Boxing day, Rules

When I got home from work I saw the replacement charger I bought for my V10F had finally arrived. I bought it nearly 3 weeks ago off Ebay. When I purchased it I did not realize it was coming from China, on a very slow boat. The charger was the last thing I needed to initiate the two for one trade I am doing with a V13 owner.

After verifying the charger worked I boxed up both wheels last night which took a little time. The box for the S22 is massive and heavy, weighing in a little under 100lbs. I had a live stream going while this process went on, answering questions along the way. Eventually I got both wheels boxed up securely. I will be dropping them off to get shipped later this week. I want to ship the same day the V13 ships, just because.

Yesterday I found myself thinking about rules, not the type of rules like no public urination, the self imposed rules that we as human beings place upon ourselves. I have talked many times about how I am a creature of habit with a number of routines that I exist in from day to day. That is one way of existing within my own rules.

When I got divorced the second time it was the first time in my adult life where I really examined the rules I was living my life by. This examination process repeated after I split from Cindy in late 2021. I think discipline and rules are important in life as they keep you generally moving in a good direction, hopefully. However I also found that when I have allowed myself to do things that initially could be quickly classified as out of bounds that I instead got to experience things I would have regretted missing. To be fair there have been things I would have rather missed out on as well where adhering to rules could have prevented them happening.

I guess at this point in my life with the various twists and turns it has taken I am more interested in maximizing my opportunities for new experiences and journeys. Of course I will always have rules that play a part in my decisions but I don’t want to be a slave to them. I am trying to say yes more than no to opportunities that come along. If you never ask, the answer is always no.

Today I get some more stuff injected into my bad veins in the right leg, can’t wait.
