I'm back on this same problem once again. It's been 6 months since the last update. But, things are changing a little.

I'm currently feeling a little overwhelmed and feeling like I can't keep up with my basic & simple life. I am traveling a lot in July and August and did almost nothing but computer and TV stuff this weekend. It was very unproductive except for catching up on a few unimportant things. But the basics like having a clean house and doing laundry didn't happen. I also wrote an IM to an on-line friend, but I probably should have been working on real-life issues.

The positive changes since the last time are that I have setup my linux DVR so I never have to be home to watch TV, and I have cut back on a lot of TV since the first post because I don't have cable anymore. I still have to limit how much I watch each week, but this isn't too big of a problem anymore. My house is pretty much all setup, and I planted a garden even. It took a lot more time to dig up than I had thought, but it is done now. I am still trying to come up with things to make life easier, and I still have a few projects to finish. And besides what is on TFP, I haven't downloaded or really looked for porn in the past 3 or 4 months. Both of the sites I used to use got all these rules and it wasn't worth it anymore. I have plenty.

And the biggest thing is that I am part of a Saturday morning bike riding group now. I even met and talked to a girl on two trips (she wasn't there last weekend for some reason, I may have to call and find out if she is going to be there next weekend). This is something that has never happened before, so it was unexpected and I'm kind of lost as to what to do.

But, I am still a long way from the lifestyle I want to live and how I should be spending my time. The internet is still a problem, even though I didn't use it at all from July 4th-July 19th, I was in a hotel room with cable TV and that can be just as bad. And I think the problem this weekend was that I have so much to do, it feels overwhelming to even start.
