new weekday schedule: analysis and pain points

5 AM get up: used to this now. 

5:30 AM work out: it usually takes me 35 minutes to get ready, but with practice I can speed this up. I need to get up, make my bed, use the restroom, take my meds, eat a bar, brush my teeth, weigh myself, do some quick yoga stretches and rollouts, then drive to the gym. 

6:50 AM head home: no issues

7 AM get ready for the day and do technical studies: getting ready for the day always takes more than an hour for some reason, even if I don't multitask with technical studies. I think the pain point is stretching for too long, and mixing my protein shake takes forever. If I watch 1 video during breakfast and somehow get ready by 7:45 that would be ideal...

8 AM technical studies: I always start this late and it bleeds into work, pushing my times later, need to fix the above point 

9 AM work, don't forget to clock hours: yay -- need to improve punctuality tho

Sometime in the morning dream journal: better to do this in the morning, closer to dreams, good for the end of a Pomodoro block. 

12 PM lunch + music + walk: doable. 

Sometime in the afternoon music: haven't tried it yet here we go. 

Before clocking out sort trello boards, determine tomorrow’s goals, and log workout – during documentation block: moving this from 8 - 8:15, should be interesting

6 PM dinner + cleaning + gaming + tv + reading + internet + prep gym bag: never enough time, but it's gonna have to be enough -- I can eat while watching shows which helps. 

cleaning can be divided up into: bathroom, bathtub, kitchen and living room, laundry room, bedroom, vacuuming. if we clean the bedroom every morning for like 5 minutes, it stays clean (enough). just a quick dusting and picking up of trash. so, basically: kitchen and living and bathroom on Tuesdays, vacuuming on Fridays, bathtub AND FRIDGE on Saturdays, laundry room plus actual laundry on Sundays. This gives us Wednesdays off for writing group and Thursdays off for shopping.

Mondays we have class and get off work late, and have to launch directly into art after work. 

6:45 PM writing: I have so much fun with this that I often go over my time, got to be careful lol 

7:15 PM art: no issues, this is when I do iRestore and take meds as well

8:15 PM get ready for bed: cannot get distracted but I have 30 minutes ffs it should be enough. also a nice time to read a bit ig. 

8:45 PM meditation: this always starts at 9 and I rush it, will improve. 

weekends will need to build a modified version of this schedule, tbd. 

when I have writing group, I do art during the meeting and push writing to afterword

once I start commuting that's going to suck, but that'll be a year at least 

once I start doing summer swimming....ooh boy, probably gonna just chuck up a 2-hour dinner block, shorten lunch, and shorten technical studies 

I also get extra art time at work because I draw while things are rendering and during meetings. plus I go to figure drawing every Tuesday! 

idk when to cook, probably on Mon/Tues though, I emphasize quick things

shopping usually happens on Thursdays with dinner and then I just have to cut something else short, sucks to suck


also

weekly assignments every Sunday

daily goal-setting before leaving work

need a version to do when I have evening commitments

Unleashing my inner Disney Princess ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ at the 2024 Disney Princesses Half Marathon

TL;DR it was amazing and perfect  and we are going to make this an annual tradition. I may edit this with photos later, but I'm probably going to forget.  Recently, I spent 5 wonderful days donating my dollarbucks and soul to the evil mouse in Orlando. I did it for the Disney Princess Half Marathon.  Just look at that happy little alligator musician. He's so CHONKY. It's adorable. I love him. How could you NOT run a half marathon for him when he's cheering you on?  (My dad says it's weird to say the word "adorable" as a man, which makes zero logical sense and obviously means I need to use that word as often as possible. I will also continue to wear my rings and maybe I'll start flashing my pink protein shaker. Just to cause a little discomfort, because it's funny.)  I haven't seen the movie yet actually so idk if the gator is a major character or not. But JUST LOOK AT HIM.  My cousin and I had been planning a Disney trip, specifically centered

The 20-something types of Computer Science majors

I've been way too distracted with this blog lately, and I need to hurry up and start getting crap done. But...I've been dying to write this lol.  The advanced neckbeard A rare variety. When a neckbeard is forced out of his mom's basement and into college, he becomes an Advanced Neckbeard. You can always tell when he's coming, because you can smell him from half a mile away. He is very overweight, and wears shirts that are either plain or adorned with anime/gaming graphics. These shirts are either stained with sweat, Hot Cheetos, or something a little bit more, ah, suspicious . He is so socially unskilled that he makes everyone else in the major look normal. Age 30+, GPA at a 2.0 or just barely above it. Will never drop the major despite his lack of effort, because he simply doesn't care if he gets bad grades. In fact, he is probably highly intelligent, but his grades will never reflect that. Nevertheless, he will get a much higher paying job than a regular neckbeard

The Evenstar

I've never liked this world much.  Ever since I was a little kid, I always dreamed of going somewhere else. I created this alternate version of Earth that had everything and everyone that I loved, but with all these improvements to it. Magic was real. So were dragons. Dinosaurs hadn't gone extinct. Technology allowed people to fly. A network of glass corridors provided transport between this world and mine, snaking through streams of stars, galaxies, and lightyears of blackness.  And more than anything, I wasn't alone. I don't remember why I spent so much time alone as a kid. I really wish I did. All I know is that when I was in my  world, I always had someone by my side.  The feeling of being out of place here was overwhelming. It still is. That sense of not belonging, of longing for somewhere else, it has never gone away.  When I was in middle school, being bullied daily, I escaped to that world. The boys who tripped me and spit on me disappeared, replaced by tropical
