    Well.. I did it. I asked for more work. So now if I get too much, I only have myself to blame. I’d like to target 25 hours a week. I’ve seriously been number crunching daily and looking at all my bills and accounts. I’m spending less than I have for years and for the…

    It’s cloudy an 0 degrees outside right now. Yet here I am at the gym again. It’s a random Tuesday morning in January and I’m trying to find motivation to do anything. I swear that medicine I took for my migraine two nights ago is still lingering in my system. I had a tough time…

  • 2017-12-17 Stellar Sunday Stats

    I can hardly believe that two weeks have gone by again already. The closer we get to the end of the year, the faster time flies. This is the second to last status update for the year and I’m quite pleased that I’m holding steady on most things. Sleep.. I’m still getting just shy of…
