So I’ve got enough stuff that I want to gripe about that I feel I’m doing a disservice to myself by keeping it bottled in. Should I gripe here? I could and do, in fact, it’s my go-to place to state what’s on my mind. But let’s face it, this doesn’t get read by anyone, I’m actually fine with that this is more for me to read in my old age anyways.

In order to be part of the braying masses and asses that are on social media, I’m going to clone myself. I tried doing this by using pictures found on the net but couldn’t get past the part that this was actually someone, now with AI and photoshop, I can have a clean account to work with. More on this later.

I ran across this as I was pursuing the news before starting to get things done, “100 ways to slightly improve your life without really trying“. I enjoyed the simplicity of some of the things and will try to incorporate them in my daily life, anything to move forward and be better:)

I got up today and did a mile on the treadmill to start the day. It’s only 15 or so minutes and it gets the blood moving, yeah it’s not the most glamorous way to start the day but letting my body know it’s going to be doing something today is a good thing and it’s 2k steps closer to my 5k daily goal which I’ll be a little stricter with myself about doing.

In other news, looks like Sandy is off to PA for a surprise party, good for her, I need to start thinking about doing that but will do that when I have my degree one day. As I approach 50, there are things that are becoming more important to me, probably because I’m realizing that there aren’t an infinite number of years in front of me, not that there ever were but I never realized how quickly time goes.

Well it’s Sunday again, and the first Monday of the new year is tomorrow. And the next long weekend isn’t until May:( Oh well, I can’t complain too much. The project that I was supposed to get done by the 6th was completed last year (ha ha). So all I really need to do tomorrow is to get my hours in for December and we’re good to go.

I did good today, did 2 miles on the treadmill to make sure I’m getting my steps in, got laundry done AND put away as well as changed the sheets and cleaned the bedroom. That’s the only way I know to make the Sunday blues a little more tolerable. I’m going to try to get on a schedule tomorrow, getting up and doing a 15-minute session on the treadmill in the AM. As I start my first new year as a non-smoker, it’s time to step it up a notch in regards to getting into shape.

We got a good walk in mid-morning, it’s a good thing we did, it was about 70 then and it’s down to 50 just a few hours later, it’s supposed to go down to 21 tonight, yuck…
I tried to make ghee for the first time in my life today, it’s basically melting butter and I’m not sure what it’s good for I’ve heard good things about it. If it turns out well I’ll go ahead and post the recipe. A good start to the year, and I’m still looking forward to the things to come.

2021 is at a close and it’s time to bid a fond (or not so fond) farewell to the old year and welcome in 2022, I like it better already, easier to type:)

Well, it’s coming up to the last day of 2021. I still don’t have my money for the house so I imagine it will be tomorrow, if not I won’t have to deal with taxes for a year, should have done that in the first place. I’m going to try to do some more work on myself in the new year, I need to get more into shape now that the cigarettes are in the rearview.

Today is the day, the house on Billie Ruth is gone. I’ll walk away with enough to pay off Bedford Ct and I’ll trade two mortgages for one property paid in full.

I guess looking back over the last 15 years I’ve owned it, I’ve only really lived there 2 years, the rest of the time it was empty or a rental. I guess I could have kept it for a rental but the neighbors to the south, ugh. Oh well. Supposedly it went to a woman buyer which means it will I left it as I found it when I bought it from my sister. It will clean up really nicely and a privacy fence on the south property line will fix it up well. It sold for $210k and I think I bought it for $88k and now I own the house I bought for $120k and it’s work $300k…

Now I just need the price of land to bottom out like my stock picks and we’re good to go!

I guess that would be a good thing if there weren’t any more scheduled for next year but I don’t believe that’s the case.

Went for a walk today to see the progress on the Hurstview bridge. Slowly coming along. Sandy said she couldn’t believe how long it was taking but I was thinking since there’s a quick detour and it’s not vitally important that it stays open, why not take your time, it’s not an emergency.

Beautiful weather today, 80 and sunny, just what you expect for December 27th LOL.

In other grimmer news, Grace has Covid. I was like oh no, they’re vaccinated right? Wrong, that whole crew isn’t vaxed. Ugh, you can’t fix stupid and I’m happy the stupid are dying, I just don’t want family to be stupid, dead, I meant dead…
