Sometime in December This work is a way of escaping the real work of laying out my philosophy on life. I have a few days to go until the new year, I would have liked to be deep into my work come January, but I have the happy distraction of moving house which has me preoccupied. I am enjoying doing plenty of real-world activity, although my nose has been blocked so I am unable to use my CPAP, so I'm a bit lacklustre with energy levels. Before Christmas maybe late November, or early December I broke a twenty-month sobriety streak. It was fun to get back on the grog, I never drunk enough to get a hangover, but I drank daily for a week and a half or maybe two weeks before I got back on the tablets and gave up again, I think I'll do it again late next year, I don't know. Grace is going to big school in 2025 so come Feb I'll have five days a week to work on my projects, I've been waiting for this day to come so I can be more productive. I was going to start a TikTok channel in 2025, but I consulted the i-Ching and it said to work under the radar, so I am going to be focusing on writing output. A few days back, using my new Freewrite device I wrote some of the philosophy I'd been working on in my head for a very long time, and it was a good experience to get something down in a logical fashion. I've never been totally confident that I could get all my ideas out in a logical manner, and have them form something larger while having them make good solid sense. It's a good sign and has given me renewed confidence in my work. My Freewrite device from America cost about $600 including postage, it's just a keyboard with a small LED screen to write on, it sends my work to the cloud and that's all it does. I did write a journal entry the other day in the house we are moving into and didn't have my Freewrite connected to the internet, so when I uploaded the journal entry, not realising I wasn't on WIFI, the journal entry disappeared. Third of Jan, 2025 It's early in the morning. I would have liked to have been stuck into my work but at this stage, being the new year, my focus has been on moving stuff to the new house. Uncle Charlie died on Christmas Eve and the funeral will be on the seventh or eighth of Jan. I had a good Christmas morning with my fam, then had lunch at the Macquarie Inn with the Leans. I had Christmas with Liz's family on New Year's Eve and had a cracker of a time, but am glad it's all over and looking forward to being all moved into our new house so I can get down to business. We can't fully move in yet because my father in laws sisters will be staying in the new house for the funeral, the journal entry I lost explained in detail the house situation, how we'll be renting it off my wife's father Owen, and will be renting out the house we own and live in now. I also talked about how Uncle Charlie spent almost a month in our soon-to-be digs before he died so he could be closer to the hospital. #reflections Published 11-2-2025 Written on https://freewriter.app
