So long, and thanks for all the fish!

I am also taking my leave from the IHC for the year of the Snake.  It's been a very enlightening last 2 years, and I've loved it.  I've learned something from each and every member of the Dragon team that I will cherish forever.

And who knows?  I might be back in the future.  But right now, I have other priorities that need tending to.

So, I'm going to enjoy the flurry of activity and nerves and camaraderie that is BANQUET DAY.  Come see me at some point, I have a thing for each of you.

The Warp Factor Metaphor

 Ya know, I made the title of a blogpost "Increase speed to Warp Factor 2" a little while ago as a joke, but I was thinking about that metaphor today and I think it really works.  Because you want to be able to take yourself to Warp 9 and be able to hold it for a while, but that speed isn't sustainable long term, it's too hard on the engines.  And there are times where you're going to have to slow down to Impulse and coast, but if you want to get anywhere, Warp will get you there much faster. So my goal is to get myself to a comfortable cruising speed of Warp 5, with the options of going higher or lower, depending on whether I'm encountering a Borg Cube or a Class M planet. Also, in the book I'm reading I came upon a fantastic section that fits with the concept of mediocrity: "Failure is easy to measure.  Failure is an event.     Harder to measure is insignificance.  A nonevent.  Insignificance creeps in, it dawns, it gives you hope, then delusion...

March Numbers

  I love spreadsheets. So, I'm pretty happy with my numbers.  Putting in the monthly tally's shows me that I have been letting some things slide, but the things I have been working on are now habits, so I should be able to bring more things into focus. Looking forward to being back on the mats this week. Song of the day: Press Enter to Exit by The Horrors https://open.spotify.com/track/79TbiUxFgg5HBkeXbVrwQl?si=ec9934983d8f4abf

I AM Organized

I've been putting this blog off all week, not because I'm not feeling good about everything, but because I just couldn't think of something to say.  So, I'm dipping into the I AM chalice. I realized last year that I have undiagnosed adult ADHD.  It was stupid how, lots of my friends who are diagnosed ADHD were posting memes on facebook about the condition and it was getting a little too familiar, then I saw this one: I looked back on my life and saw all the signs, from hyper-focusing on the wrong thing at the wrong time, to time-blindness, to procrastination, to executive dysfunction.  I've spent the last 20 years building up my coping mechanisms without even realizing it.   So, the last couple of months when I actually got my butt in gear and worked on my Bat'leth form, made the Bat'leth, researched it, organized it, printed and laminated it, put it into a good (I hope) order, and practiced it, tweaked it, all long before the deadline instead of frantically...
