Just a quick personal/meta update today as I turn around and do fif­teen things at once behind the scenes.

Every two years I am required to do a hand­ful of con­tin­u­ing edu­ca­tion units to main­tain my per­son­al train­er cer­ti­fi­ca­tion through NASM, and the time is near­ly upon me. So I spent last week and ear­ly this week going to CPR cer­ti­fi­ca­tion, learn­ing about GROUP per­son­al train­ing, and learn­ing about how to help peo­ple who are on GLP‑1 drugs with their fit­ness jour­neys.

I was also deep in the side-gig soup. Babysit­ting. Pet sit­ting. I even helped some­one move. These things move in ebbs and flows and while I would love to get ten hours a week, some­times it’s 30 and some­times it’s zero.

And…(as if that weren’t plen­ty) I’ve got a rou­tine out­pa­tient surgery com­ing up. It’s laparo­scop­ic (and unlike the tumor removal 5 year ago will not need a laparo­to­my) but it is still abdom­i­nal surgery, and will put me on some loopy painkillers for sev­er­al days.

Still there are great posts com­ing soon, a cou­ple of new ones going up in the next cou­ple of days, and whole new projects I’m about to get into, but I will go into more detail about specifics in May’s Newslet­ter to my patrons. (I would love to have you as a patron, and the newslet­ter is our low­est tier reward—I’m hold­ing out as long as I pos­si­bly can to keep this at ONLY $3 a month. And you can save even MORE if you buy a year at a time.)

So stay tuned.…
