9 March 2023…….life is dumb.

Two weeks

Make bread every week. 

If I didn’t have my wife to help I would be in trouble. 

Floss my teeth daily. 

It is harder to do than you would think. 

     

Grow chilli peppers and trees. 

It is so cool to see the leaves coming out on on the trees and the chilis starting. 

   

Exercise at least every other day. Spend time out of my wheelchair.

     I have been running around a lot the past couple days. I need to get something so I don’t have to be on the floor to exercise. It was so hard getting off the floor last time I was out of my chair. 

     

Help Hildete study English, at least one hour every a day. Help her learn enough English so she can get a job as she would like and so she can go to the nail salon by herself. 

     I don’t know why this is so difficult for us this week. 

Work on money daily at least five minutes; budgeting, planning, or accounting, where did the money go, daily and make sure I am saving. Learn to be a good Jew, about money. 

     Good. This seems easier than other times. 

Avoid Television as much as possible, listen to audio books, or spend time writing.

  I have been so tired I feel like I have to watch TV so I don’t fall asleep. Falling asleep during the day and hurts. 

Learn poker. Several different games and help my wife and children learn it. 

     My children and I played 21/black jack. For dimes. Then I divided everything I “won” between them. It is interesting to watch them play. They say they don’t like it. I think they do like it. Especially because it’s not as hard as they thought it would be. 

Study gospel topics , Book of Mormon, General conference, Old Testament, New Testament, Doctrine & Covenants.

     I’m doing well at reading general conference talks. The others seem like more of a chore. 

So one thing that I want to do is blade making. 

In my apartment I don’t have an area that I could do that. At the moment I would have to go somewhere else.

I have thought of a couple of different styles I could do. I would need a jig either way. I don’t know what I would do for a knife handle. 

First I need a location where I could do anything. So until/unless I find a location I will be studying. 

That said, although I find the end product of bladesmithing amazing, trying to study everything that goes into it is less interesting. Maybe I don’t realize the amount of interest I do have because I study more than I realize. 

In other news I have been watching FOXnews and looking at the January 6 footage. I find it interesting that much of what is shown contradicts what has been said. Then so many people and news outlets are in some kind of hysteria about the footage. 

There are so many stupid options about everything. That’s why I like to focus on something I can do something about, like growing my chilis and my trees. I can watch them grow and just not worry about the garbage in life.
