I could go to sleep, but I&#8217;ve decided to stay up at least until the movie I&#8217;m watching ends. Having napped earlier in the evening might be why I&#8217;m still awake. My mind simply won&#8217;t quiet down; it&#8217;s filled with thoughts about trivial matters, future plans, and concerns about cancer that may be diminishing or advancing (hopefully the former). I wish I could quiet my mind and allow it to rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This week is shaping up to be hectic. I have plans for coffee with my friend Andrew, a trip to the city to visit my son and browse some game and comic stores, a doctor&#8217;s appointment, and treatment later in the week. My schedule is full for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am looking to collect comics from various creators at New York Comic Con to get them signed and displayed on my wall. I&#8217;ve never been keen on selling my collectibles; they are treasures I hope to either pass down to my son or donate to a library. Additionally, I&#8217;m interested in acquiring commissioned artwork or sketches, although transporting a large volume of items back to Canada poses a challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As my 60th birthday swiftly approaches, I find myself in a quandary. The prospect of senior discounts is on the horizon, yet mentally, I feel as youthful as a 15-year-old. There are moments when I yearn to reverse the clock, to revisit and refine past decisions. Nevertheless, I recognize the need to embrace my reality and press on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am finding that I am actually getting tired so, I probably should go to bed. Have a wonderful day and find joy and happiness in all you do. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s 4 am and I&#8217;m awake.
