Operation Achieve Anything: Day Seventy-Nine, Dateline 3-20-2018

Morning Crickets. Welcome to day number seventy-nine of Operation Achieve Anything. Before I get started I just want to clear up how even when I say that I’m in a weird mood or have fallen back into some sort of rut, I’m in a much better place mentally than I’ve been in close to five years. I do still feel like I’ve got quite a ways to go until I’m one-hundred percent back to normal, but then again, I don’t think I was ever at one-hundred percent in the first place.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Seventy-Eight, Dateline 3-19-2018

Hey Crickets. Welcome to day number seventy-eight of Operation Achieve Anything. I was starting to feel like I was in a better mood but now that the Achieve Anything… book is focused on laughter being the best medicine, it’s ironically got me feeling down. First off, I know for sure that the book has already focused on humor being a tool for success because I’ve already delved into the fact that I used to be a really funny guy who now feels dead inside since I no longer feel as driven to make people laugh.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Seventy-Seven, Dateline 3-18-2018

Good morning Crickets. Welcome to day number seventy-seven of Operation Achieve Anything. It’s a Sunday, which is the one day a week where I don’t beat myself up for opting to goof around. Sure I still end up slacking off throughout the rest of the week but that wasted time comes with guilt. Between the fact that I’m kind of in vacation mode due to postponed plans to visit my sister and the fact that yesterday’s assignment left me uninspired, this update’s going to be a quick one.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Seventy-Six, Dateline 3-17-2018

Hey Crickets. Welcome to day number seventy-six of Operation Achieve Anything. I was supposed to be taking this weekend off to head up and stay at my oldest sister’s house but our plans were postponed for a week due to a monkey wrench in our plans. That said, I’m still in time off mode and even though I would have had to write this post, either way, I mainly just want to get it over with so I’m just going to jump write in.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Seventy-Five, Dateline 3-16-2018

Good morning Crickets. Welcome to day number seventy-five of Operation Achieve Anything. I know just yesterday I was talking about switching my schedule in order to start my day out with an episode of Saturday Night Live as part of my Seeso Many Saturday Nights challenge where I’m watching and reviewing every episode of the show ever made. I figured this might be a more pleasant way to begin my day but didn’t factor in how sometimes, I will watch an episode in the evening to then write the review the next day. This was the case last night and since I don’t like starting a new episode before finishing my latest review, I figured I’d wrap up my day before moving forward on building my SNL review surplus.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Seventy-Four, Dateline 3-15-2018

Good afternoon Crickets!!! Welcome to day number seventy-four of Operation Achieve Anything. I’m publishing this post later in the day because I am attempting to try something new. Usually, I wake and the first thing I do is grab some food and head straight for my computer to work on my post like this where I share my assignments from the Achieve Anything… book.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Seventy-Three, Dateline 3-14-2018

Good morning Crickets. Welcome to day number seventy-three of Operation Achieve Anything. Yesterday, I didn’t quite finish the assignment I was writing about from the day before since I was asked to determine whether I was a skeptic or an idealist after only exploring the skeptical side myself. I found it odd that the book asked me to come to a conclusion at that point considering yesterday’s assignment was to explore my idealistic side. I mean, why wouldn’t you wait until both sides were explored before coming to a conclusion?

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Seventy-Two, Dateline 3-13-2018

Good morning Crickets. Welcome to day number seventy-two of Operation Achieve Anything. I don’t really know what’s going on with my head at this moment but things seem to be getting back to normal. I think the problem is that I was ramping up for another productive phase following a New Year’s break only to have the wind taken from my sail when a cold/flu had me in bed for over a week. I recovered from this illness right before getting a case of the birthday blues that led to another week of being sick from a pretty big weekend bender. Since then, I’ve been getting back on the ball, but with the thoughts that have been running through my head has been making this a slow process.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Seventy-One, Dateline 3-12-2018

Hey Crickets. Welcome to day number seventy-one of Operation Achieve Anything. Now that I work from home and have one-hundred percent control of my schedule, other than what’s on the TV, there is absolutely no difference in my day-to-day existence, yet, today still feels like a Monday. This feeling is both good and bad. Bad, in that I woke feeling a little extra drained but I’m started to realize, this might be from the daylight-savings change. Good, in that I’m feeling pretty positive about this upcoming week.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Seventy, Dateline 3-11-2018

Hey Crickets. Welcome to day number seventy of Operation Achieve Anything. It’s a Sunday so that also means that I’m officially wrapping up week number ten of this process and don’t feel one step closer to achieving the goal that inspired this challenge in the first place. Since the current theme of the Achieve Anything… book is honesty, if I’m being honest, I would probably give up on this book if I wasn’t using the challenge to provide content for this blog.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Sixty-Nine, Dateline 3-10-2018

Goodmorning Crickets. Welcome to day number sixty-nine of Operation Achieve Anything. It’s a Saturday, I’ve got things to do, so this one might be a quick one. Actually, to tell the truth, I don’t really have all that much to do, I just woke up early and want to get this over with since I don’t feel all that inspired by either of the assignments. Also, this little white lie is the perfect transition since the topic for both of the assignment’s lessons focus on being honest and living a life with integrity.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Sixty-Eight, Dateline 3-9-2018

Hey Crickets. How are you doing on this Friday morning, better known as day number sixty-eight of Operation Achieve Anything? I’m still waiting on my paycheck so I still feel pretty stressed as my food supplies continue to dwindle but other than that I’m feeling great… well… great for me at least. I still feel like garbage as far as my overall health is concerned but at least I’m back to a point where I no longer feel like I’m struggling to function as usual.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Sixty-Seven, Dateline 3-8-2018

Hey Crickets. How’s it going? It’s now day number sixty-seven of Operation Achieve Anything and I’m excited to say that I now feel ninety-five percent back on my game. I’m finally back to my pre-Winter Olympics sleep schedule and no longer feel like my innards are rotting from last weekend’s boozefest. Now, I just need my paycheck to come in so I can stop stressing out over when I can go to the store to buy food.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Sixty-Six, Dateline 3-7-2018

Hello, Crickets. How are you doing on this Wednesday morning, aka day number sixty-six of Operation Achieve Anything? Thankfully, I’m finally starting to feel better from this last weekend’s drinking festivities. I’m not sure if I’m more excited to feel better or by the fact that, now all of the remindful body pains are over, I can move on to another topic until I give into my next drinking binge.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Sixty-Five, Dateline 3-6-2018

Good morning Crickets. It’s now officially day number sixty-five of Operation Achieve Anything, which happens to be a Tuesday, and I’m just now starting to feel better following this weekend’s booze-filled bender. I know I keep bringing this up but I just can’t get over how long it takes me to recover now that drinking’s no longer a daily routine.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Sixty-Four, Dateline 3-5-2018

Hey Crickets. Today makes day number sixty-four of Operation Achieve Anything. Unfortunately, I’m still feeling a bit sick from the birthday drinking binge that I put myself through over the weekend. I swear that I didn’t sleep at all last night so I feel more exhausted than anything, so, this is going to be another quick one in order to wrap this day up and crawl back into bed in hopes to feel better tomorrow.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Sixty-Three, Dateline 3-4-2018

Good afternoon Crickets. Today is number sixty-three of Operation Achieve Anything and probably the latest post that I’ve made in quite a while. I know I just drank a couple of days ago to fulfill my new once-a-month drinking needs, but yesterday, I decided to use my birthday funds to buy some rum in order to truly live up this non-leap year’s festivities in an effort to have some fun.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Sixty-Two, Dateline 3-3-2018

Hey Crickets. Welcome to day number sixty-two of Operation Achieve Anything. Today is a Saturday so I will be switching to weekend mode as soon as I’m done with my blogging obligations so this might be a quick one. Yes, I’m aware that I’ve been in weekend mode all week since I’ve been taking it easy due to my birthday, but I figured, why not ride it out until Monday in order to fully recover from the birthday blues before getting back on the ball.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Sixty-One, Dateline 3-2-2018

Good morning Crickets. Welcome to day number sixty-one of Operation Achieve Anything where I am gearing up for a low-key weekend to finish off this multi-week stint of doing the bare minimum to get by. I don’t know why I beat myself up over these bare minimum days because though I don’t get to everything that I want to, I always make sure my obligations have been met before switching into a less productive mode.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Sixty, Dateline 2-29-2018 (AKA 3-1-2018)

Hey Crickets, welcome to day number sixty of Operation Achieve Anything which also happens to be day two of my non-leap year non-birthday extravaganza. Day one of the festivities was nice in that my sister bought me poke for lunch and my mom brought home some cake to have after dinner. Other than that it was just another day unless you count all of the random birthday wishes from Facebook friends from people who must wish everyone a happy birthday whenever they show in the reminder portion of the FB page since I haven’t talked to any of these people for years.
