Ok. Long time since I've posted.
I had some great weeks working out three times a week. Awesome!
Not so great with house work and even got behind in school work. But, I'm caught back up and trying to maintain again.
Let's see how this week goes.
Today: 1/25/2025
I'm up. Calf cramping like hell. It's ok.
Plan:
Dishes,
Laundry,
Trash out,
Workout,
Fishing.
I want something fun today.
Today: 1/4/2025
For the first time in my life I rented a drained snake. Amateur plumbing. My body is tired. I've gotten way too fat and weak. The laundry room was backing up into the house. The kitchen sink was backing up into the house. I'm filthy and need a shower.
Reflection: Apart from money, I don't know why I put this off for 2 weeks. I feel accomplished. My body hurts and I feel weak. I feel relieved that this task is done. I feel encouraged to do something else. It might not be today but I have to do something else in the house. The list of things I have to do is way too long. And my body is so weak.
Lesson learned: Just do the things. Take 20 minutes everyday and do something for your body. 20 minutes everyday, something to make your body better.

Reflection:
Ok. I mid day shuffle yesterday, that's ok. Instead of working out with weights I did lots of walking while I fished. I am counting that as my work out. I got the laundry washed and dried. Still need to put it away. I'm feeling mentally better. I don't know how I fell into the pit despair last week or the week before. I do feel physically like I'm picking up a cold. I managed two workouts last week. I'm hopeful I can get three this week. It was fun going fishing yesterday, it has been a month since I got out there. Something about the water lapping and the repetitive motions has a calming effect.
I really a tired of being a student. I love learning but being a student is draining. Not even half done. I got to keep reminding myself why. The reason I want a masters is so, if I get laid off again I'll find a new job faster. The job pool is smaller for people with masters.
Plan:
Put away laundry,
Put away dishes,
Strength based work out,
Homework,
Fishing again, if all else complete.

Unexpected, out of no where, my little sister has stage 3 breast cancer at only age 28. No one deserves this, especially her. She has a long road to recovery, but that’s not stopping her from shining her light & smiling. Please share/donate if you can 🩷🙏🏻
“A look back to the 1964 Navajo Nation Fair ❤ The Navajo Nation Fair was initially started in 1937 as an opportunity for our Diné people to unite and gather for a couple of days to socialize, race horses, compare each other’s harvest, have something positive and enjoyable to do rather than just dealing with the Depression, stock reduction, unemployment and having their children hauled off to boarding school. Be proud to be Diné!”, Southern Navajo Nation Fair

Was given a note from my partner today. I'm not sure how I'm feeling after reading it. I know what is being expressed but my knee jerk reaction wasn't to their desire. My reaction was self centered. I haven't spoken or seen them since reading it. I'll read it again at lunch and before I go home. Really need to consider what to do with this information and decide how/if I should respond.

Some friends from today in the #sepulvedabasinwildlifereserve in #losangeles. The caterpillars are Hyles lineata, aka white-lined sphinx moth (Google them, they’re pretty cool). All said we counted more than 12 in and amongst two California fuchsia. Can’t say for certain, but I’m thinking these hungry lil guys have chomped all the flowers and tipped the ends of the stems.
