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…

I’m going to stop labeling myself “better in small doses” and “not a team player”. Sure, I 100% believe it, but I feel like that kind of thinking is gonna hinder me in playing a bigger game – especially in the entrepreneur world. Maybe I’ll figure out different mantras to chant to myself so I…

I leaped and submitted auditions in Voices.com today. I set the target of 10 auditions and got 9. I’m good with that. We’ll see what happens. I expect to get picked up about 1 in 40. That’s because I’ve been listening to podcasts from other actors registered on the site. I gather that a good…

Hit he code pretty heavy today. I think for my sanity’s sake I should stop expecting to FEEL productive and just tell myself that I was. The feeling just isn’t gonna happen. I’m not sure what that’s about. I suspect that because there’s so much I want to do that I can only chip away…

There will be fireworks tonight. The lights are my favorite part. Thinking about fireworks reminds me of the first time I tried to buy a lighter in Alabama around 4th of July. (I moved from Hartford, CT to New Castle, AL in 1990.) The gas station cashier told me I wasn’t old enough to buy…
