Some recent photos from Summer 2024 so far and a quick update on my life

This summer has been pretty great so far. It hasn't been filled with a bunch of traveling or extravagant purchases, but I have been lucky to enjoy many great times already. Today is the last day of June, so we are about halfway through summer now here where I live in West Virginia, USA. I figured that now would be a great time to dump some of my best photos since the weather has officially turned hot.

I started my new job in May. Since beginning this journey, I've been much happier and able to stop stressing so much about the price of HIVE. I had forgotten how much easier it is to have a consistent paycheck, even if I'm not getting rich off of it. A bonus is the fact that my job is actually fun to me and the people I work with truly need me. If you're curious about what I've been doing for work, I am now a senior wellness transporter for a local skilled nursing center. To put it plainly, I'm a driver for a nursing home. I'll leave it at that and say it is my favorite 9-5 job I've ever worked.

There have been many celebrations this summer already. My brother moved into his first solo apartment, which my and mom assisted with a great deal. My mom and dad both had birthdays. Then we also got together for Mother's and Father's Day. July 4th is this week, although I will be working for some overtime pay. Plus I am getting to vacation to Mexico with some friends and family in August. This will be my first time traveling to Mexico and I am extremely excited. We will be staying in a house with 8 people in total on the beautiful island of Isla Mujeres.

My weekends have been spent doing all sorts of fun things such as going kayaking and paddleboarding, visting with cute animals, and eating delicious foods. I love my time at the lake and could spend every single weekend there without getting bored. There is something about a calm body of water and sunlight that just does it for me. Since I don't live anywhere close to a beach, the lake is my favorite summer spot.

I am currently getting over quite possibly the worst sickness I've endured in a very long time. I had a skin infection on my face that ended up wrecking me for almost 2 full weeks. One side of my face was swollen and painful to the point of me going to the doctor, that's rare for me. My throat was sore, my ear hurt, and I had body aches. It was not fun, but thankfully I'm feeling much better now. The only thing left is for this wound on my face to finally go away. This has caused me to take a few weekends off from going to the gym or swimming at the lake. I'll be back in action soon though and more motivated than ever. Being sick really makes you appreciate your health once you finally regain it.

All in all, I have to say that Summer 2024 has been pretty freaking great. I am happy with what I have in life and am still very optimistic about the future. I may not have predicted the current status of HIVE and crypto as a whole, but I've still managed to find many other ways to be happy and continue forth in life. As with everything, you must find ways to adapt and never give up. It's paying off yet again as I still have a lot to look forward to with the second half of this summer and the rest of 2024.

That was my little update for you outside of the gaming posts I've been doing lately. I've got loads of photos below from the times I mentioned in today's blog. Enjoy scrolling through all of them and comment below to tell me how your summer has been going. If it's not summer where you live, you can tell me about anything you are excited about that is going on in your life right now.

I've been able to assist many people so far and it feels pretty great to be doing it.

Happy for you man! Finding a job you love is awesome.

I'm glad you're doing well.

Thanks bro! It was a long search to find a job like the one I have now.

Congrats to you for the recent PS5 acquisition. Looks like things are finally going well for the both of us.

Haven't been by as much as I would like but really happy to see you're doing well man! Glad to hear that you've got a new job, and it's also something that you enjoy. Without going into too much detail, one of my favorite parts of my previous work life was working with the elderly! Many of them were incredibly kind if you showed them respect and were a good person. (Not all, but there are exceptions to everything) You will definitely learn a LOT from them, as they have so much wisdom to share.

Just be careful of the handsy old broads LOL they will play grab ass for fun, I've gotten a handful of my ass taken by more than one hahaha.

Super stoked for you man!

I know what you mean already, so many of the elderly people are wonderful. Very few of them are actually difficult to deal with.
I can handle a little groping if it means it makes one of these old ladies days better 🤣

How cute!!! Have a nice vacation. I love your tattoos, you have nice eyes too. Regards

Thank you very much 😌
I will definitely post about my experience in Mexico come August.

Awwww, I'll be waiting for it.
