I'm doing my best to prevent myself from being on thin ice with my future-me.

I posted recently about how I divorced not too long ago. I'm in an apartment now (for the first time in 16 years) while I stack up cash to build a new house.

I always think I'm not making any progress but then I see my next door neighbors ordering DoorDash 15+ times per week, and I realize that I'm doing pretty damn good for myself.

Or I walk by the mirror and think about how I've neglected my lifting for the past 6 months while I finished up this SWE degree. But I'll see those same neighbors struggle to walk up the stairs and I again realize that I'm making some awesome choices compared to those two folks.
