I worked without regard to my health for years before I crashed. I gave myself enough grace to turn off my alarm clock one day.

I slept 12 hours.

I didn’t turn my alarm clock back on, and slept for 12 hours a day, nearly every day, for 6 months. I was killing myself. I say screw the hustle. Work hard, and bring your “A” game, but, stop overextending yourself. Goals are important, but damn, it takes a LONG time to achieve the most important ones. It’s a marathon – pace yourself.

You’ll find your goals will come with a slow and steady pace.

I just referred to @AffiliateWP as my “main squeeze”. Programming life is weird. 😅

I think the hardest thing for me over the last few weeks has been breaking the “individualist” shield that has protected me in the past. Many white people claim to not have a culture, when in reality we do. We just deny it’s existence because it’s too painful to admit that the history of our people has represented so much harm to the environment, the world, and other cultures. Who nearly killed off Native Americans? Who’s responsible for this massive impact on our carbon footprint?

So I just purchased an upgraded antenna for my cellphone range booster. I intend to return it for a bigger one if it doesn’t help.

At this rate, my RV lot might look like a bit like:

Bennett sees my Lalafell Dragoon and says “AWE! HES A SCAWY DWAGOON!”

So now I’m an Au Ra.
