Wow, I can't believe it has been three months since my last post here. Well, yes I can because it has been about that long since I have done about anything that I really enjoy, like writing, coin collecting/stacking, and reading. Even finding a documentary to hold my attentention has been something that has elluded me. The business I ws looking to start never even got off the ground due to me losing interest after meeting with my very first prospect.
I guess you could say the doldrums of the winter have hit me in full force, but that would be an easy excuse. The reality is that my health went south for a bit again, sent me into a depressive state and instead of pulling myself up by the boot straps I sat in my own self pity and fumbled around in my own head.
Allowing myself to stay inside my noggin too long is not a good thing these days. For some reason my grey matter seems to go negative polarity alot. The good thing is that about a week ago I finally stopped bouncing around inside my cranium and got out of it.
The other day I ordered a walking pad, kind of like a treadmill but a little smaller and lighter weight. It arrived and I assembled it and tried it out today. For some reason just getting my bigg ass moving again was a boost to my morale. I am already looking forard to a longer walk on it tomorrow while listening to a pdcast or watching a documentary.
No land speed records are being set by this two legged land anchor, but being in motion is important especially when your overweight and have some of the health challenges in this body.
THe walking pad is especially welcome now that it is winter here and we had out first big snow and icing. Walking in that crap is for those heartier than I am these days. Plus, walking inside my own home is safer than on a cooncrete street in the case I pass out, which happens with my condition occasionally.
There is not much more to update on as I have not done crap since I have been away. However, I do have some coins to share and plan to hopefully share some of my thoughts on the podcasts and documentaries I watch while walking on the pad moving forward. At least while I wait out the wintery shit.
Thanks for reading,
Joe

It's just a damp cold out here on the west coast so mostly rainy but at least I don't have to shovel it. Not exactly Luau weather 🌴
!LUVGlad to see you back @coinjoe
(2/10) sent you LUV. | tools | discord | community | HiveWiki | <>< daily@coinjoe, @kerrislravenhill
Thanks, it’s good to be back I guess. They sure could use some of that moisture out west of us.
that is good news! sweating it out keeps your mood up
Hey nice to hear from you. Hope you’re still doing your walks as well.
i still am. i just came from a 2 day snowboard trip. it did not count towards my step counts
I hope your trip was enjoyed.
Moving really does help, I'm glad it made you feel somewhat better! I can relate and know the feeling all too well. Hang in there brother and keep moving!
It does have a way of making me feel better, at least metnally for now. Surely it will stop making me sore and start helping me lose some weight physically. In the younger years when I was a runner, the "runner's high" was something I always loved.
Here is to another day of moving along brother.
Welcome back fellow veteran! Glad to see you broke out of the doldrums just as the new year is breaking. I have one of those under-desk thingys that you pump like a bicycle. Any kind of motion is great when we're at our desks putting together the next blog post. I have a standing desk as well that I really should use more often.

I used to have one of those Veradesks at work. It was great.
Wow, you guys did get a bit of snow. It's crazy to think that almost Kentucky is getting hammered like that. I know what you mean about this time of year. I always struggle to find content and things like that.
I used to love winter and snow, but now that I’m older and less able to deal with it, I’d rather not see it come.
I get that, I think I am starting to feel the same way. I like it when I don't have anywhere I need to be. The only problem is, then I need to clean it up when I do have somewhere I need to be!
