  • Today was an action-packed day. And by action-packed, I mean information-packed. I sat in on two weekly live video chats with course instructors for two different courses I’m enrolled. Each Thursday, Pat Flynn hosts a Zoom call for his students and Brad Hussey hosts a Youtube Live call for his students. On this particular day,…

  • Podcasting Blogger is the news right now. It’s about 40% of what I think about working on right now. I’m a little tripped up with where to start. But I know that I want to get out information on how to began recording. That’s probably the most important thing to anyone who doesn’t already have…

  • I appreciated holidays when I had a full-time, government job. But now I appreciate when everyone else is at work, so I can get things done. I’m completely aware that this post makes me sound like a terrible person. Understood. Loud and clear. You will not get an argument from me. I am a selfish…

  • I played a lot of Words with Friends today. Definitely dodging being constructive. A cool Netflix documentary about the failed Fyre Festival. I was completely glued to it. There was something spectacular about watching something so big fail so much. I think part of the appeal was watching the created of it be delusional. That…

  • Don’t remember much of today. I do remember the part where my doctor won’t be writing a letter to validate my disabilities for self-employment election in the VR&E Program. That hurts. His reasons make sense. Just doesn’t help me move forward. I’ll have go to go each Doctor that has treated me for each of…

  • It was a face paced day. Actually felt like a Monday. I’ve met my VR&E counselor. I got a lot more information than I thought that I knew already. I see why they give you counselors. There’s 1000 documents surrounding VA programs like these, and you really don’t know what the important ones are. It…

  • Today was definitely a Tuesday. The theme this morning was get medical stuff together for the meeting with the Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor on Monday. Still a little nervous about it. Shouldn’t have read so many horror stories. It appears that your service-connected disabilities have to prevent you from getting a job similar to what you…

  • There was definitely work done today. I have to say it out loud to sorta believe it. I got my mobile landing page fixed. Turns out there’s a meta property that needs to be in the same meta tag as the view scale. It’s “shrink-to-fit=no”. I’m convinced someone reading this needed to know that. Today,…

  • I wrapped up the second part of Defining Success Series on mikewriting.com today. It’ll publish in the morning. I’m sharing my personal and professional goals. That was a lot harder than I expected. Not the sharing part, but the listing part. I forced myself to pick “finish lines”. I mean I listed the goals with an estimated…

  • The get away was worth it. Brief. But I got some work done and a wrote up some new ideas. I like this theme. I might have mentioned it before, but it helps my writing about people when I’m around people. That’s been a missing element since retirement. I’m gonna add some other activities to…

  • My application for the VA’s Vocational Rehabilitation Program was accepted. I’ll sit down with my counselor on Monday. My plan is…well, my intention is to stay self-employed and get into a coding school and use my GI Bill. There are two coding institutions that take GI Bill. This is an area I haven’t gotten much…

  • Maybe it was time to leave the zip code. I haven’t been very constructive, but I have felt more light. Less weighed down by that feeling of needing to accomplish 40 things a day. I’m entertaining the idea of taking some hops – Space Available flights. To nowhere in particular. Just seeing what’s out there…
