Marking 52

I’m kinda guessing that this is what adulting looks like — you hit your birthday, you have grandiose plans that involve deep-seated laziness:

  • Playing video games
  • Watching football
  • Catch up on watching “Silo”
  • Maybe having a nap or something

Seems pretty legit, right? Yeah, well, it’s 5:45 a.m. as I write this, and I’ve done the following since I woke up:

  • Ordered a couple of books off Amazon (adding to the insurmountable reading pile)
  • Reviewed my to-do list
  • Fixed the webserver issues I was having for this site
  • Decided that I’ll probably spend a good chunk of my day attacking my to-do list
  • read 50+ pages

What’s that to-do list look like?

  • 30 minutes guitar practice
  • clean my desk
  • change the litterboxes
  • work on productivity widget for WordPress
  • t-shirt design to Cotton Bureau
  • do 1 or more leetcode problems
  • do 15 minutes of housework
  • catch up on freelance work — data import, bug fixes, writing SOW for new client
  • design shim for SPD cleats, maybe order 3d print
  • 2x job applications
  • scan in more Magic cards
  • play Magic with Eddy
  • work on Udemy coursework
  • write for at least 10 minutes

The thing is? Most of that to-do list looks like fun to me. Maybe not the desk and litterboxes.

Is this growing up? Maybe.
