Your profile says “Florida for now”.
I never really realized it, but my baseline strength is so much higher than it was a decade ago – I now bench 50-60 pounds a few sessions into getting back into training, whereas when I started it was like 25-30 pounds!
Also I did pushups and situps today even though they’re like… my least-favorite exercises.
No longer!
Tiny Victory: Today was my 7th (8th?) day at the gym not complaining once the entire time I was there.
It’s kind of a part of the culture to complain together there, but I find that it makes the workout DRAG for me yet I looooove to whine about it.
It’s an ongoing experiment for me to be “the positive one” in class.
In the last two days I wrote and processed 25 agreements/subcontracts at work.
My eyes want to fall out. But I did it.
Paid my state quarterly taxes, woot!
Also, did way too many calculations to figure out I am not required to make estimated quarterly payments to the IRS for federal, which is like yay! but also boo! because now I need to sit on the money all year.
Apparently my last two weeks are gonna be super chill.
“Yeah, give us like, literally any documentation and we’ll be thrilled”
Got my application to re-certify my income driven repayment plan for my student loans done a month before the due date.
Got a chunk of tax returns assembled and ready to go out the door. I only have one left to actually do and one with a few pieces of data missing. We are definitely looking good for finishing this week.
First therapy session with a new therapist. I really like her/think she’ll be a good person to have on Team Me.
My older kid came into my room long after bedtime to talk about the nihilistic underpinnings of the song Bohemian Rhapsody. Then he wanted to discuss if it’s the consequences that give an action meaning, or if that action in itself can possibly mean something. Then I told him to go the hell to bed.
I like my kids.
I printed actual, physical invites for my son’s birthday party! However, I can’t find envelopes that for them because I printed them on 5"*7" photo paper.
You can make your own. I did that for cheap photo cards a few years back.
I have heaps of card and paper so I will do this, I just didn’t want to put effort in
Sticking tape on paper is a fun toddler activity, while you make them. It will be done soon and look extra custom!
It’s not even noon yet (barely) and I got my daily walk in! Bonus points for getting to the post office!
Ooops I hit the wrong reply…guess that’s a tiny complaint though
I also got my walk in this morning. I went to pick up a Buy Nothing item. I’ll get a bonus walk this afternoon, because I, too, have to go to the post office (didn’t combine trips because it is in the opposite direction).
Update: I made it to the post office!
Vanguard was able to recharacterize my 2018 IRA contribution over the phone. No forms and long wait time!
Speaking of Vanguard! I started a Roth IRA yesterday.
