know get out of bed because there really wouldn't be any reason to so Thank you very much for giving me a reason to get out of bed and actually accomplish something. It actually does help me It's it's it's less. It's it's still pressure, but it's a good pressure. So Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. Keep weird and Hopefully you'll see some archive episodes coming coming from me here very very soon. God bless
