Got my steps in for 3 days in a row. As I post at about 10:35 PM I am at 11760 steps.
Feel like walking around the house to get to 12k.
Went to doctor and asked to be administered the Moca test, I passed, so I think my short term memory issues are lack of sleep.
Been sleeping good now that I am tired a bit.
Weight: 352.6
Luckily I got a whole bunch of steps prior to the gym.
I had floors done and needed 1500 more steps. But when we get to Y, it was dark so there was a power issue of some sort.
I walked around a strip mall while my son waited for dinner.
Got it done.
Saw my mom off this morning back to Hawaii, I gonna miss her.
Then spent 2 and a half hours waiting to get blood drawn for some tests. That was incredibly long.
Weight: 349.6
OK 2022 was Meh, 2023 was Meh, but if today is going to be like the rest of the year it is going to be busy.
The fireworks on TV for Seattle wasn’t that great, looked like it was just fog and cloud.
But the next morning I got up at about 7:15 left the house at about 7:50 to make that, back to using a smart phone for the annual photo, just wasn’t prepared.
Still dark at 7:57 but I did wait till 8:18 and was treated with some sun.
But I had to hurry home, because I had to get ready for a New Year’s day parkrun.
Son did the full 5k I did just 2 miles.
So to complete the Morning trifecta I want to see my son do the Polar Plunge where you wade into freezing water. Last year it was at Gene Coulon park this year it was at Henry Moses Aquatic Center
Got home at about 10:30, but my day not done, I needed my 10k steps so I went out got the balance of my 10k steps + 10 floor before noon. In fact as I post I am less than 300 shy of 12k steps.
After that I was physically tired, being up late drinking and reveling then up early to see sunrise. I top it all off by completing one of my goals for 2024, upgrading my 2016 server, a physical one at that to 2022. So with my Windows AD and Linux servers upgraded, I am good for the rest of the decade.
I am in now planning mode for 2024, like I posted last year, nice to set goals but need to create a plan.
Anyway, today started with some patience and blasted the morning.
Oh one thing about my weight, I did weigh in before all the fun at 352.6, but after walking hit the weight below, it did fluctuate to 349.8 but I like to round number to officially post to start the year.
Weight: 350.0
On initial reflection, did not feel like it was an accomplished year for me. I thought I would be lighter, in less debt, more healthy none of which came true.
There were two non work, but non vacation trips one to Toronto the other to Hawaii both to deal with family issues.
Got a colonoscopy, that was “fun”
So lets get on with it
Biggest news of the year, no malignant cancer
So, 2020 and 2021 were disappointing, 2022 and 2023 weren’t bad but not great either. Hoping that these come in pairs and 2024 will be a rocking year.
Archives are almost done, just going through validation. But personal note for next year, make sure outlook is synced up before backing up and messing around with back end.
Just want to note on weight, I did weigh in at 350.4, but at about lunch I was able to get it down to

When I am done with this post, all that I set out for today is done.
I can relax the rest of the day.

Also did 10 floors completing fitbit goals.
I feel like I can chill now.
I am working through archiving for the year. Pretty much done. Tomorrow will be bigger.

Didn’t feel like work today, but I did.
I don’t think anyone was around either.

I think I will go to bed early today. Gonna try and do parkrun tomorrow.

Feels more like year end cleanup, which it kind of is.
Got a few things archived already, I am ready to begin archiving more.
Looks like Saturday I will lock the archives and validate.

Would like to clean up office a bit more before new years.

This was a good Christmas Season, house was decorated more nicely.

Got a cool goat gun too. AR-15 replica, want to put it next to my marksman badge.
Went to casino again, like last year, lost, again like last year.

I really wanted to just chill out, got another day to to that.
