I've been packing up the studio, too, in advance of the move. I'm sorry to see all my stuff get boxed up, but I haven't been using it lately due to a bit of a funk earlier, and now needing to do renos etc.
The new place is smaller than this one, and right now their storage lockers are oversubscribed, so I'm not sure where I'll even store stuff, much less unpack it to use it.
But that's a question for, probably late August to be honest, but we'll see. I do want to paint!
One thing I'd forgotten about doing lots of DIY reno work is how absolutely chewed up your hands get, especially if you've not been doing that stuff for a couple years. No calluses = shredded hands. One of my finger tips split. My phone doesn't recognize my fingerprints either. At least I haven't forgotten how to do stuff, and I kept most of the tools.
What you do on day 101 is up to you. You'll likely have improved your cardio and core strength.
Keep doing a hundred, or switch over to the 7 minute work out, or do sprints, or interval training.
Kind of like a couch to 5k except you don't have to go outside.
The 100 day burpee challenge is where on day 1, you do a single "burpee" a.k.a. jumping squat thrust.
It's an exercise thing.
Then on day 2, you do 2 of them.
Three months later, you're doing 90 a day, then 91, 92. You stop at 100 on day 100, having done 5050 burpees.
It sucks, but is pretty gradual. You don't have to do them all at once; you can do ten and take a break, or do 20 in the morning, etc.
I did it last year, and I'm doing it again this year; I'm on day 6.
Help me federate! If you see this toot, interact with it, either my boosting or replying. A simple "Hi!" will do a lot π
lick one paw, rub face, lick lick lick, rub rub rub
lick other paw, rub face, lick lick lick, rub rub rub.

Some Good Free Advice:
1: Straight up email people further along the path you're on. The people worth listening to won't care that you're some nobody (and they won't see you that way).
2: Increase your luck surface area. The more you have out there, the more people will find you. You can't predict the hits, but you can systematize your work so your output is consistent and high quality. For example, I have a paper list of chord progressions I use and check off when I start a song.

Hey @Gargron I really miss the dark-on-light theme. I'm old and my eyes are bad and light text on dark kills readability for me. Can you please ensure we here on .social have a usable theme? Thanks very much.
Update for the general public: we bought a condo in the Village, downtown Toronto, fulfilling some long-term dreams (and tapping life-long savings). Still looking for the right job(s), but at least come August we'll be living in the right place.

So many of these stones are artifacts. Bricks, concrete, asphalt. Cherry Beach, Toronto.
