Happy Valentine’s Day to those who celebrate. Last week was again fairly rough. So I was much more focused on self-care than on meeting any goals. That being said, I still managed 10,000 words last week. I’m rather pleased with that. A big part of the reason for such a high word count given the […]

It’s Thursday! I have a new essay up on Patreon. I’ve started a new pattern of Patreon essays. First, a DIY or farm update. Then a lifestyle post. Then a writing post. Then back to another DIY or farm update. And so on. This sort of loose structures helps me figure out topics I

This really isn’t so much an accountability blog as it is just a check-in. Last week was pretty rough personally. Blaze and I are fine. Friends and family, not so much. Therefore, I prioritized my own self-care above any sort of goal. Despite that, I still wrote over 13,000 words last week. The only thing

I came down with something on Sunday. Not sure exactly what it was. It was not COVID. My head was a solid block of congestion. My lymph nodes were all swollen. I am better today, though my throat is still raw. One of the reasons why I am better today is because I took zinc.
My last Medium Post I started posting to Medium almost exactly two years ago today when I post this entry. My intention was never to get rich, but to open up another revenue stream, as well as another path of discovery. At first, I was moderately successful. I was making coffee money every month (that

I averaged around 7300 steps per day last week, which is honestly what my goal is this week. Last week was I was supposed to average 6900 steps per day. Ooppss? I took it easy on Sunday, at least in terms of steps, and merely did 6300. Every other day, though, I did a lot

I started walking more this last week. Averaged 6300 steps per day. Goal was 5900. Ooops? Goal this week is supposed to be 6300. However, last Monday I walked 8000+ steps, and Tuesday did about the same, so that really pushed my average over the top. For the first few days I wasn’t sure if

Word Count My goal for 2021 was 460K. I reached 430K, so about 30K off. I blame the unplanned for knee surgery for that. I would have hit 440K, but I came down with a cold last week and couldn’t write. I realized that I’m really gun-shy about planning anything for 2022. So my tentative

It’s been twelve weeks since I had a full knee replacement. I know, I know. Last week I said it was the last of the knee reports. I’d also planned on having a MUCH different holiday than I did. However, instead of flying to MN to visit family, Blaze and I stayed in WA. The

Eleven weeks ago I had full knee replacement surgery. This will be the last sort of update that focuses mostly on my knee. Next week are the holidays and I’ll be busy. After that, come January, I’m going back to my occasional accountability posts, to keep track of the things that are important at the
