I’ve fallen into a steady routine that fortunately doesn’t have to do with hospital beds or infusions for a change. <\/p>\n

My day-to-day mostly consists of long walks with my dog Wolf, a run, lifting weights, and studying for pretty much the rest of the time. I listen to Alan Watts lectures on philosophy during those long walks first thing in the morning. I don’t have Instagram\/Facebook on my phone to minimize distraction.<\/p>\n

During what we hope is the last of pandemic, I’ve been trying to make the time I have as productive (and relaxing) as possible, focusing on what is going to pay off in the long term.<\/p>\n

Right now, I’m enrolled at Scottsdale Community College and taking courses in philosophy, logic, psychology, math, and English. All of these subjects are extremely interesting to me, and I literally enjoy them… I haven’t enjoyed school in quite some time.<\/p>\n

After I’m done with a day’s studying, I go onto Fastweb and apply to as many qualifying scholarships as I can. After a good homemade meal at the end of the day, I pour myself a hefty bowl of granola with fruit in it. I cannot think of any better desert.<\/p>\n

If I’m really lucky, there will be a new episode of The Expanse on Amazon video. I started watching The Expanse in early May during recovery. I know it’s cheesy to say, but the show keeps me optimistic that technology and science will advance to such a level that we will explore our solar system. It’s quite a way to doze off into sleep.<\/p>\n

How’s my liver? Well, my scar is healing nicely. I see my hepatologist monthly and get bloodwork done regularly. So far so good. Taking my medicines I have down to an artform and there are still quite a few. Happy to be here, so it’s all good!<\/p>\n
