    Apr 13 2025

    I briefly felt like myself again this week, and then promptly got sick again before another Friday shift. Ugh. Not a fun couple of weeks but even during times like this I am keeping my goals in the front of my mind and I'm still showing up every day! We WILL find victory!

  • Episode #82: Rollerblading and Re-Inspiring.
    Mar 29 2025

    Even though my dedicated athletic goal is on hold at the moment, I'm still eating well, and I may have found a new hobby to keep me a little extra active! Turns out I love rollerblading and I'm gonna get a good chunk of time in every week. Also, I'm back at it again with my novel and world building! I found some inspiration by looking back.

  • Episode #81: I Earned my first HVAC Certification!
    Mar 22 2025

    Another two weeks of hard work down! Sorry for skipping another week, I have no excuse except I got distracted playing video games lol. But I'm super proud of my career efforts! I'm making progress! I have my first certification! Basically what this one means is that I can do HVAC work by myself at a job site, as long as I'm working under the umbrella of someone who has an official state contractor's certification, or working as part of a company. If I didn't have an EPA certification, my boss, or someone who did, would have to be at the job site watching over me.
