This is a week of fear. It is the week where all my work catches up with me. I have been trying to get to this week for a long time, and now that it is here I dread it. I would like to get through it and the next several weeks and have everything settle. Have a nice settled end to the year. Get through it and then sail smoothly until the next challenge.
Sometimes I end up in these situations and wonder if I knew what I was thinking. If I was aware that I was headed for a type of cliff and that when I got to the edge the choice would be to fly or fall. Now that the cliff edge approaches I am worried that I can do nothing but fall.
Experience is the greatest teacher and it has taught me several valuable lessons this year. So many that I wish I could reload a previous save and go through the year again, but we don’t get to do that. All I can do is live with the actions that now look unwise. I can’t undo them, but this one. This action is one that is necessary.
When I started this out we had four properties that weren’t delivering and very soon we will have five properties with three of them providing good value. I just have to make it to the end of the year with my sanity and finances intact, and I am unsure about either at this point.
Christmas is always a time of temptation and its looming presence worries me. I also need to remember Halloween and get the candy for that. It begins this Thursday with the kids trunk or treat at their school. Then the following day is the closing for Maryland Ave.
In the next couple weeks we will have my mother’s birthday, my daughter’s birthday, and Thanksgiving. I don’t need all this personal busyness when I have enough other stuff that needs taking care of. I have to get this all done and taken care of so that 2026 can be a better year than 2025. We just have to get there first.
That is always the problem. Getting there involves challenges and obstacles that need overcoming. Right now I feel overwhelmed by any challenge. Even the ones I set up for myself, because they are all happening at the same time.
