Starting a schedule and the passing of a family member

Let’s start off and review how well I’ve done sticking to my schedule; I’ll start out first by going over what my schedule looks like.
10AM EST Wake UP, 10:10AM EST Shower every other day, 11AM EST, go for a walk, 12PM EST Read a book, 12:30PM EST Eat something, 1PM EST Read more, 2PM EST Eat something small, 2:30PM EST Walk again, 3PM EST Write post for Steem, 4PM EST Do some cleaning, 8PM EST Splinterlands Dailies, Midnight EST or no later than 2AM EST get some sleep

Now, you may note most of it is reading, and walking, reason being is I need to spark habits that promote both my mental health, and my physical health, I’m most likely 280lbs at the moment, and unless I get in the habit of walking, and exercising I won’t get my weight down to my goal of 180lbs. Reading promotes healthy brain function, and proper reading such as relates to Stoicism, business, and DIY can help reinforce good habit making, and clarity of purpose. A well known quote pertaining to scheduling, or just planning in general is “Not having a plan is planning for failure”, we should always make time for pertinent things, and ensure those things aren’t just busy work, but productive for our goals. My goals are to clarify my desires, lose weight, and take control of my life. The first steps is educating myself in proper habit forming, scheduling the very things that promote the education, as well as the habit forming.

First day on this schedule, I couldn’t get to sleep that night ‘til like 4AM EST, and I woke up at 10:10AM EST, then passed right on back out, sleeping ‘til like 3PM EST. After I woke up, I can’t particularly remember what all I did, but I remember eating something, but did nothing productive that day. I went to bed about the same time that night too, as for the next morning, it slips my mind if I woke up on time, I do believe I did, as I clearly remember wasting my time that day, ignoring my alarms on my phone for each task, I did read, but, I took no walks, and wrote nothing. Third day was a repeat of the first day, and the fourth day was a repeat of the second day. The first day was the 9th. As for the 4th day, I found out my grandmother passed away, she had stage 4 cancer, I loved her like no other. She was a loving woman, with a strong will. I’m sitting here writing this the night of the fourth day, 8 minutes from 2AM EST.

Derailing my own post with this, but I need to express these things at some point. My grandmother was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer at the end of March, I was informed in April, she was given 6 months to live, managed to get just over 8 months. She was a retired nurse, worked in wound care, pediatrics, and for a while as a in home caregiver. You can’t find fault in her, she married a man that thinks highly of himself, yet acts just as he says his own grandfather acted. My grandmother was a battered wife. She had friends from her time in nursing, they would go out on luncheons often, she was never one to stay in one spot, always had to live life to the fullest, full of enough gumption for everyone around her. She loved lighthouses, the sea, the color navy blue, driving through Central State to spot the turkeys, and deer that roamed the grounds. My only regret is not getting my life together in time to be able to lease a 2-door corvette and drive her around in it just once before she passed away, she loved to imagine herself driving one. Growing up, spending weekends with her, she’d always point them out and go “There’s my car.”. Looking back, she was a wise woman, who never let herself lose her youthful nature. Never prudish, or insincere, she would speak her mind. I can tell she met her illness with strength, but was scared, as any of us would be. I feel as if she was deserving ten more years of life, but it’s not my call to make.

As for my schedule, and my own personal journey, I hope to post more often on here, both with Splinterlands giveaways each day, and with journals, or just anything that piques my interest. I hope the best for all, and I shall look joyously back on the life my grandmother had, not with sadness, for even though I will miss her dearly, her life was one to praise, and celebrate.

Your fellow lost soul,
TaintedBlood (Forgotten)
