Man, that feels good!

This is a list of things that feel really freakin’ fantastic right now. Also, I’m happy to drop links for free to the things and things giving me this joy.

• Since my last weigh-in on April 11, I’m down 1.3% body fat. That’s a little bit faster than I originally planned when I set a target of dropping 0.5% body fat per week. Man, that feels good!
• I fired a terrible client today over the phone. Then, I blocked their number on my personal phone. Man, that feels good!
• I’ve booked a pair of VIP tickets to see comedian Jay Pharaoh play in Huntsville next month before the tickets sold out. Win!
• I got half of a 9-inch pizza left that’s made with sausage, pepperoni, and vegan cheese. Thank you, Oakwood Farms Market. I just pulled the delectable slices out of the air fryer as I type this with my right hand!
• I found a new favorite coffee spot — Angel’s Island Coffee. I recommend it to a friend.
• Last night, I went to a nighttime event alone — R&B night at The Camp  — and enjoyed it! Going to occasions like this alone has been very high anxiety for me, and I proved that nothing terrifying happens when I go to a party solo. BOOM!
• I was using Freshbooks to manage my invoices, estimates, contracts, and client information for my web development business. I realize that I could’ve been doing all of these things directly in Stripe for all these years. And for cheaper! In fact, when clients paid their Freshbooks invoices, Stripe processed the payments. I hate that I realized this so late in the game, but it still feels awesome that I have these tools. Win!

Purple roses

I’m fond of a young lady who likes purple roses, so I asked Midjourney to imagine some.
