About halfway there
3 and a half hours of driving, done! Easy peasy, even though it started after a 12-hour work day, which gets even harder when it’s 85F and you’re doing tons of stuff outside. The sun really drains you. Must have drank like 4 bottles of electrolyte water, my body just kept chugging it. Dehydration is…

Long day ahead, and even longer weekend
I’ve been staring at this blank page for about 15 minutes now, including the 20 tabs I’ve opened and closed multiple times to ‘find inspiration’. None, nothing, zilch. I’m completely blank today. Tiredness is a factor, being out in the sun at 84F is another, not getting a full night sleep since past Friday is…

Worst case scenario activated and resolved
Murphy’s general laws states, and I quote:“Anything that can go wrong will go wrong. If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong. Corollary: If there is a worse time for something to go wrong, it will happen then.”…

Slowly, but surely, losing my ‘summer body’
No, I won’t complain again about the market and my financial decisions. Whatever. Only one more sentence: Today was the single worst day of my market trading day, even worst than the start of the pandemic; and my portfolio is being massacred. That is all. Let’s continue. Ate at Taco Bell today. Got a happy…

Birthday weekend, done!
So, after a very action packed and activity filled birthday weekend, I’m back; and if feels good to have created new memories of enjoyment with a very special person. Here’s a quick re-cap, I: Ate like an animal Drank like a gentleman Drove hundreds of miles like a veteran pilot Had 3am pizza in a…

Come on! Missed it by 17 minutes
Mo’fuckers. Today is my birthday, I crossed state lines. I’m in another place. Fuck me. Lost my streak because of bad timing, again. No, I won’t accept it. Drove for hours, hotel, check in, dinner, drinks, life happens… Today is my birthday. I demand a break! Gotta party, drink, eat… I have to celebrate another…

Staying liquid? Cash flow? What are you talking about?!
It finally happened, the market broke. It took huge crash in a single day after months of tumbling down steadily. Some companies have actually reported profits and lower losses, but their stocks keep plummeting. Shit! It was bad, now it’s gotten even worse. I’m never the optimist, but really thought that May would start with…

Duolingo warfare pt.2
Well, it happened. Incredible enough, it happened only two days after writing the other post. I met my match (or matches) in the Diamond League. I usually did 20-30 minutes a day of Duolingo double xp to rack up points and stay ahead, but this time there are three women (older women) that are logging…

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…

Duolingo warfare
I have a confession to make. I started Duolingo. And even worse, It’s gotten competitive. I’ve won all the the leagues without much effort. But now, at the very last one, I’m up against 5 ladies with hundreds of thousands of XP points, over 300-500 day streaks, and dozens of top 3 finishes. This is…
