Life – Gym, Reading & Social Media

Hello region rats! 

I hope everyone’s doing alright. I wanted to do a bit of writing today and since there are a few new things going on in my life I wanted to share them with all of you (because that’s what I do!). 

Yesterday, I became a member at a new gym. Yes, it’s the one I was playing basketball at last Friday (see previous post here ). It’s in the region and I’m pretty excited about it. It’s something new. New scenery, new people, and I get to play basketball whenever I want.  I’m also excited about lifting weights again. I know I said I started that up again a few weeks ago (life got in the way), but I think this time I am really going to start it back up.

In other news, I’ve been reading a lot lately – and I mean a lot! Every blog I was reading said to check out Stephen King’s On Writing. So I did and it was fantastic. Not only do you get to learn about his life, but you get to learn about writing from one of the most legendary writers. I finally finished it, and one of the main things I took away from him is to read A LOT. He said he takes a book everywhere with him and reads little bits at a time. I used to struggle with doing that, but now I find myself doing that more often. While I wait for the train to go into Chicago for work, while I’m on the train to Chicago for work, and vice – versa. I learned some things about writing too, but the “take a book everywhere you go” part of it stuck with me. 

Anyway, I finished his book and I loved it. A week or two ago I started the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. I’m a few chapters into the first book and so far, I really love it. I was looking for a book on time travel and the internet said this series is a great place to start. Apparently they made it into a show on Netflix as well, but I’m going to hold off on watching that for now!

Yesterday Lea and I went to look at a potential home for us. This place is beautiful and we love it. I’m happy to say we made an offer on it, although it is a contingent offer so we will see what happens. If we don’t get it, at least we can say we tried because we really like it and can totally see ourselves there for the long – haul. 

Finally, I wanted to put the word out there again about my social media accounts. I am on X (Twitter), Instagram, YouTube, Rumble, and GETTR. I’m trying to be on as many as I can keep up with. I suggest following YouTube and Rumble because there may or may not be interviews in the form of video and/or audio content coming in the future. Video and audio content has been something I’ve been looking into for a long time, and I feel like I’m really close to getting everything together to make it work. Obviously, I’ll let you know when I do lol but for now, you can follow me below:

Thank you once again for all of your support, and I hope I can deliver some great content in new and refreshing ways soon!
