A Focus on 2024

UPDATE: As of October 2024, while yet to “get back at it,” I am alive. Full of ideas, new insights, and learnings to include on the blog, I choose to continue this year’s hiatus in favor of the personal work of recovery. To know what is going on in vague terms, read on:

February, March, April, now May…

This recovery is taking a lot longer than expected.

Not going to sugarcoat it – a lot has been done, a lot is being done, and a  many things are left upcoming. Sounds vague because it is. I just do not know what comes next 🤷‍♂️

What I can say is I am working every day to get use of my right hand and arm back. There is still talk of repairing what caused the damage in the first place, which will put me back down again. Everything planned for is out the window and everything else is on the table.

Over these next few weeks, I might be back to work, I might be in the ER, I might be electing surgeries additional just to cover every single base I can. With that uncertainty comes a lack of consistency. I speak of the blog here – I have so many ideas in my head of things to write, yet no time, no energy, no standard schedule allowing to keep up the weekly cadence.

To help in my recovery I am going to remove this one thing off my plate, off the table, the blogging. Just for a little while. For the rest of 2024, I will not be posting further updates to JimmyChattin.com. This will save me mental capacity and give me freedom to take notes on the blogs I do want to write. Whether or not I wish to keep writing blogs at all of what I learn, what I make. I think I will write, but given everything so far, I foresee myself as very plastic in my choices.

Thank you for being here with me so far. Thank you for being a great reader and a genuinely curious person. I look forward to learning more, I look forward to sharing that learning with you, I look forward to recovering, I look forward to being back in life living it to its fullest extent.

With that, signing off. Check out the years of posts previous for insights on money, decision-making, relationships, game design, and more. See you in 8 months, give or take! With my most sincere regards, cheers to your 2024 ~
