Ch~Ch~Ch~Changes.

I don't have to tell anyone the Ukrainian thing is a mess. Naked aggression with a conscription Armed Forces vs. A proud people fighting for what is their right. There is only one bad side in this War, which is obvious to all... well almost all. Surprising for sure. People will suffer in ways I never have. It is a bad equation for Russia no doubt. They cannot win. Even if they do they lose. We ain't here to fix the World though. 

So my fitbit took a shit. I found out it wasn't under warranty, but they offered me 35% off a new one. I could have got an upgraded charge 5 for like $100 with the discount. A no brainer. Of course I'd do that. I love my fitbit. Then I thought,  I know what my mileage will be day in day out, week in week out. Do I still need this info?  I know how I sleep etc...  I decided I don't need it. I save $10/month too cuz I did all the extra stuff too. 

I find myself doing that more and more. I don't blog hardly anymore. I got rid of my Twitter,  I rarely use FB. Just cuz I did it for such and such time doesn't mean I have to continue to. I like change I guess. I like taking layers off my life to simplify things I guess. It is easy for me to do too. I am not in any clubs or groups. I am my own person so to speak, and its pretty sweet. 

There are some changes happening soon at work too. Not sure all it entails,  but I think it will be exciting. The couple changes I know for sure are really good changes. Fun fun. 

So, I guess that's it. If any of you people have investment accounts you know this year has been a roller coaster. Mostly going down fast. Then you had the last two days which makes no sense to me at all. Crazy crazy right?  

I just am patiently waiting for interest rates to rise,  so my Discover savings account can make money again. 

I spose. 

Laterzzzzzzzzz.       :)

Who The Heck Wants To Blog?

I sure don't. That may be a foreshadowing of the end of this. Not that it is a big deal in any way. What a change from 55 to newly college graduate huh?  When you are young you think of the difference you might make. The name you might make for yourself. 

I know I thought like that kinda, but as I  looked toward the World to see what kind of difference I could make, the World looked ugly. I didn't see any lasting difference to be made. So, I made the turn. My eyesight was very good back then, cuz at 55 I see very clearly there is no difference to be made. 

Maybe that is why blogging died. People had their lives. They were doing things with their life, making a difference perhaps,  except as the years went on we all realized we were doing no such thing. 

There was no point to our blogs, just like their is no point to our lives really. :)

Yeah, people got married, got divorced, had kids, switched jobs, whatever. Same stuff that's been going on since forever. 

At 55 I see very clearly. I'm fine with this though. I work,  eat, sleep, and I do it with a happy heart. Same stuff that has been done since forever. I didn't make any difference, cuz there was not a difference to be made. 

Yes yes, my story has to finish at some point, but I am of very very little value. I see the worth of me being one coin. I very much was like the proverb of the lady giving up her last coin. At 55 I understand it, when maybe as a new college graduate I felt I was worth more.  

Anyhoo,  I spose. If you want to know what the turn is, and what the coin means you'll have to go back, and reread my whole blog.   :)

Lol

Laterzzzzzzz.     :)

February Moves On.

Not just February really, but time. Time goes quicker and quicker the older you get. Reminds me of a book Catch-22. Such a stupid,  and funny, and brilliant book. Anyway one character tried to just do boring boring stuff. I think its why he joined the army. His reasoning was time goes slowly when you are bored,  so if he was always bored he'd live a really long time.    :)

Anyhow, not much going on with me. We get our taxes done Monday. I put $5000 in my IRA, so I should get a good refund. Hopefully enough to pay for my golf membership. This time last year we were cash heavy, and this year we are not. Last year was expensive for us. Pool, vehicles,  and my dad bringing bed bugs in the house. That was $2000. We are still trying to get him in a home. He's losing his mental faculties more and more. 

Life goes on. Things I guess are going pretty good. Golf season for us Michiganders is coming up quickly. Should be fun. What a great sport. Wish I didn't give it up after College. Wish I took lessons too. Oh well. 

Not much going on with me really. I woke up dreading doing this cuz I'd rather read. If I don't do this than I pretty much disappear, and that doesn't bug me at all. Maybe it is a luxury of being comfortable in your own head. The need to socialize disappears. Maybe it's because I never feel lonely. Do people feel lonely?

I know myself pretty well. I am known too, which is pretty powerful I guess. My insides can be seen, which makes me different than you. It's kinda how I can write in a confusing way. Maybe confusing. 

Anyway, I am intrigued by the Russia/Ukraine thing. Just to see how messy stuff gets. The World has always been about decisions of a few wreaking havoc on the lives of the many. 

To what end?  All is vanity. 

I will continue to work, eat, sleep. I am able to do it with a pretty happy heart.  

Laterzzzzzzzzz.       :)

Some Things Are Easier To Do Every Day.

Now that I've done this once per week for a bit, I find it easier to do every day. That doesn't mean I will do this more often. Better are the chances I just don't do the once per week thing anymore. 

I think the reason I do this once per week is I would pretty much completely disappear if I didn't. That doesn't bug me, but in case anyone was interested in me at all this is all there is. 

Once I stopped blogging I stopped with FB and Twitter, and that was just that. It was easy. Turns out I am not too interested in either. Who knew?  

I am going through books, which is pretty awesome. One of the things I've really accepted or continue to try to, is I am very much so average average average. No redeeming qualities,  no great skills in things. Just average. Average may not be a good term, but really I am not sensational in anything. I am fine with that. It is a good thing to know of oneself. 

I don't know if this pandemic switched me any or if I was headed here all along. It's pretty great being here, and being me. Life is easy like this. I don't have any responsibilities.  I don't have meetings to go to, or any engagements that take up my time. 

A natural tendency of people is to make their lives harder, and I do no such thing. 

I put in an honest days effort at my jobs, which is mental health 101. My jobs keep me active. During the summer typically at least 72 miles,  and this winter its closer to 65 miles. I work out, which is the best thing for you I feel. Just lift your body weight a lot. 

I don't do stuff for anyone else. Just for me. I'm invisible remember so no one sees me, and that turns out to be fine with me. How others are I do not know,  I only know me. 

Anyway this is me now. A guy living out my days. Waiting for golf season, which will probably increase my miles to 80 or so. 

Not much going on with me obviously. Just doing what I do. Nothing exciting.  

Laterzzzzzzz.       :)
