Overwhelmed, Overstimulated, Over-everything

August 6, 2026
I confess, I’m having a rough time. I was talking with my men’s coach and I was rather caught off guard when he said, “of course you’re feeling what you feel and you’re making all these bad decisions, it makes perfect sense”. It didn’t make sense to me, because I was so mentally tied up

Trading – July Ending 07/31/2026

August 1, 2026
I have decided to change my trading updates from weekly to monthly. Mostly because my other posts about anything other than trading are getting lost.

Memes and Life’s Progression

July 24, 2026
I had quite the revelation deleting things from my phone. One of the things I do, is share memes on Facebook and Instagram (through Facebook). I often save a meme to my phone and then upload it, rather than sharing it outright, because if I upload it, it will go to both Facebook and Instagram

As I’ve mentioned before in the post titled The Accident, I was in a near-fatal car accident at the literal beginning of the year, well, five hours into it anyway. One of the things I was “gifted” with from the drunk driver, was a colostomy bag when they had removed six inches of my colon

This week was a lot less trading, mostly in part due to running out of available funds to trade with. Apparently, that’s what happens when you sell weekly puts but monthly covered calls. I suppose that was the obvious outcome to everyone except me. To put it another way, the timeframe on the puts and
