Another perfect day

11:47 PM

Today has been excellent. I feel like this is all deja vu. I had a few different things causing me stress yesterday so I think it was last night that I made a to do list for today. Or maybe I made the to do list this morning. Either way, there were 4 tasks involving things sort of outside of my comfort zone, and I was able to get them all done today.

What was the first task that I completed? Oh yeah, it was just to send a bill to one of my clients and remind them they haven't paid me for the previous month yet either. This was probably the second most important task, and the easiest one to do, so I did this first.

The next task I worked on was to cancel all my current Patreons. I've been supporting some patrons and giving around $130 a month for a few years now. I do like and support other vegan activists and I like what they do. I'm just going to take a break from this for now for personal financial reasons. I have to start taking care of my parents more soon since my mom will be retiring, and she can't support herself. My dad is in an even worse position. So my expenses for them will probably be increasing, even more than $130 a month.

I called up my Internet company next and asked them to lower my subscription. I somehow got the same plan but with basically a 40% discount per month. It's a pretty substantial discount, and even though overall it won't save me all that much, this does help a little. I don't know if this offer will only last a year or if it will be indefinite. I've been paying too much for this Internet month over month and now the bill has been reduced significantly. That's awesome. I felt really good after this. Again the savings on this is pretty unsubstantial in the long run, but still decent.

The hardest and most important task was to ask my CPA to basically hurry up with doing my taxes for this year. This was hardest for me because it required the most courage. Of course I asked them in a polite manner and they responded promptly even though they were in direct line for the hurricane tomorrow. After finalizing some things, I told them everything was ready to go. So I think now they are working on it. Cool.

The rest of the day I worked. Today was extremely productive. I also did my daily exercises for the day. I did 6 pull ups in a row and then 6 chin ups in a row with ease, in proper form going all the way down then pausing for a second before going back up. I did 31 push ups in a row. 31 leg raises in a row. Just 10 squats at a time for 3 sets, because squats are difficult even without any additional weight. Yeah I can do over 30 squats in a row, even like 50 squats or even 100 squats in a row if I really pushed myself, I think, but it does cause a lot of strain, so I don't want to overexert myself.

I got a decent amount today, a very satisfactory amount. Someone helping me out on a project asked me for some help today on something too.

I uploaded the amount of hours of sleep I get per night on average. It's barely any. Yet somehow I have energy throughout the day, and I get a lot of tasks and work done. I want to sleep more and I know I would have even better energy if I did. But I always just wake up after a few hours of sleep, and I don't feel sleepy until 3 AM or so which is why I stay up that late. If I felt sleepy at 9 PM, I would be asleep at 9 PM. If my body didn't wake itself up automatically after a few hours, I would sleep for hours and hours.

After work, I responded to Wahl again. Then I just watched anime basically the whole rest of the night. I didn't feel like doing anything else.

I'm not sure what I have to do tomorrow, other than work and the dentist appointment, otherwise I would have made another to do list for tomorrow. There's just nothing pressing me as much at the moment. So far Strides has been amazing and revolutionary for me to use. It's been years since I've felt this productive and in charge of my tasks and life. I really like it.

Anyway, that was my day today.
