Reminder to my Idahoan brethren and sistren:
Polls are open NOW for early voting. Early voting ends October 30th--this Friday.
Election Day is November 3rd (Tuesday).
Christ's literal Church is AGAINST this initiative. Get out there and vote NO on Prop 1. It's important.
Restitution is an important, oft overlooked, part of the repentance process. When possible, we should seek to repair any harm done.
There are many cases, though, where the best course of action is to let sleeping dogs lie.
"How gracious of you to reply to this vile sinner, Elder Gong, but just know, he's a bad person, unlike me."
Blackblessed is literally the nicest guy on X. This reply is making me sexist.

Morning weigh-in: 252.6
I'm heading in the right direction again. I'm just suprised I let it get so high. ~260. It happened so fast--like 10 lbs overnight.
New, sedentary office job + stress from said job. Multiple hunting trips where all I ate was fruity pebbles & mtn dew.
One of those cases where I had the toys and loved them, but I never watched a single episode of the show.
Listed a few more: a random 1st edition Yugioh card I have that WOULD be worth a lot if it weren't MP. And a couple of McDonald's promos that--again--would be worth a lot if they weren't trashed.
The most money I ever made in a single sale was a damaged McDonald's promo.
Alright. I was able to accomplish most of what I set out to do today.
I read the first 3 chapters of Warfare in the BoM. Got into the scriptures a little bit.
I practiced guitar after work. I just tried to record myself playing a song. It didn't go very well. I'll have to come up with a more effective practice routine.
I even listed a few cards on my seller account. My digital store is officially open. The idea is to sell modern cards and collect vintage. (Don't worry, I won't try to hawk my cards on X. That's tacky.)
And I'm going to read a chapter or 2 of Dune: Messiah before bed.
Today was a partial success. Not everything went according to plan, but I feel good about it. I still need to figure out what works.
(The cards in my inventory rn. Nothing crazy. Near mint except for the Decidueye--he came out of the package with a little defect on one corner.)

I think it's time for another hard reset. I'm in a rut. I've fallen back into old habits. Let my productive endeavors fall by the wayside. Gained a bunch of weight.
I've already started correcting that last thing. I'm doing Keto again. Down a few pounds.
I want to incorporate some serious, deep scripture study into my daily routine. Not just podcasts/YouTube vids. I want to pick an aspect of scripture that I'm particularly interested in and just go all in (why I was asking about books on warfare in the Book of Mormon yesterday).
I want to start practicing the guitar again. I've kind of been consumed by collecting trading cards lately. It's become my primary hobby. I want to keep doing that, but it's a passive hobby. I'm not doing/creating anything. The guitar is more rewarding in a lot of ways.
And I just want to re-center myself on Christ. Work on that connection. Daily, earnest prayer. Scripture study.
Wish me luck.
Whoa, one of the Lord's anointed replied to @BlackBlessedLDS on X
(Makes me nervous lol; I wasn't aware that the Brethren were monitoring the situation so closely--not on X, anyway.)
I'm 3 essays in. It's been great so far. I think this is exactly what I was looking for--something I can really sink my teeth into.
I'm just reading it off of the BYU website rn. I just ordered a hard copy. I need it in my hands. I want to mark things.
3 paragraphs into Warfare in the BoM and I'm already finding interesting insights.
Nephi was specifically instructed by the Lord to keep a record about the wars and contentions of his people. Both of Nephi's records were recorded equally by way of commandment.
The wars are important. It's not just filler. For the Nephites, there was no separation between church and state--religion and politics. War was an "all-important religious affair and sacred obligation."

I did NOT wake up at 4:00. That was a stupid plan. Why did I think I could do that?
I did get out of bed, but after standing there, thinking about it for a minute, I got back in.
I just start work too early to be doing this. Sleep's important. I don't get enough of it as is.
The plan:
Before work tomorrow, wake up early, weigh myself, shower, and then study the scriptures. Warfare in the BoM is free online. I'll start there.
Restart Dune Messiah. Read it whenever I have a chance throughout the day.
1 hr guitar practice immedietly after work. This one's highly dependent on what my afternoon looks like, familial responsibilities.
I'd like to list a couple cards on my TCGplayer seller account at some point as well. Get that ball rolling. Clean and organize the area where I'll be storing and selling the cards (my room).
I just want to be more productive overall. I'm fading.

Hey guys, I went back to being public. I am trying to get enough interaction to get monetized. With Kevin out of work, I have to use every opportunity I have.
I'm going to be posting CFM content a lot. Please like, share, and answer for me. I need to get my interactions up.
Avenged Sevenfold is my favorite band. I've been lucky enough to see them 3 times in concert. This last time (8/26), I noticed they were selling trading cards at the merch booth. At the time, I didn't think much of it, but now that I'm all into trading cards again, I went online to see if I could snag any.
Apparently, there were only ~1000 made. There are 5 cards, 3 variations each. The lowest price I can find online is $100 (for the common ones). The rare ones ("magma" 5% pull rate) are in the $1000s.
They were $25 at the show. I should have bought a few. I didn't know how scarce they'd be. Probably not liquid at all. Only for diehard A7X fans.
