3 Things 10/23/2026

Something that went well 

A weekly work task that had been mine for the past five years is finally off my plate. It was a simple task to do but a stressful thing to be responsible for. Today I showed someone else how to do it because it was exactly like another task he was already doing. It made no sense for two different people to do these two very similar things. He was happy to take it over, especially after he saw how easy it was. "I'm already doing this anyway," he said.

Oh, and I got a side gig doing an SEO consult for a friend with a small online business. Just need to write up my findings and present it.

Something to look forward to 

I didn't have an appointment with my therapist this week like I thought. Wrong week. It's not next week either. It's two more weeks away. Geez. How could I have gotten the dates so wrong?

I applied to be a regular volunteer at my local library. That makes it official: I'm becoming a bona fide old person.

What's the best that could happen?

I could keep finding enough small SEO gigs to keep me pleasantly busy in retirement.
