The Post

 It feels good to sit to write. It has been a while, ena?

The weeks have been challenging. It's not so much that anything new and exciting is happening. It's that all of the old and mundane is finally situating into its proper place. It has certainly been a process, but it is coming along and I like what I see taking root.

I'm forcing myself into the 3 day off, 4 Day work cycle. I have not been very good at all about following it. I've adjusted along the way...because I could.

Just Because You Could Doesn't Mean You Should

And this is what I have been coming to terms with. This is what I have been handed and I must stick to it. No matter what I may think is best, no matter what excuses I could make. So, that is what I have been doing. In fact, I am committing to full 8 hour days when I work. That may not sound impressive but those 8 hours do a number on my body. I have been sore every morning since Friday. I would like to increase the time at least 1-2 days a week, but, for now, as long as I commit to the 8 hours I am satisfied.

It seems to be working - slowly, but working.

My days off are finding their way, one week at a time. They serve a multitude of purposes. I need to first and foremost accomplish things - tasks, projects, appointments. For instance, last week I cleaned and replaced the missing screening on the two windows. This week I want to focus on taxes. I also need to manage all of my weekly errands - groceries, laundry, storage, etc. Those things seem to be landing on Wednesdays for a while. This week will be Tuesday but after that Mayor has Rehab on Tuesdays and they are also slated for Potential Safety Meetings.

Safety Meetings is another area that is evolving. They are becoming more regular than they had been previously. They have taken place in various locations, including right here in The Chalet. I realize, of course, that this may seem like a juvenile thing by which to gauge my life, but Safety Meetings are [and always have been] more than just a social time. They are healing and inspiring and comforting. They are Divine.

Social life, overall, has also improved. I am communicating more frequently with friends and I am seeing friends more frequently [beyond Safety Meetings.] This includes going to shows to support friends in their endeavors. It has always been important to me and I have never been able to manage it as I am currently.

My finances are seeing growth of their own. I'm not becoming wealthy by any stretch of the imagination. I still have more debt behind me than I care to ever think about. However, I am slowly seeing little increases. My bills are staying paid. I have plenty of food and supplies. I'm holding my own. No overdrafts or red numbers on the balance sheet. No needing help with anything. I am increasing my expenditures a bit at a time. I have 2 new streaming subscriptions - under $11 per month for both. I've also started contributing $15 per month to my favorite community driven radio station. I'm spending money on things foe me - like theatre shows. I've been gathering more little stashes. I have my Special Fund, which has grown and maintained the highest pot for the longest time. I decided to diversify my funds and eventually started storing occasional funds in my lockbox. I have it there to fill in the gaps, replenish the wallet, things of that sort. Speaking of my wallet it is currently carrying almost double the usual $20. I also starting gathering bits at a time in my CashApp account. I decided to start using it for all of my miscellaneous purchases. When I transfer the money over, I round up - to at least the nearest $5. Little by little it increases.

My Spirit is becoming more balanced. There has been more time and focus available for spiritual things.

WTML is revamping. I have time to focus on video things. The videos continue to take their own individual formats. now, I just need to return my focus to writing as well.

All in all, life is satisfactory. At this point, I am just going to kind of go on Auto-pilot, let the cards fall where they may, and reassess myself at Beltane.

If you’re not already there, go to the Welcome to my Life Facebook page – WTML. Or the YouTube channel – WelcomeToMyLife08. You can also find me on Facebook under Rev. Matt. And there is the newer TikTok @WTML23

I appreciate you all.

So, without hesitation, for now and for always, from here in Geistopia, this is your beloved Rev…
