Joe’s Journal – July 2018
This is my journal for July of 2018.
I’m Officially a Homeowner in Texas!
The long wait is over. Aniela and I officially closed today on our new home in Pearland, Texas. And I’m now an official homeowner for the first time in my life. This move will make all the difference in the world to me and my family.
Joe’s Journal – June 2018
We finally found our home! Sometime in July, Aniela, Abram and I will be moving to Pearland on the south side of Houston, just a few minutes from where I work. We're so excited! Living there is going to free up 3 hours of my day, enabling me to proceed with a number of projects that have been on hold ever since I moved here from Florida. This is my journal for June of 2018.
Joe’s Journal – May 2018
Just a busy month of working, driving and looking for a place to live on the southeast side of Houston. We'd like to live close to where I work instead of across town, which is where we live now. This was my first full month at the new job and it's going well. This is my journal for May of 2018. This is my journal for April of 2018.
We’re Moving to Houston!
You read that right...we're moving to Houston...me, Aniela and Abram. It's not just a vague intention. I'm not saying that we'll eventually move to Houston. I'm saying that we're moving on April 6 so I can start a new job on April 9. It's all very sudden. The opportunity came out of nowhere on March 19th and we had to make some quick decisions as to whether or not I would accept it. But we really didn't need much time to think about it. It's a great opportunity. It fulfills my dormant hope of returning to Texas and we're super excited about it.
Joe’s Journal – April 2018
After a very unexpected job offer on March 22, we packed up all our stuff and moved from Florida to Houston on April 6th. It’s the big move I could only dream of because I never knew how to make it happen. Now it’s a reality. It sets the stage for a brand new chapter in life with my little family in Texas. This is my journal for April of 2018.
Joe’s Journal – March 2018
Ahh yes...I recognize that scent. It's very distinct. It's the smell of change. It doesn't come around often...but when it does, it's undeniable. Everything's about to get really interesting. This is my online journal for the month of March 2018.
I Cured My Gaming Addiction by Quitting Cold Turkey
Instead of cutting back on all the games that I play or “eventually quitting” sometime in the future, I recently decided (quite impulsively) that I’ve already played my last game. This post is my official retirement from the silly racing game on which I’ve wasted so much time in the last two years.
Joe’s Journal – February 2018
Welcome to February, y'all! It's gonna be a great month! This is my journal for February of 2018.
Establishing an Exercise Routine
I'm only 3 weeks into getting in shape again. My only hope of staying in shape over the long term is to establish a consistent exercise routine. So far so good.
Getting Back into Shape
After a long hiatus from working out and 3 years of paying for a gym membership I didn't use, I'm now taking small steps towards getting in shape again. I couldn't ignore the consequences of my bad health any longer.
Joe’s Journal – January 2018 – Getting Back Into Shape!
New month, new year, new journal. My big effort in January of 2018 was to get back into shape. And I'm happy to say that's exactly what I've done. Happy New Year and thank you for visiting my journal for January 2018.
