Based on a True Story
I am not sure which is the more important take away from this tale Google Alerts (GA) or recovered memory function. GA are a resource I use everyday.
One that I had set up was for memory loss. My memory was so bad at one point in my life that I had hold a finger on an entry in the phone book because I could not retain #'s in my memory long enough to dial them on the phone.
I came across GA one day and decided to try "Improve Memory" as my search term.
At first I had it set up to return results daily but this added too much to my daily routine, so I changed it to weekly.
Over the course of time two different threads appeared. Practice-practice-practice, and Omega 3 fatty acids.
Practicing memory games gets very boring very fast, so one day I bought some flaxseed oil and started using it. The difference is night and day. I can remember 10 digit numbers the first time I see them and I can retain them. Dramatic change.
Flesh eaters can get their Omega 3's from fish oils. For vegetarians I highly recommend flaxseed oil as Omega 3's are not pervasive in our diets.
I usually have 3 or 4 alerts open at anyone time tracking topics of interest, especially for late breaking updates.
I just found out about effective new treatment for smell loss through GA's. It's only effective while taking the medications, so not something I am interested in. But, it's new and interesting, and most importantly I know about it.
Net worth took a minor hit as I took losses in my stock portfolio faster than I am paying down debt. Looking back over time, it is becoming clear that I have increased my knowledge exponentially, but managing a portfolio is time consuming. As such I have decided to hand my portfolio over to a professional wealth manager. I will have to top it up to 20K plus first, so it's a work in progress.
I have also found a new accountant. Any good accountant will make you 10 times the money you pay them. Ask around. Get one.
Although my tenants always pay, they are always late. I can live with that, but I find it takes a lot of work to keep on top of what is a fair rent, and finding dependable local tradesmen (although this hasn't been an issue yet). I have decided to pay the 10% of the rent and hired a property manager.
Been doing my research on Cuba for xmas, mostly by reading Lonely Planet forums Cuba branch. It served me well for Egypt. I will buy a LP guide for the maps and schedules before I leave. Haven't bought the ticket yet, because it may be that it's cheaper to buy an all inclusive deal and then just go on your merry way. We'll see. I have also decided to try and make it for 2 weeks with only one piece of carry on luggage, instead of my back pack. No more waiting at the luggage carousel, or lost luggage.
The kids are alright, tonite.
Have accommodation's and ticket for Pemberton Music Fest.
Had a major crane upgrade since I posted last photo's. But photo's are against the rules, so it will be a bit before I post new ones.
Still waiting for answer on Irish passport.
My life is balanced between work and play. I can sustain it till I get my "A good woman".
