Today’s title for the day is ‘brick by boring brick!’ — kinda nails it for me right now but hey, at least we have the resources to get the bricks right? And even if we ain’t made it up to the level of finishing the windows for a clear view, it’s steadily rising up.
You know I’m the kind of person that would work week by week, purchasing a bunch of bricks each week and then in my spare time do another few layers and levels of that wall of the house until we had proper walls and rooms.
I thought this really hit the spot today for the daily stoic.
“you must build up your life action by action, and be content if each one achieves its goal as fast as possible — and no one can keep you from this. But there will be some external obstacle! Perhaps, but no obstacle to acting with justice, self-control and wisdom. But what if some other area of my action is thwarted? Well, gladly accept the obstacle for what it is and shift your attention to what is given and another action will immediately take its place, one that better fits the life you are building” - Marcus Aurelius
Dropping truth bombs again this morning, I can’t imagine that Marcus was that much fun at parties thou, I mean he’s got those life lesson haymakers but I’m guessing he couldn’t hold he alcohol — just a guess.
So it’s another week, feeling good, got a stack of steps in this morning which I’m pumped about, actually feels like it made a different to my day too so seriously going to look at re-activating the exercise routine again this week.

Seeing good results and stats from things I’m working on. Know I need to have a crush it month this month to really start making forward motion, little scattered because it’s now about properly framing and being super respectful of time and learning how to switch gears properly and not over do on one section — all boats rise kinda thing.
Was great to get some more DS9 in yesterday, some fire stories in that little batch and trust me I wanted to watch a lot more but I needed to do that early morning move this morning. I’m gonna try maybe to get a nap this afternoon so I can stay up later in the day so we can watch more things together for the rest of the week :)
Don’t think we have stupid hot weather for the next few weeks so I don’t need to force those early morning routines, maybe exercise and then back to bed sounds better I think, get up when you get up and then I’m kinda in sync with you a little better and as long as I get the things I need to record done then I can just bolt that stuff in.
Maybe I need to get up, blast a smoothie together, exercise, then record all the stuffs for green screen I need and then jump back in bed for a few hours, wake up when you do and then that’s my new format day — gonna try that from tomorrow.
Really pleased how that bulk uploader thing worked out, the only thing now in my mind is if they will do that for the stories feature, I guess they will but for now I’m gonna make sure I have a separate bunch of cover images and videos ready too because they seem to get a lot more impressions.
I don’t know who is looking at them but if it’s a test group of people who have access to it then I want to make sure that we are the go to people for that, I think I’m gonna work on structuring that course and putting up a gig for the making process — if I can be making for a client and then into making some personally for me then the income covers my time too so double win.
Was really thinking about my girls hardcore this morning, I had one of those after exercise and successful airdrop moments when I knew that I had resources again, it seems I group together wins, resources and happy times as a transport because it took me straight back to when I vlogged with bella and when we got drunk and went to the pub festival across those fields — such good times. Big smiles on my face this am.
I know you are having downtime and repairing times right now and I’m glad you are actually taking the time out to do that. That’s super smart, we work better when we are firing on all cylinders so take as long as you need on that score. I’m just glad that you have been getting some help from the gov too. Still crazy times, I don’t see slowdown.
I miss swimming with you, I miss our tired but willing to slug up the hill to get coffees and then maybe a cheeky breakfast or beer lunch times and the bus rides home to ultimately get back and fall in a heap together and get collective zzzz’s for an hour or two — the confusion on your face when you wake and don’t know where you are is always funny and not lost on me.
Alright, I gotta move now, I’m getting angsty and I need to go and collectively do my chores and get back on track, feel like I’m about an hour behind — gonna smash these tasks and then get back and maybe try and power nap for an hour depending on where my energy levels lay, try and sync up with you — I’ll have the ping on loud next to the bed if I do and then I’ll jump back in.
Welcome to another monday love, I know we’ve had a lot of those apart, I know every week seems like a month and I know that it’s hard to just get up and keep going day in and day out but that’s what we do, not just for creating income to live and eat but to move forward day by day, inch by inch ;)
Speak to you soon Love,
Mwah,
