Christmas Eve 2023

Another Christmas is about to hit us, gonna be a late post so posting early before I begin the festivities.

Will update when it is closer to midnight.

But man last minute.

OK this is an updated, just got home from my sister place, was fun as usual.

Played some games, watched some football, Broncos game was exciting but they lost.

Seahawks on the other hand won, combined with a Viking loss and they have control over their playoff destiny.

Start of Winter Vacation/Archive Week

I still have work next week Wednesday, but I technically have 4 days off with traditionally quiet week between Christmas and New Years.

With that said, this the start of Annual Archive Week, it used to be closer to the New Years, but I noticed the past few years took more time than that.

So after Christmas, I will start my annual Archive.

Side note: Posted this technically at 11:02PM which WordPress interpreted as already the 23rd. So backdated it a few minutes to reflect real day of post.

Winter Solstice 2023

Shortest daylight of the year was today, based on this web site https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/usa/seattle

We got 8 hours 25 minutes and 25 seconds of daylight.

Tomorrow we will get 8 hours 25 minutes and 26 seconds of daylight.

Woohoo a whole second.

Just kidding, feels good though, knowing it will get brighter.

Still work day was long, no time for gym, but with that said, got a huge task done. Took months.

Didn’t know UPS store did passport photos, kind of pricey at $15.99 + tax. But wanted it done and NO issues. Followed the passport instructions to the T. Too late to ship it today but will ship it tomorrow for sure.

While I was at UPS store, returned a hard drive, it was too large. Needed 2.5″ instead of 3.5″

I suspect we will have a bunch of returns.

Deceptively Busy Day

Though today was going to be slow, but the morning was slammed with a moderate afternoon.

But here I am posting from work, looks like I am not going to get any workout in.

Thought I would be done by now.

Got another Lenovo node, this is going to replace an existing physical box.

I like the small out of the way size.

Eating Fruits

Maybe working on my diet can get me some weight loss. Need to get more fiber, so now will work on snacking on fruits.

Maybe it will balance me out, get the energy I need.

Getting full on fruits and veggies may be a new strategy I need to take.

Christmas Shopping

Dropped a lot of cash on shopping today.

Got some new shoes for myself, I think I needed them because my feet are hurting.

Taking a break today, but sleep and recovery is needed.

Body Sore All Over

Got my 10k steps in, but my body is all sore.

Slept well last night, but the sleep debt caught up.

Took a 4 hour “nap”

All signs of burnout.

Hopefully my sleep clock is back to normal.

Just barely cleared 350

Financial Planning 2024

Today was a little bit more than my finance Friday, I actually started carving out plans for 2024.

I got a bunch of more things to do, and also got non finance goals for 2024 as well.

A lot of those still require money though.
