Next Steps

Don't worry, this isn't going to be philosophical or any such jazz. I won't lament the lack of followers again or what I should do with this section of the site or anything like that. I mean, what am I going to get up to next. I've lost a whopping five pounds year to date. It's better than gaining weight I supposed. If I could multiply that by a factor of ten before the end of the year I'd be getting somewhere. I've really upped the ante in terms of activity over the last month so I have to down the ante in terms of consumption. And make activity more constant, a lesson I've gleaned from my handy FitBit. Yes, I'm still tracking my food and water after all these years. It's a great watchdog on my habits. But I have to get my butt in gear with more intense activity next. The next steps for that aspect of my life appear to be baby steps, but moving forward, not backward as before. I'm at peace with minimal progress to start. Work wise we hit a couple of big annual milestones in terms of the progress of my field season but we still have a couple more big ones upcoming but we're plunging through the list of desperate activities and soon should start to see a break in the action. So again, a positive story of progress. On the hobby front, I've not done anything. I haven't joined my social club, I haven't joined a team, nothing. I'm blaming work conveniently but like Cheese and I discussed previously, ain't nothing to it but to do it. There is no real barrier for a person to knock out small realistic goals like the ones I've set out for myself. My comfort blanket of work is providing me easy access excuses too often in certain realms. Romance? Same deal, nadda, nothing, zilch. Zero prospects and zero efforts. My passive approach suits me fine and so far I have no issues to report. I'm super picky and dumb about it and will continue to be out of both obstinance and attrition. What other areas of my life have you been missing out on over the last month while I poured myself into my job and gave up on other facets of my being? Happiness? Well sometimes I'm happy but generally I'm just busy and don't have the time to consider questions like that. In moments sure, in others I push it away and find something better to do. Financially? I do okay, nothing fancy, most of the focus is on the future, saving for retirement and all that boring crap. I can't think of any other factors to explore so I'll end this expansive update there.
