Last TOM - 9/20/21....
Currently reading a NYPL digital book called "The Energy Bus." - to continue when i finish my class. - it's a leadership book.
2022 and beyond - Studies/Thoughts:
continue short advanced paralegal 6-week courses (there's a list of 16 or so and i plan to take up to 6 total; i am now finishing my 3rd) in 2022? If i do all 6 of my choice, i can get a college completion certificate from an affiliated New York State college. i don't need it, but it's a good challenge. will cost around $1200 total more.
can prob get reimbursed this time for the above approx costs, unlike last time when i didn't apply for reimbursement in the same year so my window of opportunity for reimbursement closed. just saying, i can study "free of charge" as it was my father's money to me in a fund and still has leftover.
read about leadership on my own, do not pursue degrees/payable coures. study it on my own. I had been thinking to do a 3 course program as an "advanced degree" which is similar to courses thru a master's program. it's short, so it's still something of interest, but i'm thinking reading books about leadership/management may be suitable instead of paying a university...just thinking i have only like 15+ years of good working ahead of me...and that's just enough time to get into the courts and work there doing my best, prob won't become a leader.
...so that's why this is just good "reading material" and not necessary courses i should lay out money for. i'm 39, so in 15 years, i'm approx 55 (i think this is older than Donkey is now so she can relate in terms of changing positinos/fields...maybe also LegCramps can relate to this..)...- if anyone else has any thoughts, please offer yours! - Bear, InnerP, Jacky, Brett, Maria, etc..Kathy) and would prob have gotten up to whatever highest position i'll do for the rest of my life by then (i do not anticipate a lot of changes after that, of course you never know - but that's just my gut talking!) so, administratively, i don't think business courses are suitable now. a few more of the 6 week advanced paralegal courses would be, though. then, i'd be done with them by 2023. no more school after that, i don't think? and hopefullly applying for paralegal by then / it's called court assistant in the courts, actually.
NYS (New York State) courts has updated it's site, very very slightly, organizing the careers/professions that include public exams and which don't. i've always known this, i'm just saying it's much more organized on their site - which may mean they are getting ready to administer tests again and also looking to educate the public for the public positions.
the site also includes some (very little, but it's been upated) extra reading material on the exams and prep. I will update myself. still no exams upcoming or anything, but the site has slight material added to it. so will take a look.

Have a great workout! It was leg day for me. Oof!
nice job on legs, will do that also.
maybe i'll post a photo of the shirt later, as advertised on amazon :)
I really like your plan! I seriously feel that you need a break from studying. Three classes in 2022 is a realistic plan. I love that you plan to read & learn on your own. There are various aspects to business management. You don't necessarily have to limit yourself to business management per se, but say time management, personnel management, conflict resolution, motivation, etc.
I hope that you will be able to view some of the videos for Week 6 - that would be a great head start, and it's not reading or writing (except for notes you may take). Perhaps watching the videos first will enrich your reading experience. Anyway, it's a great idea if it happens :-) And if it doesn't, that's OK too!
thanks for the reminder that there's a lot of related materials. you put it right out there, which was thoughtful and very intuitive.

Currently reading a NYPL digital book called "The Energy Bus." - to continue when i finish my class.
Business Law:
Because i got such a late start to today, i'd rather skip the workout for tonight and do it tomorrow instead....so i can do more work for this course to free up more time tomorrow...
Saturday - any course videos, BB5, Writing 5 homework; weights workout/full body
slept in; and it felt good.
doing my laundry today; still have to clean gp cages later or tomorrow :) ...glad that's all done :); also organized some papers a little bit more than they were (throwing out all papers i don't need).
relaxing day; prob staying home all day today to get a move on the course and my exercises that i'd like to do (strength exercises).
With the course, i have to stay on track now; as the course is ending soon! most of the work i did and learning i had will be forgotten, but there were a few challening parts of the course that made it worth taking. teacher didn't give lots of feedback like others, especially due to her having abdominal surgery and the course starting off track, but i can say business law intro was worth taking.
cardio rest day, most probably.
11am-12 1st meal: serving of mini cookies with choc coating and coffee 200, banana 120, yogurt 180 (mango yoplait regular type).
3pm meal: almond flour sm tortilla 100, chicken bacon x2 70...ritz crackers 200+...plum x2 100.
6pm snacks: coconut filled wafers, was ok. 150. 2 more wafers, trying to finish videos, didn't start written homework yet got a late start to everything today but at least laundry's done! 100
dinner: boxed veg soup, tomato type broth, with potatoes in it 200 i had awhile in my pantry to which i added salt ...and tofu 200
1650..
Sunday - week 5 homework continued? maybe done...
supermarket for fruit/bananas; think about veggies i'll eat for the week? microwave veggies in light sauces?
think about a bday gift for dad :) he's turning 69 soon...any suggestions? nothing too pricey, has to be thoughtful...maybe i make matching tshirts for him, my sister's hubby, and the baby :)

I predict that you are taking a nap as I type this ;-) Maybe not, though - it's getting to be dinnertime and kind of late in the day to nap. Kind of like your class, you're in the homestretch for the day -- it's almost bedtime, you can do it. (LOL)

I walked an hour after work thru the park areas and nice park of the neighborhood by work! was great. visited some blocks for the first time :) it was perfect weather (73F with full sun) so i wanted to get some nice cardio in :)
Friday - public trans ? - def should, have a lot to read; do not want to read much on weekend.
didn't take public trans, was rainy anyways, but got up early. spent a bit under an hour reading, but did find myself closing my eyes a few times between paragraphs. did the reading between 5:20am-6:10am or so. got a lot done as the reading material got easiler. just have 3 pages left out of 12 total. read 9. decent. will get sunny later, will walk by work before driving home.
breakfast: kombucha early on drive to wake up 50, coffee and banana 150, keto muffin 200..400...
snacks: 2 med chocs 100, small wrap chive cream cheese 150.
lunch: healthy - leftover tofu 50, salad with olive oil 100, pan fried healthier type of dumpling. tastes good. thai basil or something, would buy again. 250. 400. pb crackers 150. 550...
snacks: on way home, around 5pm, peach large and kombucha 150.
7:45pm later dinner, some extra traffic plus i got the good walk in before driving home which was wonderful!: 3 remaining dumplings of a healthier variety pan fried 200, salad with olive oil and seasonings 100, too many cookies (2 servings) 300 cal..

9/23 Thursday - after parking, walked for 15 min in dark for exercise; recorded, not best time to be walking outside but only available option to get some movement in and wake up before attempting to read my notes. (bc last time, i was nodding off in my car; so this time i drove in, walked, and went to work to study since it's open early).
drove in early (was a little late to take public trans, didn't want to be stressed about possibly being late; and the drive is very fast if i leave very early - so did a fast drive in) to study notes Week 5 - def should...have a lot of pages to read; do not want to read on weekend..
Extra banana 120
Coffee 30

1950...
walked 15 after work, since it was windy and cloudy even though it was warm, just to get heart rate up and not really sweaty before driving home.
Planning to walk later in the evening or just a bike ride at home; once i am home - it's hot out and i'm not wearing something lightweight...so i'll go home before any exercise. I wasn't able to study much this AM - too many work distractions to study at work, before work starts for me. ah well. lots of coworkers come in early, so they are there and i couldn't focus. reminder - TAKE PUBLIC TRANSPORT if i'm going to study. just writing...not that interesting info going on otherwise! lol.

i am almost 50% through. took a break from it to do this business law course. not reading the Energy book now.
however, when done with this course, i will get another loan out on the book (i'm reading it virtually on the library app). i will loan it out again to finish it. that's why i keep it posted here, to remember the name of the title. it's not a bad book, and it's good motivation and reminders.

but sometimes it does feel overwhelming like it never ends!
i will prob lay back from planning for the rest of the year to some extent.
and in terms of more education, i figure i can save my money and just read books on leadership, etc, as well as the other paralegal topics. i think saving money and not "going to school" is really what i should consider! haha...maybe i've had enough classes for awhile!
planning can help you if there's something new you want to get into. like a new hobby or project...
makes sense you had to plan for your home, yes. any project you do semi-successfullly needs a plan! :) xo

PHOTO BELOW: Fire Island Lighthouse, it's open to walk up if you want to, daily. we just went in to see the stairs, but didn't walk up. maybe another day or maybe never will i walk up it...we walked enough as is ;)
9/19/21 Sunday - out east on Long Island with parents :-) spontaneous plans, lots of walking most probably. maybe some photos taken :)
3 hours in sun.
9:30am breakfast: keto muffin i made yesterday 200, mixed with oatmeal/almond milk mix 150, coffee 50. 400.
snacks:chocolates 150-200
lunch:2:30 pizza approx 800? - parents and i ate halfway thru our hike/walk thru beach and beach towns. they are very fit to hold up. we walked for around 2-2.5 hours, resting a few times. (i rested the most, ha!)
snack blow pop, diet coke 50 (while driving home, getting gas, picking up a few things at supermarket)
dinner: salad with olive oil/vinegar 100 (just cucumbers and iceberg lettuce - using some things up before they spoil), part of a spicy pork sausage 100, a little more than 2.5 servings everything flavor ritz 250. 450.
1950...will stick with this; have some nice, stevia sweetened seltzer and go to bed around 9pm prob :)
9/20/21 - Monday - Sister's 36th bday! boy does time fly! (celebrating earlier? on weekend?) see about it.
Not much pre-planning to come....unless i start making plans with family/friends...i will sign up for another course after finishing Business Law. there's, i think, 2 months rest period between courses when i take them with Center for Legal Studies. so that's good. Overall, i have enjoyed all of them except 1. I have had all different instructors. All were good, except 1. I have, to date, had 4 different instructors. so that's great that all were great except 1 - hard to communicate with and course didn't include multiple courses of instruction like videos, etc, just a textbook and then the final and exams weren't even off it only...lol. all other courses taught exactly what they should have and i attained a lot of knowledge from taking part ;)
Will be trying to lessen days off and wait to take them until real Winter, as in January...if i have to take one or two before then - ok, but i don't think i'll have to.

9/18/21 Saturday - 9am-10:30am - Volunteering Cleanup @ Plumb Beach, Brooklyn Area. Decided not to drive there. wasn't in the mood for a sorta longer drive or to volunteer. slept in a little more....
Rather than cardio, I will do weights, upper and lower, today; possibly a cardio break today. I have a dentist appt on Tuesday at 6pm, so would rather just rest after that (hence doing weights today and again on Monday instead of tuesday)
did some laundry, may do some more tomorrow. (bed sheets, gp fleece)
Now onto Week 4 studies/work:
- Readings finished by noon. (DONE!)
- onto the videos - in progress at noon DONE!
- BB4 (bulletin board 4 assignment as they are called, students taking class can see others' answers after we submit ours - to compare and learn from other classmates) - easier assignments this week, DONE!
- Writing Assignment 4 - heavier assignment, worth more points than the BB assignments that are only with 10 points vs 100 points, i think, for writing assignments weekly. we cannot see others' work after we submit. ..easier assignment as well, DONE!
It would be nice to finish almost everything today...but i'm sure i'll need some time tomorrow as well..will be DONE!
8:30am First small breakfast: 2 of the keto choc pb cups 150, kombucha 50.
then, i did fall asleep later for an hour more....
11am meal after nap, 1 pancake 160, ran out of jelly, so had it plain as it was nice and thin and tasty like that; 1 more pb cup 80. 250 approx...may have a coffee also..50
12pm small lunch/snack: a leftover mashed potato/pea indian fried samosa. good size on it. 250? was tasty. since cals are low and i'm doing work, i decided to indulge and fill any "hunger."...since i really just had some food an hour ago. so that was easy to fill up easily...
1:30 snack: last of the peach gummies, plenty more gummies exist here though! 100...
2:30 while doing laundry/studying...got snacky and into the ritz everything coated crackers. over 3.5 servings. 350 cals.
4:15 a yogurt that was very sweet, LaYogurt a mango yogurt marketed to Latino community...they have many marketing/types and with varying calories. this one was def sweet! 170, plus one chocolate and one milano cookie 100.
Will exercise - full body strength workout soon :)
1500....
9/19/21 Sunday - Finish week 4 studies/work :) i am no longer behind, but need to stay on task and on time with the Week 4 work, due 9/22/21.
9/20/21 - Monday - Sister's 36th bday! boy does time fly! (celebrating earlier? on weekend?) see about it.
Not much pre-planning to come....unless i start making plans with family/friends...i will sign up for another course after finishing Business Law. there's, i think, 2 months rest period between courses when i take them with Center for Legal Studies. so that's good. Overall, i have enjoyed all of them except 1. I have had all different instructors. All were good, except 1. I have, to date, had 4 different instructors. so that's great that all were great except 1 - hard to communicate with and course didn't include multiple courses of instruction like videos, etc, just a textbook and then the final and exams weren't even off it only...lol. all other courses taught exactly what they should have and i attained a lot of knowledge from taking part ;)
Will be trying to lessen days off and wait to take them until real Winter, as in January...if i have to take one or two before then - ok, but i don't think i'll have to.
Progress as of today: 5 lbs lost so far, only 0 lbs to go!
It's probably a good thing to take a break from pre-planning too much, although, to your credit, you've always allowed yourself the luxury of being able to cancel without feeling guilty, if need be.
Did you end up having a dinner last night? Or did you keep it kind of snacky? What is the brand name of the keto PB cups? You know, there are recipes online where you can make your own. I used to make a dark chocolate/peanut butter candy, when I was doing keto. However, rather than being separate, the peanut butter and chocolate were combined, melted, and then poured into an ice cube tray to freeze. So yummy, but they were called "fat bombs" for a reason.

You plan to retire at 55? Ppl I know say they either can’t afford it or it gets boring. Maybe different if one has resources and something worthwhile/enjoyable to do.
Did you see the 100 year old park ranger on the news who’s retiring? Wonder Woman!
No - I’m thinking at 55 hopefully I will remain at that position awhile or work in relatively the same role from there until like 60+
I’ve gotta look that woman up!
But yeah, I will prob continue to work at least part time in my 60s most probably!!! I plan to work past 55 for sure - just don’t really see myself progressing to higher responsibilities after that age , although you never know

Long time away! You saying it will take you until 55 to be settled in a profession? I guess I’m missing something. That seems unlikely.
no no, i am saying i don't think i'll be promoted much after 55...
I hope to be "settled" by 45-48, actually. maybe sooner. depends on NYS courts and if i get in. if i don't, i will have to rethink a bit...but i have good opportunitites to get my foot in the court door :)
so i hope to get in by 45; mostly settled 55 with maybe a promotion or so...and by 55 mostly working where i'll be, possibly small promotions.
Jacky82020 on 09/27/2021:
Well, I guess it all depends. The job promotions on the job.
