wowowowow.
Had my beans and a got a cup of tea to my left side. Still a little bit of morning bed head because well, I did’nt really wanna get up yet this morning until some funds had dropped in my account, still waiting on that skillshare life monies to come through then I’ll try and sneak in a walk before the winds start to hit — looks like we got some good 40 mph winds for about six hours, quite sustained if you ask me, looks like ireland is gonna be getting it the most, should be all clear for tuesday, just hoping that we don’t have any issues with trains and such like, the uk tends to shut down with a leaf on the line and a bit of wind on the rail.
I knew October would go fast but this nuts, like, it’s really barrelling in, be good to just stop and tick one box off and go ok, that’s done, we are in the right position, next task and keep stepping through otherwise just thinking about all the things could be a bit nuts — I still think we have plenty of time to get all those last minute things in order thou and I’m thankful for all the little jobs and requests coming in on upwork now I’m a top rated seller, I’ve been waiting for that for a long time. I remember how it kinda activated you and you had that influx of work come in which you crushed.
Glad you managed to tie a lot of the loose ends up over there, I can totally understand it getting all a little emotional, why would it not, let’s be honest it’s a big deal on many regards, taking trips, commuting, however small the time period is it still feels quite a big deal to make that jump, kinda a leap of faith in some regards but when you know the world is bigger than yourself you just can’t help but make the trip. We have to do the things we cannot do and still try them anyway. It’s part and parcel of being human, we have the desire for adventure and promise.
I completely gapped that it would be skillshare payout day today, I’m kinda in a bit of a void actually between today and Wednesday because ideally I would have all of the funds today, kinda need them to get food and buses and such like, tickets are covered because I already bought them for trains and such like but feels like such a void day tomorrow — should be picking up some bits today and then again on Wednesday, aint it weird how events unfold and the times when they do. It’s almost like a sense of willing them to happen, sometimes we are aware of doing so and the rest they just happen.
It’s been a week or so since my little ‘event’ I’m glad to have worked that through with the doctor and talked it out, i’ve been getting better all week and I’m certain now that the bang on my head was concussion because of the way I had that ‘time’ out period and the way I needed to relax after it, I’ve definitely adjusted my effort and my output to suit that over the past week and feel much better than I did a sunday morning ago, it really worried me that, but it certainly maintained my other vision about legacy, still got time to work on that if funds allow before steemfest 2, got a few people lined up for potential work for them to do again, when funds allow.
I’m actually more excited for the exercise of walking and commuting and travelling aside from the event at the moment, just sticking on the new hiking boots and breaking them in, getting some miles in, some oxygen in my body, exercise, nothing more of a head rush that feeling that you’ve operated all the human machine parts, getting out there and pounding that pavement a little bit. I’m excited for that bit, us remote workers spend too much time in front of damn machines. It’s a bind!
Ok love, it’s time for me to close up this blog entry and start to focus on Monday, it’s a fairly straight forward one for me, waiting on skillshare, upgrade the internet, try not to get blown into the bushes by ex-hurricane orphalia (like, in the uk, what?) and get some change sorted for tomorrow morning, my day starts early tomorrow am, early morning buses, walks to stations, sitting on a train, swapping trains, getting lost in the new station and finding myself again, boys gotta go into backpack and coat mode tomorrow, might even pack my van hat just for good measure.
Right, I want you to drink water,
triple check everything, lock everything down,
Have a nice lunch and dinner along the way,
Arrive in plenty of time, read, watch netflix,
Do the thing, get some sleep, wake up,
Make the changes, be prepared.
It’s all just half a day away. Remember that!
Lots of Love,
Mr Mouser
