It's been a busy day. I really could drink a nice cold one. Working on Black Friday promo stuff for work. It's always one big project another another and I know I'm going to get burnt out again.

Another reminder to myself to ZOOM OUT often. It’s easy to get caught up of a few days (weeks and months) of Up Only. Then days that the market pulls back a little, we all get salty! 1. Is your portfolio value larger then when it the run up started? 2. Are you doing any capital preservation? 3. Are you planning for taxes, capital re-entry and profit exit (lock it up)? There are some things i’m reminding myself early in the run. I don’t want to paper chase and also be salty at other peoples success. We’re all here trying to do the same thing. If I have a plan and follow it, then that’s all that matters because it’s far too easy to round trip and be drunk with greed,

Posting here, because the noise here is much more subtle and my mind is much more clear in this part of the web. The only MEME/DOG coin I've invested in this cycle has been $WIF. I got in pretty early when I first started buying, but it was more so for play money and ran $1,000 up to $8,000 when it hit over $1, $2, $3 etc. Eventually rolled it back into $SOL then I cashed out during the correction POST $BTC ETF narrative. I re-entered during the bear and put in another low 4 figures on this coin, decided this would roll back into $SOL once it pops eventually. One of the "things" I looked forward to is when it got listed on Coinbase. Coinbase officially listed $WIF, which could explain its pre-pump yesterday and right now it's over 30%. I still think it's too early to cash everything out, but it's a serious time to look at targets and frequency of cashing out.

So much noise today. I have to do a demo for the marketing team this morning. I'm starting to get hit up by last cycle participants. I'm getting noti's for BTC hitting new ATH, but I can only focus on $COIN being down today.

*breath* That's part the bull cycle. The feeling of Up Only feels like it should be forever. The moment there's small pullbacks of even 3% and it's like all hell. LOL

Even though I still hold some doubt, I need to remind myself WE ARE IN A BULL RUN! I've seen BTC climb to 82K before bed. I woke up and saw notifications for 83K, then 84K... most likely 85K later this morning. I've already went risk-on and, NGL, started "CHASING" but have plans to cash some by EoY (I pray and hope I don't deviate too much from plans). I had small/mid cap stocks I went in on last quarter that were up, but I didn't cash out and they dipped hard because of "soft" guidance. I cashed out of those positions and to make up for the losses, I literally put it all into $COIN on Friday and it's already paid off. ☑️ Cash some of the cost basis ☑️ Cash out often, scheduled, towards March/April (for taxes)

Crypto-related reminders to myself: The moment I can't sleep and I'm creating an exit plan is probably a good time to cash out some. This happened to me during the Pre and Post run-up for the BTC ETF Approval. At my age, KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid!). This time around my bag is very very very very very simple. I still have my Crypto holdings from when I started (BTC + ETH). I sold and planned for taxes in early 2024 and ended up re-entering but only in SOL and WIF. With market sentiment in Stocks and Crypto and upcoming President Admin and Policies... I went full risk-on with freed up cashflow earlier this week.

Health is wealth! Work stress has been more balanced, but comes and goes. My wife and I take the dogs for a walk more frequently. We try to do it everyday, but sometimes it's just not possible. I've reached a new "weight" goal and also my pants are really starting to fall off me, which I'm not use to. Next year, I'd like to get down to a certain weight, but my focus is getting more muscle though. Muscle is the first thing that goes when you get older. My neck, my back, everything is out of whack. I've seen the chiropractor 4 times this year already (all within the last 2 months). Looking to strengthen my back, shoulder and neck. More mobility and resistant workouts. Also, handle stress better. Spend more time with family. I stress about always saving and making $, but sometimes we also have to enjoy it. The problem I have about trying to enjoy it is that I CAN'T ENJOY IT. My family can, but it's hard for me to justify value in doing something when I'm use to SAVE SAVE SAVE INVEST INVEST INVEST and SAVE!

I'm withering away! I started to send out a couple of resume's and I've been job searching. I'm still working, but not really happy. Job market isn't great, so I don't expect much. I'm trying to make the most out of my current situation, but I'm burnt out. I drove back to my parents house last night. I'm picking them up and taking them back up with me so they can spend time with there grand kids. My oldest turns 7 this week. Absolutely crazy how fast time goes by.

Lately Farcaster has been used as my way of venting with work related issues. LOL. I'm literally running on fumes. What started as allergies, sinus, etc., has not gone away. I have a cold now or maybe ear infection or something. I feel exhausted. I stayed up late last night to work, but also get off a job application. Looking to work with an agency that's remote first, remote only philosophy. Benefits look great (100% health coverage), but not sure salary would be near what I make now. There's a balance I'm looking for. I don't expect to hear back, but this was a great exercise in updating my resume and dev work. I know the Job Market isn't great, but I need to look around.

Being a father, seeing my oldest child's confidence fade and her being anxious and nervous about things breaks my heart. My oldest is sensitive to a lot of things, but she's out going and caring. She usually is not afraid to raise her hands or ask questions. She started 1st grade this year and maybe it's a big adjustments. She's involved in after school activities, but she's recently just started to ball and cry when playing in her basketball games. She is no longer having fun. I blame a lot of this on myself. I think my wife and I put a lot of pressure on her because she is very skilled and the best player on her team. The league she's in is more competitive than last year because we moved up a division.

I'm still dealing with anxiety over work, even though I am working from home. The major project we're working on, migrating stuff to a new platform, is chaotic. No one seems to know what to do, but the ones leading it seem to be confident in what to do next. There's a lot of missing pieces that are being overlooked and I feel overwhelmed. They're looking to me on connecting all these small integrations for marketing, but I have no idea how. It's just un-necessary pressure that really makes me want to give up. I'm not motivated. It's one thing where a project is chaotic, but knowing what to do and prioritizing things. However, this is where project is chaotic and everyone is unsure of what to do. I don't feel great about it and I don't know what to do. No one can really help, even though they are asking me how they can help yet they're the ones asking me to help them because they don't know what to do. It's literally a shit show.

health/fitness update: I hit one of my goals, but I haven't been tracking as closely. I had to be in office to work this week. I tried eating healthy, but it hasn't been balanced. Consumption of coffee then big dinners is what usually happened. I'm 2 pounds under my weight target, which is good. I haven't hit this weight since I started dating my wife nearly 10 years ago. I'm still more so about gaining muscle and I haven't been able to exercise since my back/neck injury. Chiropractic therapy has helped. I'm slowly getting back into my mobilty and stretching exercises, but focus is doing it properly. I'm slowly getting back to bodyweight expercies too.

I just wrapped up my last day of working in office for the year (I hope) and I survived. I'll admit I'm spoiled with having been able to WFH since the pandemic started. Driving into work, in Los Angeles traffic, has to be the worse. My coworkers who live literally 10 miles away, deal with 45 minute of traffic just to get to work. Unreal. I'm also an introvert. I feel like my boss and the other higher ups in Marketing favor extroverts or people who can verbally communicate and show confidence. I don't know what to say, but having to wake up early in the morning and commute for 2 hours, find parking and get into the office to be in meetings just drains the fcuk out of me. I was asked to be in office, because an off shore team would be onsite to help and go over stuff with a platform we're migrating to.

Work Update: I’m having anxiety about going into work tomorrow. Friday I drove 2 hours in traffic to get home and directly to my kids school for there school movie night. Kids were excited to see me and I missed them so much (was only gone for 2 days). Tomorrow I will drive back into work, but will get to leave later in the day and sit in 1.5 hours in traffic instead of >2 hrs. I’ll stay the night in LA after work. I’ll be in downtown LA for work dinner and I have no plans of driving into downtown. I’m literally a tourist and I hate parking in LA. I’m ubering my way. My weekend was so nice. I got to hangout with the kids, watch my oldest basketball game. Walked the dogs and let them play with each other even though that’s anxiety filled since they barely were introduced last week. If work seriously ask me to go into the office more, i’m literally looking for another job.

Work Update: The company I work for wanted me to go into the office today. I woke up 5:30am. I had a small breakfast, sip of coffee, and made sure I emptied the bladder. I did this twist stretch I usually do in the morning and there was thsi delayed reaction where i felt my mid and upper side muscles on my back just pulled. I got a warm pad, took it with me and had it on my back while driving. I left around 6:45am to be in traffic for 2 hours and make it to a 9:15am meet and greet in LA/Santa Monica. It's been a long day. Been in meetings the whole day. I had some time during the day where I got to actaully do some work. I worked closely with a team from Serbia and they helped get setup with their project. I feel behind with work, but the beat goes on.

Noticing sudden Crypto Chart + Sentiment + Narratives being posted on my Twitter Timeline again. I literally have not looked at price action and charts, in what feels like ages (maybe a few months) and surprised to see some momentum gaining and things potentially flipping. My hope is that I lose my feelings of greed and take profits frequently when any hints of euphoria hit.
