Another Day, Another Dollar

(One of my actual SIMS that I've played ...lol)

Yesterday’s Thankful for: Finally felt better. Still not 100%, but muuuuuch better. All the games and books I was able to buy really cheered me up too, so thank you family and friends for gift cards <3!  

QotD:  "Success is not final; failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts." -- Winston S. Churchill 

I forgot my planner today (fail on my part), so I searched ‘random quotes’ and selected the first one that popped up. I actually agree with this. Failure really is NOT fatal, and yet I allow my fear of failure to control my life.  It’s why I never finish actually writing a book (okay I finished ONCE … but never got it looked at, etc.). Fear of rejection or negativity holds me back so much. I don’t know how to find that courage to continue … really wish I did know where to find it or how to gain it.  

I’m thinking I need a stand up desk for work (or home). I spend way too much time sitting and my ass is starting to pay for it. It just feels sore. I do get up a lot through the day to walk around or stretch, but apparently it’s not enough (and some days so swamped to get up as much as I should). Typically at home, I work out quickly for 30 minutes and then sit for another 6-8 hours … still do the occasional get up, but it’s clearly not enough.  

I’m going to look into prices, but I know they’re pretty damn expensive. Anyone know of a good site for cheap-ish ones?  

Pretty excited to get out of here and play my new SIMS 4 expansions. I am trying to decide how I want to do this legacy and how much to actually screen cap, share, etc. I definitely will do a different journal though since the couple of people I have on here aren’t really into video games (and I’ll link it just in case).  

I’m also looking into blogger for this. Or word press. I have a couple of people who write on blogger and have been trying to get me to move there, but I dunno if I’d like it. Has anyone ever used it? Pros? Cons? I’d definitely still post here (it would literally just be a copy/paste over there if I did this).  I kind of actually want to do a post in add me, but I want to be sure I actually post for a good month before I do something like that. I don’t want to be that person that says ADD ME then stops writing completely for months on end (as I have in the past!).  

Today has been one clusterfuck of problem people after the other… I am already ready for another vacation lol.  

DID finally finish reading Yellowrock #13 so w00t. I’m not onto other books. It would be great if I could finish at least two books this week since I sorta want to get ahead of the game instead of fall behind, but I also am not going to stress about it. I just miss reading books lol and I have to tell myself not to rush ahead to read all the books in a series. This definitely burnt me out at the end of the year and I have learned the lesson!
