Taking a little break in the day
I like that writing is now considered a break in the day as opposed to a nap or staring up at the ceiling trying to navigate myself towards the meaning of life. Not that this type of writing means a good goddamn but it's better than nothing.
A nice lump some of cash came in the mail last week, which should wrap up my concurrent employment settlement and gives me enough leeway to make proper investments in various business ventures, my real estate website being the most critical of the bunch, a $360 expense for the iframe integration not to mention the website hosting. I think I am going to approach Wix first and see what options they have but I also want to show them the websites that other agents built, some of the things I like, and other things I dislike (The search functionality is trash and it loads extremely slow on mobile) before I make any kind of decision. I need blazing fast mobile optimization and ideally a better search function, although it's passable if I'm just driving traffic to specific listings.
I need to pick up my medicine soon and while I'm there I think I'm going to go ahead and get a monthly membership to Planet Fitness. It's only $10 or so and my Physical Therapist is closing up shop after this week. His health is detoriating and he can't keep up the workload that he used to. It's a shame as I really like him and Iris. I'm nearing the end of my physical therapy but I feel bad that his health is causing such problems. If I'm at Planet Fitness, though, I can at least emulate some of the exercises, the bike, treadmill, etc, to continue to work my ankle back (which is mostly just ripped ligaments at this point, the bone is supposedly mostly healed).
I am continuing to go hard into BG work, as hard as I can manage, as I don't want to burn through this settlement money while I continue to weave my way into a new career. I'm on the active catering roster but there's been absolutely no work so that's pretty much on hold until September.
Look at the fact that I have brain surgery in January means I need to have something outside of real estate lined up. Yes, something else. That's also going to require a lengthy recovery period. I will not be able to sustainably do real estate, background, or catering while working my way back from that. So I hope to establish something that takes a bit less physical presence and can be done strictly from my computer. There's an affiliate training site that may be worth looking into. It's a monthly cost but not terribly unreasonable ($47) and is updated to remain current. I have wonderful access to free education, the problem is that sometimes the courses get dated and I can't translate them effectively to the digital space. With a little bit more of a budget, and wise investments, being part of something that updates progressively is something that I can really use. An ongoing course. Which is why I am happy about this lump some I got.
Right now the expenses I'm looking at are: Rent, bills, food, real estate, exercise & health, No Return, and education. As long as I stick to those things and don't be retarded I should be in decent shape moving forward.
Oh what would an entry be without a little Mary Lee gossip? Right? I honestly don't know if there's that much to gossip about, things are becoming increasingly transparent. She said, humorously, we should be called "best fuck buddies." Because we love to fuck, but we're also close confidants and friends, and we also have a "spiritual connection", which simply means that we love each other. It's something that could be considered complicated if you fasten a hard look onto it but honestly it isn't entirely difficult at all. Prove to one another that the other meets the big relationship check box they failed to meet the first time around: me, financial settlement; her, emotional safety. Then ride off into the sunset. Or, don't check those boxes, or don't check them in a timely manner, and hope that we find someone else we find attractive, that is dynamite in bed, that we love, and that we have a best friend connection with. Not impossible, but preferred that we try to conquer our personal shortcomings and claim the prize waiitng to be claimed.
So, basically, for me, just focus on the plan I outlined above and let things with Mary Lee play out the way they're meant to. She's emotionally invested in my success and I am encouraged by her attempts to be more considerate, with tone, and approach, when showing me something or explaining something to me. There's potential there and Janssen expressed yesterday he really really wants us to get back together. He loved us together, as did Veronica, my mother, and others.
