Well Hello, 2025

Can I just repost the last post? I think I was writing about forgetting to blog. And that's exactly what I've done.

I'm trying to get back on track with virtually everything, so here are some highlights:

  • Blog again? Blog again!
  • Bullet journaling: I never got into it because I thought you had to do fancy setups, including the use of rulers, lines, and praying you don't make an ugly thing. Discovered a minimalist setup and it is really working so far!
  • Daily writings: I've been mostly good about my daily writings, motivated by my love for fountain pens and inks. I was forced to switching from my beloved Hobonichi to Midori. It's a new love! (Link is an Amazon Affiliate link which shows me some love with a small commission from your purchase. Thank you!)
  • Back to school: I'm gonna finally get my Bachelor's in Business Management if it's the last thing I do. I start my Biology lab on Monday. Pray for me.
  • This is the year I kill my inner hoarder. I have too much stuff. It needs to go.
  • My fountain pen channel on YouTube, Pensane, is back in full swing, and I have a great idea for a new channel that fills a niche in the oversaturated coffee topic.
  • I need to get back to volunteering at Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center. I miss those cats! (The dogs, too, but I need to get official training on dog walking.)
  • I need to seriously get back on track with my weight, exercise, and overall health. A food dehydrator received for Christmas will be one effective tool for making healthy snacks.
  • I need to dive deep into audiobooks. I mean, let's be real. Physical books lull me to sleep. In a good way. But it's not good for reaching even the humblest reading goals.
  • Learning Spanish: I felt like I was hitting a wall with Duolingo, so I have switched to Babbel. So far, so good.
  • I may need to revisit this list. I know I'm forgetting to mention something.

I am looking forward to making 2025 a much better year than 2024, which, quite frankly, was an expletive year.
