Overweight, Low Energy

Bad combination. Feel so bloated, so slow, quality of life is bad.

But I think today is a turning point.

Got approved for zepbound. I gonna commit to it till I am at least under 300 and going to push till I have a 3 digit weight loss.

Also figured out how to list devices from home assistant to a json file.

curl -X "POST" "http://ip.ad.dd.dr:8123/api/template" \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer TOKENHERE' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8' \
-d $'{"template": "
{% set devices = states
| map(attribute=\\"entity_id\\")
| map(\\"device_id\\")
| unique
| reject(\\"eq\\",None)
| list %}
{%- set ns = namespace(devices = []) %}
{%- for device in devices %}
{%- set entities = device_entities(device) | list %}
{%- if entities %}
{%- set ns.devices = ns.devices + [ {device: {\\"name\\": device_attr(device, \\"name\\"), \\"entities\\": entities}} ] %}
{%- endif %}
{%- endfor %}
{{ ns.devices | tojson }}\\"}"
}' -o devices.json

Mother’s Day 2025

Yesterday my wife was treated by our kids, but today I am so glad we have the Ring Camera with 2 way going. I was able to contact my mom through that. Eventually found out her cell wasn’t paid and my sister just reactivated it.

Meanwhile, here in Washington, my wife wanted Bar B Que from C. Davis truck at Lowes and at the same time son and I went to to Federal way for some Church’s Texas Chicken.

Did some work, replaced the battery in shed sensors, and started to clean the sap off the top of the CRV.

Hoping in 6 months I will be under 300lbs.

Tired All The Time

Had nearly 9 hours of sleep today yet I am still tired.

I could not get what I needed done early.

Maybe just a schedule shift.

It is later and I am more awake.

Bingo

Played bingo for the first time today.

I knew what it was and played for fun in the past, but this was the first time I had money involved.

I was tired when we drove up there, but still made it.

I need some sleep though. Three day weekend, I will get some sleep sometime.

Next Level Nagios XI skills

Earned my next set if strips with nagios xi and more. I finally using the API to add stuff to nagios.

Shrimp Trip 2025

Our annual trip to get Shrimp

Left at 9:26 again nearly similar time as last year, also went to ATM, like last year, but this year we had to go pick up my daughter with a detour and that added an hour to the time because it included a pit stop and a coffee run.

No breakfast, just coffee, but did get a danish at Starbucks.

Got there at 11:30 but still ample shrimp. Prices went up, 50 per 5lb now.

Afterwards went to Angel of the Winds, WON, brought in pet dog for good luck. it worked.

Got some gas then dropped off my daughter.

Headed to our home where we split some of the shrimp for some of my wife’s coworker.

Then headed to PLU to get my son (took the dog), then to CostCo for gas, Harbor Freight for a case and fly swatter, then food at a Thai restaurant.

Here I am home at 7:35PM, long day.

Also want to note that we were going to leave earlier, but one of the things that slowed us down was a flat tire on another one of the cars. Had to inflate it enough to get to the tire store.

After I post this I am going to reboot my PC and upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11.

Yes today was busy.
