  • Only ...

    Another day, but as all of the other “364” ones, any of them count.

    I was way to tired today, even had to take an Aspirin in the afternoon, the wind and pressure changes, my body/head didn’t take them well.

    I watched a few YTVs and hopefully learned something, I cleaned in the house and was around the animals, too.

    Tomorrow and the next couple of days, there should be sunshine and I’m looking forward to that.

    More energy and a clear head I wish for anyone, because we’ve a lot to do - specially more of the “right stuff” - that means, less busyness, more thinking before applying, it’s about survival of and on this planet, really 😉

    I wish everyone a Happy New Year and that we are allowed to wake up tomorrow, again.

  • Another winter ...

    Storm with rain is approaching and it isn’t forecasted that bad, but the wind is already picking up.

    I did 10km today and still hope that my financial overall situation will change soon, don’t get me wrong, I’m so much better of than so many others, but the time is ticking (not about age) to pay off my debt.

    I know, what little issue that is in the greater scheme of things, but I’m trapped in a system that really doesn’t care and talk about it. So many others simple accept and “disappear”.

    I had a good day, felt a little alone after my daughter got picked up and feel the reducing of sugar already, withdrawal symptoms.

  • I knew it ...

    The night was not relaxing at all, my stomach was working most of the time, so no time to sleep. We also get a weather change and my head knows all about it.

    I hope, for another good week, to be and stay alive, because all life is precious.

  • I'm in a "dispute" ...

    With a dealer on AliExpress. I don’t buy often there, last time in 2018.

    The problem, a relatively “cheap” sensor device isn’t working properly and I’m guessing it is only a contact issue. But sending the device back, they will only throw it away. I can’t be sure to be able to repair it myself, so I want to meet half way with the seller. That they give me for half the price of the unit, I’m willing to pay, a replacement.

    Not sure, if they get that and want to do it.

    We had sunshine for a little while today, it gave me lots of energy, I washed the car, brought the horses carrots, and walked the fields.

    I also ate to much in the evening, it will backfire, I know.

  • A very dull day ...

    And I was very tired today.

    I did not change over the course of the day and I hope, for more energy tomorrow.

    A little bit of sunshine wouldn’t hurt.

    I’m also not sure if the lorry sale will go through, it feels like it won’t.
    And no other sources of money open up either, so another lost opportunity 🤔

  • My neighbours ...

    Had invited me for lunch today and I was happy to had company and no cooking.

    So tired today after sleeping through, but only 0630 hours and a lot of dreaming.

    I also walked the 8km in the afternoon, ate to much sweets, so it won’t be compensate and sugar … as we know, causes inflammation, luckily my back does quite good again.

    I hope, for another and better nights sleep and a good Friday to follow.

  • The whole day ...

    Alone I was, as usual on Christmas.

    Not really alone, as I’ve the animals around, but “desired company” for sure, would have been nice.

    I did a lot of small things, I walked a 8km round, enjoying to be able to use my contact lenses in this misty, foggy weather. After quite a while, I’m now trying to wear them again part-time for jobs where I’ve to wear a mask, e.g.

    Not a bad day at all.

    I hope, peace finds its way and hope won’t die out on this planet.

  • This one thought ...

    If we are really living in “the matrix” already and I can’t break free from it, at least I should be capable of creating my own.

    So that everything is like I want it to.

    So far, I’m not very successful, because there are still unfriendly people around, not caring ones, and still ongoing wars and destruction.

    So do I have to try harder 🤔

    I wrote the invoice for the lorry yesterday and made mistakes, then I also was reminded to put the wrong amount on it - not really, but I calculated something in, that isn’t included - a lot of errors, letting me look like dubious.

    Something, I don’t want to be and now I’m looking unserious - it’s hard to become trusted - to get it right. And the point creating this f##ing mistrust, is always involves money.

  • It looks like ...

    I really sold the lorry. For sure you can trust these things only, when the money changed hands.

    I hope, I do the right things, not generating losses, when investing the money, after taxes. It getting harder and harder to doing well with little money, as they elites definitely take care on that, making always more out of your money, than you yourself. That’s not blaming, that are facts.

    I’m just watching “Oppenheimer” and it is sad to see, how easy the masses getting it wrong, what really counts - life.

    I was able to be there for my daughter today, brought her to friends. On the way back, I wished all the handful of people, who I regularly talking to, the “Merry Christmas and a Happy new Year” … we do need all the good, we can gather together on this world.

  • A stormy day ...

    With a constant change between, sunshine, rain and hail.

    I walked with my daughter, up to her mom’s house, I’m happy to moved my butt - it was a love - hate relationship with the weather 😁

    A lot of household work during the afternoon. I didn’t sleep a lot last night, again. For that, my wake hours ran very well, still do.

    I hope, a good week lies ahead, for everyone.

  • I moved ...

    A lot of stuff physically and thankfully my back kept “up and running”.

    I drove the lorry around, as the interested party came looking at it again. It was fun and sad at the same time, to move the lorry around without bad conscious, but for the last time maybe.

    I can’t keep the lorry, have to sell, have to open the possibilities to become financially free again.

    I hope, the lorry will be valuable to the new owner(s), because it needs repairs and I don’t know for myself how deep they have to go. Would feel better, to be able to fix it first, sell it later - but I simple can’t.

    Also that they use the lorry wisely, not driving to much, without real and proper reasons.

  • Half a day ...

    Of bright skies.

    I’m thankful for that, as well as being able to get everything out of my lorry, because the interested party is coming tomorrow for another look.

    In the evening, as I picked up my daughter from her friend, I started a conversation, that may includes a job offer.

    I did one stupid thing, too. I swept the floor of the shop, unfinished concrete floor, my lungs didn’t took the “cement dust” well.

    Ah and tomorrow, the shortest day, longest night and than it get better, every day 😃

  • A brighter day ...

    And how much “life energy” this provides immediately for me, also the last night was much more relaxed, even so I started early today.

    I ordered the last time before Christmas food. I didn’t get the much needed cherry picker for the longer time period, as I would have worked completely anlone, over the Christmas holidays. 😢

    I’m happy, that all the animals on the fields, in the house, are doing well and that’s all what I could ask for today.

    A hot bath in the evening, helped my back, as the temperatures in the house, because of failing plumbing (wrong sizing) are between 15º-18º (only one room get up to 20º). I also try to avoid burning to much oil (financial reason & for the planet).

    I would immediately do anything for better insulation and to get a heat pump installation. But I wouldn’t get a cent for that, as we have lot of money for complete useless stuff, like drive the wars.

    It was a good day and the “hope & work” for solutions is going on, as I’ll not yet, giving up.

  • To hunt for ...

    Ghosts and while doing so, loosing everything along the way.

    Human literature includes it all already, but would we learn from it 🤔

    The few who do, won’t be enough anymore, I think at times. But also I’ve to remind myself - there is still more, to not give up, to not let bitterness throw you over.

    I had another, restless night, woke up often, cooked at 0620 in the morning, to lay myself down again after 0700. Getting up at 0930 again, I wouldn’t be able to do that, with the still overwhelming amount of, if I had a 9-5 job(s).

    I try to rent machinery (cherry picker) to finally cut back the tree who threatens to fall on the house, because even you call people in Ireland for doing a job, they don’t show up - maybe it’s the same anywhere else already, too 🤔

    Still wondering that the world - human created parts of it - are still working at all, or it’s my exclusive little corner of “The Matrix” only, that doesn’t 🙄😁

  • I'm really ...

    Getting mentally tired at times, taking care of the old dog, myself limited with the back at present again.

    I can’t really go anywhere, without having a guilty conscience. It is not fun at all in the moment, but as usual … I’m still alive, so giving up, nor surrender is an option.

    I’m still so far better off, than so many other humans on the planet. The only irritation is, I’m not really surrounded by other people in “my situation”. That sometimes causes additional (conceited) pressure for myself.

    Specially, when people see “all the things” around me, but I’m limited to act more with and/or on them. Also as I own nothing anymore, financially speaking … nothing really belongs to me anymore.

    That’s one of the reasons, for following my own motto …

    I will be prepared if anything changes, but the probabilities are against me … as seen from myself, as an “optimistic realist”. 👻

  • Has anyone ...

    An explanation how the “Fremen” dismount from the worms, in Dune 🤔🙄😁

    I don’t get that part, or continuously missing it, as I watched the movie(s).

    I walked in the morning 10k, but my back is still letting me know, it’s inflamed and doesn’t let me off the hook just yet. My higher body weight annoys me, too.

    So concentration doesn’t come easy and tiredness is my constant companion.

    No money comes in, so the hope, I’ll still have more than a couple of years ahead, in a world based on money only, is fading quickly.

    Getting old on the street, not able to support my children at all, isn’t what I rooting for, but it looks inevitable.

  • I did ...

    Binge watching, eating, sleeping today - that was my whole energy budget, to be spent over the course of the day.

    I do hope, tomorrow I’ll be energised, less concerned about my back’s status and capable to move myself and “life” forward in a good way.

    I wish you all around the best, too.

  • Not so ...

    Great today and my body weight that went up again, isn’t helping my back at all.

    Besides to much sugar supports inflammation, but the addiction to it - crazy to write that - is stronger, than dealing with the pain.

    I walked after sunset 6k, to at least counter act a little.

    But it was okay, way slower as without “troubles”, but I did it and that counts - to not give up, to not surrender.

  • Quite sad ...

    Today. There are reasons and writing about them doesn’t really help, too.

    I’m already very thankful that my back kept steady. I drove even 26k with the bike, in the wet, cold we have here. I would prefer even colder, but without the humidity.

    I hope, tomorrow it will be an even better day, that the earth still rotates and I’m allowed to wake up on it.

  • A good day ...

    Because everything worked out, my back kept steady the whole day long.

    I do think, I was successful with my final attempt (after a couple of them), to properly fix the toilet reservoir (no leaking, use of 3D printed part).

    I watched in the evening Dune (part 2), but in a way it is depressing … usually war, but no time to even think about all the destruction and losses in life shown - like in the real world …

    … an Austrian former politician who died, who also was convicted because of false statements … it was mentioned, what a great person he was … as long as you had a lot of money, it doesn’t matter anymore, if you did more or less wrong in your life, “life ethics” definitely went down the drain.

    Who wonders, looking at the whole political system in the US and so many other places.

    The only relief, they may die a year later in their bunkers, still we’ll all die sooner, as nobody cares anymore about sustainability for life on the planet itself anyhow … at least, not enough - because the power/greed/ego wars are still going strong.

  • My back ...

    Worries me, so sensible, a lot of short stinging pain, to much for a day.

    I had, still have to repair my second toilet syphon, now keeping it from leaking.

    Yup, I’m afraid … I can’t afford it, to not be capable of helping my old dog up, doing stuff, it is simple annoying when you’re alone, without “real money”.

    I hope, overnight my back will relax and I’m better together tomorrow, more positive and optimistic again.

  • A day ...

    My father turned 81 today, with all “his ballast”, he’s still going strong.

    Looking at myself, it must be a bad joke, at times. My back wasn’t feeling great today, but it also didn’t get worse.

    I did my water run to my neighbours and altogether 8k on foot, followed by a hot bath to ease the back.

    I had a lot of thoughts today about “Open Source”, “Makers” - to not producing more trash the planet, in the end, we ourselves have to swallow - including a fallback to my own “useless dreams” (🤔) of giving Porsche just ~200k Euro for a nice looking EV, for sure 🙄🙃.

    That we have to get rid of our complete screwed up “endless growth capitalistic economies” and really embrace “REAL circular economies”. Without all the lies, we hear today (every day) about, how great the status quo is.

    And the best, for people who don’t believe in “man made climate change” …

    It doesn’t really matter anymore, this kind of changes will f### up everyone’s life, not only a few - billions - of us will suffer, so WAKE UP !!!

  • Interrupted sleep ...

    An early start and did not get what I needed, even in the shop “for Professionals”, for that I drove in the city.

    I tried to make the best out of it, combined it with other open points, the outcome was sad, except buying groceries.

    Felt like AI, you can ask it about anything, but nothing is available, or get physically done 😉

    So the tools and other stuff have to be found online and hopefully, I can afford it.

    The loss is twofold anyhow, for me money and time, for the environment pollution, that could be avoided completely.

    I also learned today, at least it looks like this way, that the construction equipment producers are in the hands of the oil lobby. A lot of machinery, that was undersized with regards battery size anyhow, completely disappeared from their offerings.

    And a few “believers in money” burning the Amazonas down to provide the rest of the world with Soja - not to feed the people, to feed cows - and breeding them themselves - if this isn’t stopping soon … I guess its already to late, we are f###ed, more so our kids.

    We’re still putting effort in completely the wrong priorities and the people listen to all the wrong arguments, I think.

  • Another round ...

    Of working in the house. Learning, what wasn’t done properly.

    My back had to say “Hello” too, couldn’t leave me alone - very annoying and hope it doesn’t develop further. I don’t want to “not walk”, or only under pain.

    The day was windy and cold and the days getting very short, too.
    Looking forward to the 21st.

    I hope, my back let me do the work, I’ve to do. That the week will become a good one.

  • I feel ...

    Blessed, as always when bad weather doesn’t cause damage around our place here.

    I had a very unrestful night, but a hot bath and a 35 minute nap in the afternoon really helped a lot to restore “power”.

    I tested (learned to use) some tools, prepared a computer for future use, tested an old TV (learned, that its first HDMI port died) still well usable for my case as control monitor and did the cooking, even that went well.

    I got my eBike seat damper, hope it will improve my ride, specially for my back.

    I brought my daughter in the morning to her first driving lesson, too.

    All went well, it was a good day.
