I’ve taken to this new story collection idea. My wife and I ran through ideas for stories and I’ve sketched a few things out. I understand where to take the story, and it’s going to be like writing as another person. It will be fun.
Other things:
I’m attempting to get in better shape. I’m not overweight, only out of shape. It’s something I’ve needed to tackle in a while.
I used to work out feverishly. I worked in a gym when I was 21 and put on decent size then. I’m working to get my mind out of the bodybuilder mentality and more the “you’re going to be 49 in two weeks” mentality.
My body, especially my joints can’t handle heavy loads on them like they used to.
I’m reading In The Miso Soup By Ryu Murakami and The Chaos Agent by Mark Greaney. I also have The Light Night To Kill Nazis by David Agranoff. That last one is more of a dessert than an appetizer. Miso Soup is the appetizer, Chaos Agent, a decently sized book, is the main course.
I started watching Rick and Morty this week. My son has asked me about it, even though I’ve never watched it. I know about that terribleness of the voice actor.
I am seeing Captain America tonight with my son. We usually see the smaller Marvel films together and the bigger ones as a family.
The day job of bartending is good this week. Made some money and luckily I do not have to have surgery on my foot right now. I recently obtained my medical card in this state. I’m using a THC based lotion for it and it’s amazing.
I have better movement in it and less pain then I’ve had in a months. I’ll be using that lotion for a long time.
As you read above, I’ll be 49 in two weeks. I’m going to the local sushi restaurant. It’s quite good. Better than it should be for being landlocked.
Haven’t commented about getting a gift from my wife and kids. I know my son will find a Lego of some sort. He knows me.
We’re hoping to get our tax money back soon. It will help with bills. We may need to get some work done to our yard. We can’t afford to have someone do it. It needs a sprinkler system and good grass, but we can’t afford that.
This turned sideways.
I’ll be working on the collection. It’s a rideshare themed Collection. As I mentiond in a daily post, I had a guest who drives for themself rather than a rideshare. It was a good conversation and storytime. They’re awesome and they gave me permission to use whatever I heard in stories.
I’ll be doing a little of that. I’ll also be casting nets on other stories. I have one acceptance this year and one rejection. I have another story out. I’m hoping to hear about it by my birthday.
Have a good rest of your week,
Brian
