I’m into the xmas hunt now.
I find the act of gift giving super fun to the point that I am fighting to host a white elephant party (and losing that fight). I want to see their glee on the day of the event and think, “I made that happen for them.” That fills me with joy perhaps more than getting gifts myself. This is not to say I don’t want gifts. I do. What I don’t know but I want to feel good about myself, so I want whatever aids that feeling. Perhaps the best gift is to work out and eat better and be able to enjoy these next 30 years in a way that makes my life sing. Honestly, 30 is about all that I can really see at this point as being healthy living. I recently spent time with a few men in their mid and early 70’s and it is clear decline happens steeply at that point. You crash based on what condition you are in leading up to the point and I am worsening by the day. So, I gotta find that drive to survive.
But this was supposed to be about xmas, right?
Some Thoughts:
- I recently stumbled upon the base outline for a series of cyberpunk novels set outside of the Shadowrun world called the Corporate Commandments. I think I will make them my first major foray into the Amazon sales space.
- Have not spent a lot of time working this week. Wednesday night through today was pure holiday, but I need to head back over to grind land soon…
- My office is filled with notices of spring break like something is gonna happen. Except on don’t think that is real anymore. I really want to have it be a thing, because my first born is leaving the nest (potentially) for Japan. We shall see what can happen…
- Hopped back on Madden to play franchise mode. Been fun but tough. I’m really not good anymore. I need to get back into study mode. Perhaps 30 minutes of planning and playbook work a day?
