So I mentioned on my post from the 23rd that I was surprised by the fees. Let's just say that the fees have been shocking this week. Christmas Eve morning, I managed to once again come to the end of the day up about $150. This time, though, it wasn't just a measly $11, which … Continue reading 2024-12-27 (Friday) — Up, But Lucky?

(mostly written on the 23rd, partially written on the 28th) I can't let myself celebrate too much because I'm still lacking significantly in my basic competency, but I've had two green trading days in a row. 🎉 I think I made $48 on Friday, for an overall $36 gain in my old trading account before … Continue reading 2024-12-23 (Monday) — Two In A Row

It's amazing how quickly time flies these days. Can't believe it's almost Christmas. 😶 Haven't spent Christmas in Arkansas for a few years, at least. In 2022, I was in New Zealand. I miss New Zealand. 🙃 Last year I was in Utah. I think I was in Arkansas for 2021, because I think I … Continue reading 2024-12-20 (Friday) — Want to Trade?

Habits are interesting things. I'm completely out of the habit of writing in my journal, but when I hop in Rover, as I just did, to head to town for the first time in, gosh, I don't even know how long, one of the first things that pops in my brain is to write my … Continue reading 2024-12-09 (Monday) — All Scanned Out

Not much to write about today. As with the last handful of days, I've just been  working for JustAnswer while scanning business documents all day. Continuing to make slow but steady progress. Showered. Went to the hill to Liz's house for Thanksgiving dinner. Chatted with family there. Didn't eat much at all (trying to get … Continue reading 2024-11-28 (Thursday) — Happy Gratitude Day

(written on the 28th) The idea of jumping back into the stock market has been on my mind regularly for quite a long time. I'm fact, I've been kicking myself a little bit for not having been prepared for the post election surge of certain securities that clearly were going to go up in value … Continue reading 2024-11-27 (Wednesday) — More Stuff Sold

Spent most of the day today working on JustAnswer stuff and scanning receipts so I can get all the documents digitized for my business, so I can get rid of all the paperwork and just have digital copies if I need to deal with the IRS in the future. Listed my MIDI piano for sale. … Continue reading 2024-11-26 (Wednesday) — Safe for the Week

(written on the 25th) Sold my Civic. Sold my electric guitar. Sold my laundry detergent two-year-ish supply. Spent most of multiple days at Haven Hill de-vining the woods, burning fields, cleaning up my little area by the creek, etc. Went to physical therapy appointment. Been slowly getting receipts digitized while burning the physical copies. Continuing … Continue reading 2024-11-24 (Sunday) — Alive

Was up a bit late and slept in a little bit. Spent the morning listening to political podcasts while downloading 3 years worth of receipts from my AutoZone account. I'm trying to get all my records digitized, so I don't have to carry around the documents with me everywhere. It would be easier were I … Continue reading 2024-11-12 (Tuesday) — Trailer Woes

(written on the 12th) Happy 11/11. 🙂 Not much to say today. Got my About Me page updated, except for updates to the contents of the links at the bottom. I'll be doing that soon, as well as adding lots More about my life. Getting that About Me page updated has been on my to-do … Continue reading 2024-11-11 (Monday) — A Little About Me
