Speaker 1: So I am learning to take time for myself. I'm
Speaker 1: realizing and many of us, just as we get older,
Speaker 1: that what we do for a living isn't necessarily how
Speaker 1: we wanna live. We may even enjoy our jobs and professions,
Speaker 1: but it's just when you really realize there's more to
Speaker 1: life than just your job and if you like it.
Speaker 1: And I'm finding myself cause I can literally work twenty
Speaker 1: four hours, seven days a week, and I work. That's
Speaker 1: about that. I work a lot. I do sleep and
Speaker 1: everything like that. But I realize for me to be
Speaker 1: able to give you guys and give everyone content, I
Speaker 1: need to live life. I need to do something. So
Speaker 1: I would say this last week, I've been super social,
Speaker 1: super social. I am very proud of myself. I mean,
Speaker 1: I've actually carved out time for my friends. So I
Speaker 1: saw Flomo at the beginning of the week and then

Speaker 1: fifty plus and this is fifty plus on jailj medium.
Speaker 1: I also have been taking time out to watch TV
Speaker 1: and to relax in between work and taking naps and
Speaker 1: stuff I can. I found that since I have worked
Speaker 1: all the time, it's okay to made. You should work
Speaker 1: from six thirty in the morning till about eight or nine,
Speaker 1: then stop, go in the garden, do other stuff, lay down,
Speaker 1: watch them TV, watch the view whatever, watch things that
Speaker 1: I'm not doing shows for because they go to a
Speaker 1: lot of shows and all the action shows. So and
Speaker 1: that's what really re energizing me. See all these documentaries
Speaker 1: and programs I've seen a while some for great doing
Speaker 1: that and then going back to work here for a
Speaker 1: few more hours, then getting up to you to go
Speaker 1: away from that. So it's been it's been very much.
Speaker 1: It's been a leve And then today we had a
Speaker 1: power outage for for almost two hours. Well actually it
Speaker 1: was like, well, yes it was over. It was well,
Speaker 1: yeahs hour, Well it was two hours, two and a
Speaker 1: half hours that stopped. So I was reading, so yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like a chance to sit and read. Today I
Speaker 1: was organizing my Star Wars shelf a little bit looks
Speaker 1: much better. So like there's there's things I've been wanting
Speaker 1: to do. I just like he's like, okay, go do that.
Speaker 1: Stop work and it'll still be there and I will
Speaker 1: get out get everything done. Cause I started. I cause
Speaker 1: I started, I found myself starting to panic. I'm not
Speaker 1: a panicker, but for a minute I was like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, I'm leaving town on the third and I
Speaker 1: get stuff ready before I leave, and my like and
Speaker 1: for my company, I make sure I have things set
Speaker 1: up for the fourth through while I'm gone and when
Speaker 1: I come back, and I when I come back and
Speaker 1: leave it again, I and I have I have these
Speaker 1: audio dramas I gotta edit and put up, and like James,
Speaker 1: you have Sunday, I'm well and as I'm recording is
Speaker 1: I have Monday, I have Tuesday. Wednesday morning. I'm going
Speaker 1: back to the storage units and that's be fun. Can
Speaker 1: take care of some stuff there. So I wasn't going.
Speaker 1: I wasn't going to go At first, I said no, James,
Speaker 1: because I'm seeing light at the end of tunnels, like, James,
Speaker 1: continue what you're doing, so lights to tell me because
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be gone most of November. I'm like, good,
Speaker 1: still go in there because I work, Like the other
Speaker 1: day I did my mom's house, are garage, I have
Speaker 1: jump off so like I'm seen, I'm starting to see movement.
Speaker 1: I don't want to stop that. So I said, Okay,
Speaker 1: now Tuesday Wednesday morning, Tuesday, and I might decide not
Speaker 1: to go because I have a big organizing project and
Speaker 1: I'm giving three days up of my life to do
Speaker 1: this project. So I'm like, ooh, maybe I shouldn't go
Speaker 1: back it because because I'm doing good, maybe I shouldn't
Speaker 1: go back out there. And maybe I should take a
Speaker 1: break because we're getting there. I can always there's time.
Speaker 1: I do have some time in November to go back
Speaker 1: out there. I do. There's a couple of there's a
Speaker 1: couple of days I could go out there and do that.
Speaker 1: But I was like, I probably should be. I shouldn't
Speaker 1: overdo it. Maybe I should still stay home. So I'm
Speaker 1: going back in for I see. You gotta things smarter
Speaker 1: or not harder too. My body's a little older, I
Speaker 1: get I was. I was worn out from all the
Speaker 1: manual labor I did this week. It's good for me.
Speaker 1: I'm glad I did it, but I'm like, I need
Speaker 1: I probably need to save my strength. Plus. So here's
Speaker 1: how it goes. Tuesday Wednesday, Monday, Tuesday Wednesday home, get
Speaker 1: all of the sudden to get done for my business,
Speaker 1: get all in order, get all done because Thursday I
Speaker 1: have But on Thursday I have what you call it
Speaker 1: for three hours. It could be it'll be like five
Speaker 1: with travel and all stuff. I have a Y and
Speaker 1: R event to go to and you're gonna rest of
Speaker 1: the Tellerson City and so I'm assuming Thursday will be
Speaker 1: my day of doing that and they would have a
Speaker 1: video finished. I'd get putting that together putting that out
Speaker 1: the whole Chamain. Then I was thinking Friday, we'll go
Speaker 1: streach you on Friday. I say no, but I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: I just to take the time off. So maybe I'll
Speaker 1: make that my kind of time off. Saturday, I have
Speaker 1: a zoom. I'll give myself together and ready. See now,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking that's what I think I would take. I
Speaker 1: think I see you talking to you guys. I'm thinking
Speaker 1: that this is what you do to get older. You're
Speaker 1: talking out. I'm not gonna go to Storgien this week,
Speaker 1: but I don't want. I don't want to overdo it,
Speaker 1: and there's things I need to get done. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get things. I'moulna get things done here at the
Speaker 1: house and my business, get all that straightened out this
Speaker 1: week through through Saturday, then Sunday morning, head out to
Speaker 1: my client's house Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and with them and
Speaker 1: only them. I have some stuff too that we lay
Speaker 1: it down to release my stuff. But other than that,
Speaker 1: I'm with them full stop, get stuff together, and then
Speaker 1: the thirtieth I'm back with me and then I have
Speaker 1: a couple of events in between there, but getting ready
Speaker 1: for my trip to leave one a third. So I'm
Speaker 1: you know, I'm like, okay, okay, this is working. We
Speaker 1: were getting there. This is working. And then when i
Speaker 1: come back, I'm home for like three or four days,
Speaker 1: but I'm also but then I'm gone for a week.
Speaker 1: It's Satura's just go. But then I'm home for like
Speaker 1: listen from like almost almost two weeks. So my thought
Speaker 1: is like, Okay, I think I could do the storage
Speaker 1: you did, then go back there, do some more, get
Speaker 1: it cleared out whatever it's instance that week and then
Speaker 1: and then an December and then had again. Then I
Speaker 1: have December anyuay. So, but I'm also looking at also
Speaker 1: vacations because even though I'm going to Indiana, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be work. I'm going for work. I'm gonna try have
Speaker 1: some fun while I'm there. I'm going for work. Looking
Speaker 1: at a cruise because cruises are like the one thing
Speaker 1: that I could, you know, during the winter time, it's
Speaker 1: perfect ta get a little three day or somewhere, get
Speaker 1: me out of here for three days as a little
Speaker 1: bonus for myself. Like James, you worked hard, it's it's
Speaker 1: like here you go. So I think about that too. Actually,
Speaker 1: for January, I give myself a little break. I worked
Speaker 1: very hard this year. It's a thing for me. So
Speaker 1: I think with that you said, look, it is that
Speaker 1: you folks very important. But these are things you think
Speaker 1: when you're when you're fifty plus and you're still working,
Speaker 1: these are things you think about. You have to think about,
Speaker 1: and you have to figure out a balance between friendship
Speaker 1: because friendships are very important even as you get older, friendships,
Speaker 1: your own health, dividing and conquering, you know, whatever it
Speaker 1: needs to be done. Also balancing out, working smarter, not harder.
Speaker 1: All this stuff is part of it's part of life period.
Speaker 1: But as you get a little older, it really makes
Speaker 1: a difference, it really does. This is fifty plus, you're
Speaker 1: on jail j media, I'm James ly Junior. Like comments
Speaker 1: describe and I what's watch you next time?
