Janus Coin

 I think I spend most of my time looking both back in time and forward in time. I've really been trying lately to just focus on NOW. Easier said than done, but I know the more times I catch myself, and tell myself the easier it will become, and the more I will do it.  The brain is absolutely amazing like that!


Old Business:

  • Still reading Power.  At the time, just reading a page or two doesn't seem like it does much, but I'm 2/3 done with it doing this. Just over breakfast.
  • Still getting more consistent with chores and downtime. Been really tired lately, so I've had to pay more attention to that. But trying to be more intentional, and use the same theory as the book - small steps still add up. Even if it is just one baby step a day.
  • Dust is soooo good.  Also about 2/3 through it. Obviously, I read more of it.
  • Back to the Trail Guide again. And, again, it's just knowing that even if I take a break, I will get back to it, and that is OK.
  • Haven't been able to do that with P4S, sigh.
  • Magazines are going well. Laughed at myself that I'm only 10 years behind now.
  • Mostly walking. Did try running last weekend, and that went well, except I had a few cardiac events afterwards.  Have had to shovel several times, and have to be careful there too, as the next day the heart gets funny.  Have a cardiac appointment on 2/8 and have some notes and pictures to take with me.
  • Since the craft table is cleaned off, I actually scrapped a layout last weekend!  Go me!  It felt good.
  • All garage activity has been suspended due to the negative temps.
  • Been doing pretty good still with guitar.  I'm up to 19 weeks, which is my longest.  Just trying to have fun with it.
New Business:
  • Same as before...Just find a flow/rhythm that works for me.

Happy 2024!

 Can you believe it is 2024 already?  I still remember December of 1999 when the whole tech industry thought the world was going to come crashing to a halt due to Y2K.  Ended up being a nothing burger!  I wonder if 2999 will be the same way?!

Old Business:

  • Still reading Power. Getting more consistent with scheduling chores and downtime, and definitely still a process!  How do you neurotypical people do it!?  It can be so exhausting.
  • Finished Shift, and now reading the final book, Dust.  I don't want it to end!!!
  • Trail Guide has been shaky!  020 was up for Christmas, and well, that was more important.
  • Still failing at P4S
  • Magazines, doing really well.
  • Walking/Running, not so good, but working at it.
  • Craft table is DDDDOOOOONNNNEEE!  Cleaned off memorabilia that was a year old!  Sheesh!
  • I did spray paint all the "new" wicker furniture.  Way too many cans, it was so thirsty. But it is now out of the garage, and packed up in the shed.  Need to figure out better storage for them.
  • I even collected all the landscape lights, fixed a few, and got rid of too many that I could not fix. Gadget was right, I just need to take better care of them.  I've purchased (actually donut dude did, but that is a long story) a bunch of lanterns from flea markets, and I've got an idea to use them in there, and hang from the fence.  I think that it will look prettier, and keep them nicer/safer from weather.
  • Pies are done, and they were soooo yummy!
  • Chiro and therapy scheduled out for Q1 and part of Q2
  • Curtains in the mending pile
  • Guitar going great!
New Business:
  • Keep plugging along! LOL
  • Trying to figure out a better management system for all the different areas of my life.
  • Try to stretch and build my executive function muscles.
  • Just be more consistent, and try to figure out how to not get overwhelmed so much.
