    Part of my 2025 mental and physical health plan has been building and landscaping my little slice of land to go from an unfenced hillside of lawn to a walled and terraced garden.

    Removed the sod and got a dumptruck load of granite stones at the start of the year. I am building using a dry stone technique and moving it all by hand on purpose. Currently finishing the main terraces and wall base, beginning raised garden beds now. Every day I move a couple stones into place and it feels like an accomplishment that is quite literally building on itself.

    I look forward to seeing how it (continues to) come together.

      I did a similar project a few years ago with stones, old logs and repurposed rebar. It was sooo rewarding, especially after the plants matured.

    I’m just hoping to get through the next 6 months, and then the next 3 years, without the government harassing me or my family.

    I’m going to get my commercial drone license and start doing freelance work to supplement my main job that doesn’t pay too well. Very excited.

    CT scans every 4 months… probably gonna get another nodule in my left lung nuked at some point. Hoping maybe the distended aorta that showed in my last scan takes me out quick so I can bypass all the misery of my advancing emphysema or the lung cancer possibly spreading. Aside from that, I’m just going to enjoy my family. Got three grandkids that are a real hoot right now. Counting my blessings is pretty much the priority…

    I’m hoping to move back to the town where my friends and family live. I’ve been in my current place for a few years, and it’s fine, but I feel like my life is on hold.

    I’m kind of looking forward to my kids getting a little more mature. Parenting lil kids is not what I’m cut out for. But it’s bittersweet - that gets them closer to moving out and starting their lives without me.

      Feeling like your life is on hold is such an interesting and familiar feeling. Years can go by this way. Good luck! I hope it happens soon.

    Well since I just discovered a close friend In a couple of weeks is already going out with the girl I liked for 2 years …( Yes he knew) and since I have so much time to my disposal while watching an empty residential pool at the young age of 23, I’m planning to feel like shit for the next 6 months :)

      That sucks about your friend. Did you ever ask that girl out on a date or anything? Two years is a long time, I hope you had made a move at some point.

    personally, I’ll restarting myself to focus into more serious programming and get a job

    I still fresh graduated, but I feel I still lack from programming basics to advance me to get a job in technology sector. second, for some reasons, I considering to move to somewhere first, and working on there.

    hopefully, everything will be done in next 6 months, insha Allah
