2018 in Summary

2018 was a bit of a mixed year for me.

My mobility deteriorated a little more, mainly due to arthritis on my hips.
To try to counteract this through the year, redoubled my commitment to my physio exercises, to help with my joint mobility and muscle strength. I have also increased the amount of walking that I do, within the tight limits of my pain threshold.
I have also started taking 30mg Prolonged Release Morphine Sulfate, for days when the pain is just too much or I am expecting to be moving about a lot.
Also, part of my muscular pain has been diagnosed as  Neuropathic in origin and this is currently being successfully managed by 10mg Amitriptyline per day,

As a result of my increased chronic pain and reduced mobility, my Stroke Association volunteering has decreased significantly. However, I still retain my position as Chair of the Gainsborough Stroke Group, a position that, I have to admit, I am not really pulling my weight in.

Mentally I am going through another patch of being influenced by untrue malicious news stories and loud vexatious people, as happened to me a few years back. As a result, I have removed myself from Facebook and I am avoiding certain people, places and news stories.

On the positive side, it was a good year for my spiritual development. I have been admitted to the grade of 8=3 and onto the council of 400 as 359/400.

I continue being happy with and grateful for the life that I have.

However, I must reiterate my mantra, Don't ever have a stroke, they're rubbish!

Making money from Cryptocurrency without the upfront expenses.

To make money with CryptoCurrency Mining, you have a lot of upfront costs, to buy the expensive hardware required and a lot of ongoing costs, to run it. CryptoCurrency Mining is very Power Hungary!

Now there is a new way using Masternodes.

Masternodesare part of the verification system for CryptoCurrancy Transactions, and you can make money from just running such a node.
However running your own Masternode, requires high upfront costs and a lot of technical expertise.

But you can have a stake in masternodes HERE  for a modest initial invrstment and no technical expertise.

Chronic pain

My chronic pain seems to be getting worse, or is it that I am building a tolerance to my medication.
Sitting for prolonged periods gives me general, non-specific pain all over my body.
I think it's mostly neuropathic!
I've booked an appointment with my GP, hoping for a referral to a pain management clinic!

Inside the Poppy Head

I like to come here occasionally.
It's a peaceful, restful place, here I am almost completely pain free.
Here I feel the earth turning and flying through space.

Here I am automatically in a state of meditation.
Here I can hear The Universe speak.

The darkness and stillness here is not depression, it is liberation.

Here is energy, here is love, here is unity.

I can't visit too often, for that would make it less special.
This is a place to visit occasionally, this is a place to savour.

My Obituary

I have decided that when my time comes at the age of 99.
No matter how I go.

I want my obituary to read that "I was electrocuted, when I touched the live terminal at the centre of time."

Straight Razor Update

I am continuing to learn the art of straight razor shaving.
A bit of a baptism of fire, or blood anyway!
Quite a few nicks and cuts, but I am getting better.

I have bought a second razor, my first cheapo Sandbros stainless is difficult to get a good edge on, but I'm getting there with it now.

My second razor is a professionally prepared Gold Dollar carbon steel blade, excellent edge and easy to maintain.

I still use my modern 5 blader when time is tight but I'm sold on straight razor shaving!

Dealing with Debt - Paperback

My latest book Dealing with Debt is now available in paperback.

Yay! I made it through another year!

Life is a gift treasure it!

Dealing with Debt

Still Alive

Survived my first ever shave with a straight razor.
It's much more difficult than I thought.
Not very happy with the result but no more nicks than with a normal razor really.
I need to improve my overall technique of preparation and shaving.
I won't be using it every day, takes too long, but I will stick at it!

Cut Throat

My first ever straight razor arrived today.
I have stropped it, oiled it and even practiced holding it,
Tomorrow morning will be the first great shave.
