Monday Check-in: December 22nd, 2025

I’m going to try to be quick on this one… let’s see how I do.

Fitness: Okay, here’s the big one – I made it below 240 pounds. Today’s weigh-in was 239.6. I’m like a week-and-change out from the end of the year, and I’ll probably rubber-band back up over 240 here and there, but fuck it, I’m counting this shit.

Academia: I’ve been working on that last essay for my English Comp. I class and it’s going well, but I think I need to put it on hold for a smidge. You see, I’m pretty close to finishing that CS50 class as well, but not so close that I can just waltz into the finish line by the end of the year. Actually, I’m not sure I could finish it even if I completely redirected my focus there, and I’m not sure if I need to. All of these classes are self-paced, but there is some language on Harvard’s website that this one might get weird with the turn of the new year. So I should really figure that out.

Health(kinda): I’ve been putting off finalizing my 2026 health insurance, and I really need to clamp that shit down on the super soon. With my current health, I do not have the option of not getting my mountain of pills, and the wrong plan could make that extremely expensive. My last plan also dropped almost all of my best medical support, so I’m hoping I can find a plan that not only covers my meds, but also brings back my good docs.

The recent dating app stuff did not turn out. I don’t know, I guess a few conversations are still ongoing, but I’m not holdin’ out hope. Given how many of my recent matches have clearly been scams, I just don’t see this as a viable options anymore. In a strange turn of events, this has actually put me in a pretty good mood. Maybe it was something else, I don’t know, but things do seem more correct like this and some of the scams were also kinda funny. I’ve known the apps had become trash for some time now. I think I’ll ride them out for the next week or so and cancel them all in the new year. At the very least, that should free up some much needed mind space.

I did have another thing I wanted to mention, but for the life of me, I can’t remember what. Well whatever, I did want to keep this short. So here it is, possibly more later this week. Either way, Merry Christmas for those who celebrate, and I hope you get the day off even if you don’t.
