It was so difficult helping my mom with simple ipad tasks
Tasks such as printing, taking pictures, or doing a screenshot. It's a super frustrating experience and I'm the only one left to help her. My sister has basically stopped contact with her. I am determined to keep up with technology as I age. ...

elated not going back to the office yet
I'm elated I don't have to go back to the office yet. After reaching FI commuting two hours each day for work on public transportation is just not appealing. And I get to use the pockets of small time slots on myself, rather than pretending to be working in the office, or waste time chitchatting on subjects I don't care about. I also get to use a clean bathroom that I clean weekly myself, and prepare fresh meals twice a day. Next possible chance of returning to the office: Jan 3, 2022 ...

performance review
My performance review numbers are out. I used to be so obsessed about the numbers. This time I got surprised my boss brought up that he was about to go through the numbers with me. I guess I no longer care. And that's a good thing. Continue to send my whole paycheck twice every month to investments. Continue to live on my ESPP amount (16.5% of my gross salary = 15% gross and 10% purchase discount). If this is not security I don't know what is. ...

Mom went to hospital
Luckily it was just a 5 hour check and everything comes back normal. She complained her heart hurt for days and I'm glad she got it checked out. The wait was not nice for me though, unsure what's going on. Gotta praise the Canadian medical system. ...

My major concerns
These days I feel like I live a very comfortable life. My immediate personal life is going well. Work is not too stressful. Non existent money problems. My boyfriend behaves well. I don't have too much health issues. (I have some tiny ones but they are under control - perhaps the topic of a different post). My mom's health, however, is the subject that worries me. My mom is in general good health. But since she has the vaccine, she has been complaining about heart tightness and that it ...

Do I need a blog?
I have struggled with this question forever. Typically my mode of operation is I set up something, write a few months, make a few friends, then I will delete my blog. Will this mode change finally? This is not a fancy place, I just can type in plain text. I am not going to care about grammar and spelling too much. No SEO concerns. By emptying my head I hope I will be able to carry on with my middle aged life at a unremarkable pace. ...
