Word of the Day:払拭

ふっしょく・wiping out, dispelling (doubts, fears, negative impressions)

The word of the day is odd because ChatGPT is choosing it so it doesn't necessarily go with what I am doing but whatever.

I did learn some Japanese today becaue I had a tech issue that requires someone with both tech and japanese knowledge to help me solve.

I am also trying to stay pretty faithful to my Paper Projects so I have been avoiding writing in Vocal for a bit because it simply wasn't on my Paper projects.

I think this is the best way to go about stuff becauze I do have a tendency to just waste a lot of time just writing stuff and getting caught up in my own thoughts.

I do have it on my Paper project to convert some of these old Journals into stories which will be weird... I am not sure if I should just make them Word of the Days or its own subcatagory like the Jail Journal and such...

I will think about it a bit more.

Since it is really good weather today I have been enjoying it too much and actually wanting to work more on my TODOs than my Paper Projects lately.

I did let the timer go off 2 times today so I will have to check the mail and wash some clothes to appease that mess. I don't know if I necessarily want to go somewhere else right now.

I am just typing a .ittle bit now because I thought it might make me feel a bit better.

I wrote a lot of people trying to figure out that tech issue and it sort of emotionally/mentally wore me out.

I asked mom and dad whether I should get rid of these journals after I convert them but... well I just picked up a pink one next to me. It was from when I was living in the other apartment. I didn't have a year for it but the journal starts in February.

Weekly Focus: Learn to enjoy things more.

Interesting. I was working on Fiverr and Upwork... I also was trying to figure out Twitch and Vocal..

I even usedd Trulancer apparently and I did have ideas to use Youtube but I didn't implement them at that time.

I got my TJX card ( I am still in debt over that shit right now )

Some of the habits I was trying to incorporate at the time were: Leaving the house, drinking more water, spending more time at the gym, taking out the trash, brushing my teeth.

To be fair this is all still pretty valid. Even if I don't necessarily keep these journals I need to go through them and see what I want to keep, or reincorporate in my life and what I have learned from.

I was talking to the property manager Rejina during that time and I think I barely met Yuuichirou so.. this is at least like 4 years ago.

To be honest, adding Paper Projects from my old Journals feels really daunting as it doesn't feel like I am necessarily getting stuff done but... I don't know I guess I got to trust the process.

Yea it is kind of insane but I also realize that i have to kind of bulldoze through some stuff before it comes out even.

I remember Yuuichirou bought me that lamp and put ti together for me. That was so sweet of him.

Well anyway I need to sort of finish this post as quickly as possible so I can go over to the next tab and figure out my new blog.
