How was the health check? Did you pass?
New bank account opened! CAN’T BUY GOLD! Why not? FOREIGNER!
Workout in! Not only did I cycle to AND from the health check, I once again tried my modified Murph workout: a couple laps around the compound, 104 pull ups, 208 push ups, 312 squats with a 6kg weight vest, all in 1hr 5min and 8sec. Did NOT want to! Post workout elixir of coffee, cola, water, soda water, and collagen!
Second thoughts on that social shopping idea… I need a new sports watch. Would I rather watch ten review videos, surf the company website, ask ChatGPT, or have someone go through all of the functions of the different watches? Or all of the above? Maybe that’s what social shopping will be like?! Maybe I misread HOW it will be employed?
Latest vid only gets SIX views! WTF?! Oh, and XHS reviews my posts about Nagasaki while TikTok doesn’t even promote it!
And… we have kittens on the compound!
