Friendly reminder of the state of the world
I really don’t see things ‘getting better’. We’ll just adapt, compartmentalize, cope and keep surviving. School shootings will keep happening in the US (it’s already the norm, clear backpacks and armed guards don’t stop them).Mental health will keep deteriorating (How can it get better? More drugs? If the main problems causing unhappiness aren’t dealt with,…

“You have to make time”
There are so many books on my reading list, most of them literature classics and geopolitical theory and history. I HAVE to MAKE time. Just thinking about this exhausts me. I would love for there to be an exception to the rules of physics of time. If you’re spending your time reading, time goes 40%…

Easy comes, easy goes
Found myself a little extra money these past few weeks, between some spare change in the lottery, a few over the top tips and a personal favor that paid more than what I expected. Mazel tov! Right? What am I to do with this extra cash? Should I reinvest in the bottomed out market? Should…

Enjoying the fat cows
Well, fully booked June has basically ended. Now comes fully booked July. Eight consecutive weeks of extra clients feels fucking great. Also, don’t even know if the whole “cow phrase” translated ok. It means that when times are good, there’s food on the table and cows eat more than their fair share, getting fatter and…

From cooking winsauce to boarding the fail train in seconds
Had a great weekend, and now there’s a big Big BIG week ahead. I start with 100% of my regular full-time clients, plus work, personal responsibilities, AND a 1,600-mile road trip at the very peak of the gas crisis (right now, we’re at $5.19 per gallon, it’s fucking absurd). And, on top of it all,…

Summer forecast: looking good
It’s a good thing I did a lot of trips in May (one more still to go next weekend) ’cause I’m pretty much booked solid till July. Clients Monday through Friday, plus activities and/or more clients during the weekend; a much needed revenue to pay the piper (IRS) and alleviate the weight of my traveling…

When it rains it pours
Get this, I’ve been basically working non-stop 2 jobs since mid February. Needed the money, it was all part of the master plan. Mazel tov! Took me a couple of weeks to finally get into the daily rhythm of juggling my everyday life with work life with personal life with my other life (the one…

All good things must come to an end
Can’t stop the flow of time. Days keep going one after the other. It’s inevitable. All of the sudden, your 5-day vacation is finished, and you’re setting up the alarm in bed because when you open up your eyes, normality will reign once again: waking up, brushing your teeth, coffee, work, lunch, procrastination, traffic, exercising,…

In a bad mood? Me? Nah… Just haven’t slept in a week
If I don’t get a good night sleep today, it’ll be the 6th night (almost a whole week!) sleeping 5 hours or less, waking up to work full time and deal with all kinds of random bs that never happens on a regular day, but of course, they happen when I’m dead tire. “C’est la…
