Recent Disappointments

The last few months have been tough. Mentally I have not been in a good place, and physically I have been an even worse place. While I was accepted into University to study Military History, I have not been successful in my application for funding. As such I will not be attending university again.

So whats next? Thats a good question. I don’t know is the answer to that, but I do have a few options. In the background I’ve been working on a business idea to sell collectables to geeks. That is definitely going to go ahead, though I can’t say when yet. I could go back and finish my Computer Science degree in 2025, if Lincoln College would have me. But my programming is very rusty and would need to be brought back up to scratch before then.

I’ve long had an interest in WordPress development and .NET development. Thats also an option. My old goal of cyber security will likely remain a passion, but not a career option right now. Maybe in the future, but not right now.

On a personal level theres a lot going on I need to sort. And I have started sorting it. The first step in un-messing up my life has been a healthy morning routine. You can see the morning routine below

Making the bed helps me feel like I’m organised first thing in the morning.

A walk helps me clear my head and organise my thoughts for the day.

A shower to keep clean obviously.

Taking blood sugars and meds are important to keep healthy.

Breakfast and brushing my teeth to finish the morning routine.

Then I give myself an hour or so of free time to relax before I crack on with what needs doing in the day. Hopefully this morning routine will set me up for success in the future, with whatever path I go down!
