May 2024 Life and Feelings Update

Hello, dear blog readers. In this post, I’d like to share a recent interaction with a friend that made a lasting impact. The pivotal moment wasn’t rooted in our conversation’s content or tone, but in the events that transpired during his visit to lend a hand. I had enlisted his help to set up a vertical monitor arrangement, only to discover that it caused neck discomfort. Regrettably, we had to dismantle his handiwork, which understandably led to his agitation. He maintained that he wasn’t upset, yet his body language seemed to tell a different story.

We haven’t talked in a while..

Apologies for my recent absence from posting on my blog. Lately, I've found myself less motivated to update it, partly because it seems that only a handful of wonderful individuals take the time to read it. To those few, I extend my heartfelt gratitude; your engagement means a lot to me, and I'd love to hear more from you. As many of you are aware, I've been preoccupied with managing my weight. Currently, I'm hovering around 175-178 pounds, though my body has undergone some changes following the removal of my gallbladder a few months ago. Thankfully, the surgery went smoothly…
