I am mostly done buying things for the year....

This year, I got loads of goodies:

1. A new Casio watch
2. A new Bible with indices
3. A Nerf blaster and box of rounds
4. A 12-hole ocarina
5. New strings for my uke and Kepma guitar
6. 8GB RAM for the netbook
7. A new solving calculator
8. New wireless mics
9. TWS Redmi buds
10. Teva sandals [for Mom]
11. Swiss Army Knife Classic SD for myself
12. A record by the WHO which is 'classic'
13. Some cheap Tarmak shorts from Decathlon
14. A new tee, UA, deeply discounted

I am done buying things even as my birthday approaches just over a month and a half away. The thought of saving up money seems pointless as I REALLY have nothing more I want to buy. I own a gram of 24k gold that's appreciated 2-fold but no reason to cash in on. In my state of health, there's no reason to travel or do a lot of sports activities. Mostly I run a few minutes a week and work out briefly every night before bed.

Am waiting to hear from the publisher I queried last weekend. I hope to hear a yes but a NO is also okay. Anything honest and personal will be appreciated. Still haven't polished up my final song "Open Up". It's a bit hard to work the chords and the chorus to the bridge to the verse -a bit disjointed but I'm not letting it die so easily.

Thinking of running tomorrow, early if I can wake up. Last run wasn't fun as my knee was shot with pain-giving. Next week, visiting psych clinic for my Arip jab. Will get my shrink something nice since I'm saving up for nothing. Be charitable and generous.

I now have 900RM saved, 380RM in my wallet, and about 80RM in my debit account. Good enough to brave October since I will not be attending church meets for some time. Nor will I be upgrading my phone or PC and I don't have dreams of a nicer luxurious watch anymore.
