Back to the grind, yet again

5-day weekend, OVER! It was good while it lasted. Made history, overcame my obstacles. Drove 1,800 miles, had to deal with a fairly complicated apt rental scam (will detail this soon, once I settle back and have more time), went to an international Formula 1 GP with great seats, and had a blast with a…

En route: update

SHORT POST- Sorry to do this, but had absolutely ZERO down-time today between work, clients, car appointment, packing my bags, and of course, doing all this while surviving 100F degree day. So, I’m currently in the middle of an 800-mile long road trip (one way). Literally stopped on a random exit to stretch my legs…

Second Wind Tuesday

Food and alcohol may get you sick, may make you fatter, may leave you in financial ruin, but they do bring you happiness when they work together in harmony –> Guaranteed. Single malt and tapas: that’s truly the way to go. Took a full day off only for myself, and everything turned around:> Got new…

Gearing up for what’s coming in the next couple of weeks

And just like that, with two different text messages while I was waking up this morning at 9am (lmao), I lost 4 weeks of side income. My two clients extended their break period for 2 weeks more till mid June. Damn! Don’t get me wrong, it’s a much needed and well-deserved rest (but I only…

T-Minus 36 hours

I am really really REALLY not ready to get back on the grind after these past couple of days. It’s not even about working again or doing activities everyday, it’s about getting back to the exercise routine and diet. When you’re on vacation, you say: “Hey, fuck it. Imma have a great time. Bring it.”…

It’s officially May

This month is PACKED with extracurricular activities, work, trips, clients, and of course, the busy day-to-day routine. I have a feeling it’s gonna fly by, and I won’t even notice till the last week. It’s also my birthday in a couple of days, but that’s not a big achievement. It’s only one more rotation around…

One of those days…

Today was basically a 14-hour workday, with 2 hours more of personal time. I’m physically and emotionally drained to the point of not even being able to construct coherent sentences in English, and seeing the screen with the words getting blurry on top of each other. For that, I apologize. There’s one lingering thought that…

Geared up and mentally ready to start the week, again

Everything has its end, nothing lasts forever,Let us remember that there is no eternity.-(Rough translation of “Todo Tiene Su Final” by Héctor Lavoe and Willie Colón) And so we have arrived:The END of the weekend. —plays nostalgic music in the background—. All good things must come to an end. How else could we recognized the…

Going out on a weeknight? Well… Let me think about it. Ok, yes.

This is exactly why I stopped going out on work-nights during the week; it’s an assured demise. It always starts the same way. “Hey, look who is coming to town?”— Who?“This guy, with his new tour.”— Damn, I know how much you like him. But isn’t it on a Tuesday night?“Yea, but I can keep…

A post about doing nothing

Today is one of those nights that I just want to watch some football highlights on YouTube, maybe play some video games. Hell… I’ll even get to researching and studying for my next novel or even update my financials. ANYTHING but writing. Just not feeling. Everything is going more than OK. Fully booked with clients.…
