Well, I've reigned myself in sufficiently. Right now it looks like if I don't spend too much I will meet my short-term savings goal of adding $200-300 to savings this pay period. Sounds good but I added nothing last pay period. Still not too bad, considering I bought the camera and shade fabric this pay period.
For the immediate future, I don't have any major expenditures as expensive as those things. So I may be able to accelerate my savings in the next couple of months. I do need to get back to work on a couple of things but they can be accomplished gradually.
Here's good news. Sacrificing and OT is beginning to show rewards. Between my regular bank account, retirement account (okay, mostly retirement account) and medical savings account, I currently have more in savings than I have ever had in my life.
Not without some drawbacks. If I had everything else in order, that wouldn't be the case. Getting closer to things being in order every day.
The shade fabric seems to be doing fairly well to keep the solarium cooler. However, it wasn't a very hot day.
Progress at the gym. I am now up to the maximum on the pectoral fly machine. Not for a lot of reps, only one rep at a time. However, multiple sets. Not feeling bad about that. 260 lbs for chest muscles isn't exactly easy. It's also the most I've ever lifted (which was measured) with pec muscles.
Still not gaining much weight. That probably has a lot to do with my lack of energy. But I am losing around the middle and gaining to upper body.
My cannabis plants are looking iffy. They grew rather leggy, started vining and flopped over. This evening I tried burying the stems further. Hoping they act a lot like tomato plants and form more roots if I do that. Many plants do. Long as they don't have a crown. Plants with a crown die if you bury the crown.
