The Switch
I think that I will be switching over to this for a little while. I'll still check fb daily for memories and any alerts, but I don't feel that it is the best use of my time sitting there scrolling through for over an hour a day.
Anyways, here I sit at 37 years of age and I can't help but think that, while I hope I have many more years to come, the truth is that I have probably have more years behind me than I do ahead of me. Which is a sobering thought and makes me wonder about what kind of legacy I have/will have. What is it that I will leave behind? Right now, it looks like money and stuff. Stuff that probably won't mean anything to whomever gets it.
*Tangent*
And I'm about to go onto a tangent, but I look over at my movies and if I were to die today, my parents wouldn't care about most of those. My sister wouldn't care about most of it. What happens to my digital collection? Is that something that can be passed on or does it go into limbo, existing but not ever being used. As long as someone has the password I'm sure it's fine, but still.
Either way, I feel like I am at a crossroads. A place where I can determine what I do with my life and what I leave behind to the world that is left. Thankfully, my newish work situation gives me options that I never had on 2nd and I am planning on trying to make some changes. I cooked lasagna last night and I am hoping to make a cooking a semi-regular thing. Hopefully once a week at a minimum. I've been thinking about doing a workout routine again. I've got free weights, a row machine and some space to move around, plus there is a gym at work that I have free access to.
Been also thinking about a living upgrade. I'm not sure if I feel that the place is too small or if I have too much junk in it. Probably a combination of the two. I don't really want to move though, as the location is ideal. One option that I have been considering, is just outright buying the place and dozing it, then having something all new built. I haven't looked into pricing at all, but it would be nice to have some more room and a garage. I do admit that this would make me feel bad though. It isn't a bad place, just old and I don't think that continuing to put money into it to upgrade is my best option. I've put 10K into it over the years already and while they have improved things, it doesn't fix that I feel that the rooms are too small and if I do an expansion, what's the difference?
That's my rambling thoughts for now.
