Back into daily swimming. Feels good to make progress. Had a swim coach give me some pointers on technique which has helped tremendously with arm pain.

Going to the Maldives next week. Never been. Curious what it’s going to be like. Open ideas. Still need to book a hotel even just cheap tickets made it irresistible to go

Got more measurement strips, so I am now adhering to my diet plan with more accuracy and faithfulness. Having daily metrics keeps me honest.

Couple more days of work and then it’s off to LA for a concert. I need to be more kind to myself and quit with the binge eating so I can get back on my weight loss journey. Work has slowed down so the projects are starting up. However, after busting my ass so hard last year and only getting a few shells tossed my way, I am far less motivated to be number one this year.

Had a test for a maths subject that I didn’t study properly. Good news is I know how to do the questions. Bad news is that I forgot about the proper steps, which means I’m not gonna score as much as I would like.

On other news, got a few assignments done, which is a load of my chess.

Part 2: So I’m going through a divorce, which means money is a little tight right now as I adjust back to a single income. That said, I’m proud to say that I just set up automatic investments in my IRA so I can start being more proactive toward my retirement. It isn’t much, but for me it’s a huge step forward. Thanks for reading. :)

Great! You should begin to see your investment begin to grow nicely in a few years. Ignore the dips here and there due to market forces.

Out of sight; out of mind. That’s my philosophy.

Grandma died. I also kind of realized that my dad probably has dementia. So now the core of my “support system” has fallen apart. I have a theory about where my grandma got reincarnated to - somewhere good; but my dad I think is slowly taking on the life of a cockroach in an old trailer I used to live in. I have theories about dementia and reincarnation. That’s what my grandma had. Vascular dementia. Anyway, with my dad no longer able to competently screw with my head I feel kind of liberated. My music finally feels like really good music. I’m like a really good musician I feel like now. Like I’m really confident all of sudden listening to my own music. I guess my dad, once upon a time mentally competent, always actively made me feel inadequate musically.
