So I am learning to take time for myself. I'm realizing and many of us, just as we get older, that what we do for a living isn't necessarily how we wanna live. We may even enjoy our jobs and professions, but it's just when you really realize there's more to life than just your job and if you like it. And I'm finding myself cause I can literally work twenty four hours, seven days a week, and I work. That's about that. I work a lot. I do sleep and
everything like that. But I realize for me to be able to give you guys and give everyone content, I need to live life. I need to do something. So I would say this last week, I've been super social, super social. I am very proud of myself. I mean, I've actually carved out time for my friends. So I saw Flomo at the beginning of the week and then we had lunch. It was great. And then I saw my friend Norm and then I saw Tony Moore talk to Twin and ran to my friend Ian Buchanan from
being out and mount So that was fun. On Tuesday, then I saw my girl Marissa, went to her house. We had food. We had calfun chicken, cafes so good. Oh my god, Hey, g I gave her birthday presents. We had a great conversation. Here's funny I gave her. I gave Marissa her birthday presents from July, and I gave Tony gift birthday presents from January. That's not you know. I talked to them on a regular basis. It's like, just getting together is really rough for me because I
was so busy. But I saw Marissa. That was good. I saw my buddy sees her at Speedoh finally I saw it. It so long, it was so good. I was. I was at my storage unit. He has a truck and said, come get me, so you get my stuff from my storage, jumping it home all that. It was just it's so it was so great to see him. I love it. So saw him. Then we went had lunch. We had a great time and talk life co We scars on my friend Sebastian and Joe. We hadn't seen it five years. So there to their house off them,
had a good time. I've been seeing my friend Nathan almost once a week. Tomorrow we're actually doing it when I'll meet up. But tomorrow I got talk to about that I'm like, I'm atually I'm leaving Tannil soon. Once time I want see before I leave, I got to make sure I was and see, I'm actually thinking it. One time I want to see you before I leave because I literally am leaving. I'm leaving in two weeks. And so then okay, so the okay, it's just that. Then I saw then so we see Nathan hung out
with my boy Ricardo, my brother in law. We went, had a little man day, had a good time doing that. Oh my sister saw, Like, I really feel like I've been super social. Also, so you as older folks at fifty plus and this is fifty plus on jailj medium. I also have been taking time out to watch TV and to relax in between work and taking naps and stuff I can. I found that since I have worked
all the time, it's okay to made. You should work from six thirty in the morning till about eight or nine, then stop, go in the garden, do other stuff, lay down, watch them TV, watch the view whatever, watch things that I'm not doing shows for because they go to a lot of shows and all the action shows. So and
that's what really re energizing me. See all these documentaries and programs I've seen a while some for great doing that and then going back to work here for a few more hours, then getting up to you to go away from that. So it's been it's been very much. It's been a leve And then today we had a power outage for for almost two hours. Well actually it was like, well, yes it was over. It was well, yeahs hour, Well it was two hours, two and a half hours that stopped. So I was reading, so yeah,
it's like a chance to sit and read. Today I was organizing my Star Wars shelf a little bit looks much better. So like there's there's things I've been wanting to do. I just like he's like, okay, go do that. Stop work and it'll still be there and I will get out get everything done. Cause I started. I cause
I started, I found myself starting to panic. I'm not a panicker, but for a minute I was like, oh my god, I'm leaving town on the third and I get stuff ready before I leave, and my like and for my company, I make sure I have things set up for the fourth through while I'm gone and when I come back, and I when I come back and leave it again, I and I have I have these audio dramas I gotta edit and put up, and like James, you have Sunday, I'm well and as I'm recording is
I have Monday, I have Tuesday. Wednesday morning. I'm going back to the storage units and that's be fun. Can take care of some stuff there. So I wasn't going. I wasn't going to go At first, I said no, James, because I'm seeing light at the end of tunnels, like, James, continue what you're doing, so lights to tell me because
I'm gonna be gone most of November. I'm like, good, still go in there because I work, Like the other day I did my mom's house, are garage, I have jump off so like I'm seen, I'm starting to see movement. I don't want to stop that. So I said, Okay, now Tuesday Wednesday morning, Tuesday, and I might decide not to go because I have a big organizing project and I'm giving three days up of my life to do
this project. So I'm like, ooh, maybe I shouldn't go back it because because I'm doing good, maybe I shouldn't go back out there. And maybe I should take a break because we're getting there. I can always there's time. I do have some time in November to go back out there. I do. There's a couple of there's a couple of days I could go out there and do that. But I was like, I probably should be. I shouldn't overdo it. Maybe I should still stay home. So I'm
going back in for I see. You gotta things smarter or not harder too. My body's a little older, I get I was. I was worn out from all the manual labor I did this week. It's good for me. I'm glad I did it, but I'm like, I need I probably need to save my strength. Plus. So here's how it goes. Tuesday Wednesday, Monday, Tuesday Wednesday home, get all of the sudden to get done for my business, get all in order, get all done because Thursday I have But on Thursday I have what you call it
for three hours. It could be it'll be like five with travel and all stuff. I have a Y and R event to go to and you're gonna rest of the Tellerson City and so I'm assuming Thursday will be my day of doing that and they would have a video finished. I'd get putting that together putting that out the whole Chamain. Then I was thinking Friday, we'll go streach you on Friday. I say no, but I'm like, no, I just to take the time off. So maybe I'll make that my kind of time off. Saturday, I have
a zoom. I'll give myself together and ready. See now, I'm thinking that's what I think I would take. I think I see you talking to you guys. I'm thinking that this is what you do to get older. You're talking out. I'm not gonna go to Storgien this week, but I don't want. I don't want to overdo it, and there's things I need to get done. So I'm
gonna get things. I'moulna get things done here at the house and my business, get all that straightened out this week through through Saturday, then Sunday morning, head out to my client's house Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and with them and only them. I have some stuff too that we lay it down to release my stuff. But other than that, I'm with them full stop, get stuff together, and then the thirtieth I'm back with me and then I have a couple of events in between there, but getting ready
for my trip to leave one a third. So I'm you know, I'm like, okay, okay, this is working. We were getting there. This is working. And then when i come back, I'm home for like three or four days, but I'm also but then I'm gone for a week. It's Satura's just go. But then I'm home for like listen from like almost almost two weeks. So my thought is like, Okay, I think I could do the storage you did, then go back there, do some more, get it cleared out whatever it's instance that week and then
and then an December and then had again. Then I have December anyuay. So, but I'm also looking at also vacations because even though I'm going to Indiana, it's gonna be work. I'm going for work. I'm gonna try have some fun while I'm there. I'm going for work. Looking at a cruise because cruises are like the one thing that I could, you know, during the winter time, it's perfect ta get a little three day or somewhere, get me out of here for three days as a little
bonus for myself. Like James, you worked hard, it's it's like here you go. So I think about that too. Actually, for January, I give myself a little break. I worked very hard this year. It's a thing for me. So I think with that you said, look, it is that you folks very important. But these are things you think when you're when you're fifty plus and you're still working,
these are things you think about. You have to think about, and you have to figure out a balance between friendship because friendships are very important even as you get older, friendships, your own health, dividing and conquering, you know, whatever it needs to be done. Also balancing out, working smarter, not harder. All this stuff is part of it's part of life period. But as you get a little older, it really makes a difference, it really does. This is fifty plus, you're
on jail j media, I'm James ly Junior. Like comments describe and I what's watch you next time?
