Been taking life a lot slower this last few months. Doing nothing difficult, time consuming, or brain wracking. Teaching young ones in mindspace about the dangers of the Liew witchy 6 has become my daily work. Now Li Lian’s power has decreased a lot -partly because of the power the crispy, roasted potato holds over kids and infants she picks on.
God has been working in my life to stabilize and lower my ‘selfish ambitions’. Realizing that some people are necessary to His plan tho they may be wicked, and some who are good, to be their prey. Likewise in business, particularly in my writing, music, and boardgame development, some things just won’t become popular no matter their worth because another is favored.
So I’m taking care of my health, exercising daily and walking long distances every week. Decreasing sugary foods, taking less fat. I’ve made a good recovery from Covid I caught almost 4 weeks ago. The drain on my body’s reserves was massive. I fought it off with vitamin C and Panadol, plus some phlegm dissolving meds that I didn’t really need. The weakness it left me with carried on for a long time. More later…
Being rather active nowadays, I tend to eat more. Just had an early lunch of Nutella sandwiches. Later, a side of egg and cheese, no bread to make up for it. Drank lots of coffee as well. I find (black) coffee regulates my body. Maybe because it’s bitter and relatively bland versus the tasty, creamy, and sweet foods we all crave. Time to clean my STT set.
Past 11am, no call from Dad for pickup. STT set cleaned up well but the big black pieces are still sticky. Also lost one of the small ones during rinsing, and had to make another. Thankfully there was spare material. I guess this is as far as I go with this project for some days.
Put on the a/c and changed into a better tee but it seems Dad has one more clinic before he’s ready to come home. His suspicious bleeding must be just his hemorrhoids. Mom is driving to the hospital and I will tag along.
Thinking ahead to 2024. How to ‘thrive’ as Joey Yap says. Difficult to do if nobody respects you, you are poor and not of sound mind. What sort of adventure could mine be?

Trying to push Mss2, my short story collection to sell / be distributed this Xmas along with STT, my boardgame. It may happen any month now. I think I will read from my stories on YouTube shorts with a prominent link to FreeLunch.my
