Perfectly Human

After college I kept creating. It’s pretty cool to see everything that I’ve worked on. The issue is… I didn’t organize anything. In college I had a system and everything stayed well organized. After graduation, I began throwing every into the drives themselves, no folders, no titles, just thousands of files. My handwritten notes and notebooks are in the same shape.

After I went without the internet, my calendar became a disaster. Yesterday and today I tackled my drives and email inboxes (some had ceased to function😏). My calendar and email are connected with my to-do list and everything is streamlined. Reoccurring meetings are scheduled with the correct contact info attached (yeah me!!!). Now hopefully things will run smoother. It’s been REALLY BUMPY lately!

The next phase is to go through to organize and label all of my project files. Then, it’s on to organizing my physical notebooks and binders. Rather than type everything like I used to… I’m taking photos with my phone and putting them in the folders that I created.🤯 This has been a fun project. It feels good to finally have the structure I’ve needed to support everything I’m trying to do.

As for the classes and stuff, I’m holding off until March 30th for the soft launch. I’ll begin releasing mini-classes at that time. I’d like to spend more time doing a better job planning, filming, and editing. Right now, I keep telling myself it’s better to just let stuff fly out of my mouth. But… is that really true though? I end up having to cut 75% of what I’m talking about because I go off track. 😁 WAY OFF INTO THE WOODS exploring caves and crap. 💩 (Oh now that I mention it, I came across a poem that I wrote about throwing cow poop. I had forgotten about that one. LOL.)

I’m thinking it may be time to just suck it up and read the darn scripts I wrote! Why I won’t? Oh gosh… 🤷‍♀️ no clue? Probably because I don’t want to look dumb, so I make myself look dumb? Now THAT IS frickin’ dumb! Oh… look, another marble. How’d it get on the floor? 😁Come back little marble, come back…

My budgeting did not go as planned. I spent money on myself for my birthday. I regret nothing! Spending money on myself is something that I rarely do.

This Summer after our move, my daughter and I will restart the musical skit project. Right now’s not the best time to invest in very silly creative ordeals. It’s quite a bit of work. So, I’m writing things down as they pop into my head. That way when we go back to the project the entire collection of ideas are in one spot.

I’m still working on the song lyrics that I wrote. I started recording a few melodies and chorus lines that I like. I forgot that when I was younger and living in my car, I used to sing my own songs all of the time. I just never had any way to capture them. It’s becoming much easier, almost like a language that I forgot that I knew? Any how… I’m slowly plucking away at them. The issue I am having is, I didn’t record the melodies that I heard in my head when I was writing the lyrics. When I try to go back to find them or create a new ones, I can’t. Not yet at least. So… new one’s keep falling out but I’m recording them vocally while I’m writing the lyrics. That way I miss less of whatever’s trying to be expressed.

I’m also happy to write, that I’ve made it through the annual paperwork and the “extra bills” fiasco. My stress levels are returning back to their baseline.

I also realized that most of my food is consumed as snacks. I didn’t buy enough and forgot to bake my own. So… I did that today. I made 18 mini-loaves of high protein banana bread. I added an extra two scoops of protein powder, high protein oats, extra eggs, no sugar, and yogurt rather than butter. It’s the best version of my recipe thus far. I’m contemplating baking for the Farmer’s Market to make some extra cash before we move. I don’t think I have the time or energy though. We’ll see? One thing I do know, is how to streamline a kitchen to produce a lot of food in a short amount of time, for very little money. It’s just not a priority to cook for people outside of my family.

Thanks for reading my long winded post. I hope… whoever you are, wherever you are, that you are well.

Take care.
