And No they are not
Reading
'Riting and
'Rithmetic :)
Words of today are:
Routine Resolve and Resilience
From Safety Bay Primary School site where I worked once:
These values support our school’s vision, goals and beliefs:
Respect;
Responsibility;
Resilience;
Reflection and
Relationships
Of all the R words the one that bothered me the most was
RESILIENCE
I am pretty sure my mother has finely ground, burnt, and eradicated any kind of resilience
there was in me.
When you live in a dream, hoping to be somewhere else when almost every minute is spent in fear of the next beating and berating you lose hope a little.
Anyway this week, this month rather we discovered 3 R words we didn't know we had:
Resilience, Resolve, and Routine.
So strangely enough things are going to plan and I am no more subject to "the wind" apparently.
I was telling Nabila about my plan to complete my goal for the next 3 weeks ( I see her every three weeks) last report was 10 days of walking and meditation and 10 days of gaming and I told her the next report should be 10 days of gaming and 10 days of walking and meditation and so far so good give a day or two.
Saturday July 24th to Thursday August 12th, 2021
20 days
Nabila: Wed Aug 4th & Wed August 25
I am slightly surprised and puzzled at my new resolve but I like it.
Last night I slept 9 hours for the first time in 3 weeks.
My previous nights while gaming were more like 6 to 8 hours of sleep.
So here it is for now let's see how the story goes by Wed August 25th today being Friday August 13th.
If the legs hold up I should be good.
Made the mistake of wearing support socks today and almost didn't make it home. Both of my calves were killing me.
As any mother knows :) There is a fine line
between supporting and smothering .
As soon as the socks came off I was ok though even though I had to take 'em off midway to here.
A little more on the past 20 days:
I usually spend about a week when a new season of Diablo 3 comes along.
I do all the journey chapters get the pet/prize/wings whatever it is and get bored.
This season there was 2 quests:
one is to get the pet of course
and the other one was to gather all the ethereals in order to get all the transmogs.
Transmogrifications are different looks one can give to armour and weapons etc
Cosmetics they are called.
So I did all that and more
The past 2 seasons I had a goal to reach Paragon 3000
(I am a bit OCD about round numbers lol)
but got tired of the grinding and gave up.
This season however I kept going until I got there.
And the word Resilience comes in where there was a moment
when I did a stupid mistake and ruined something very valuable that took me a long time to get
Usually when this happens I am so disheartened by my stupidity that I quit
But not this time :) : Bit the Bullet, fixed it as best as I could and kept going.
(For the Diablo knowledgeable out there I salvaged a pair of Ancient Gloves part of a necessary set augmented at 105: a pretty retarded move by any standard.)
So resilience and resolve won and as PREDICTED I am off the race and back on the walk.
So here it is let's see again how the story goes in 10 days.
