Well goddamn these stops and starts!
Since my last update I have completed that large contract, so my bank account is nice and fat right now until Uncle Sam comes calling for his cut. I thought I would restart the trading work this week as I now have many months/years runway but I had another tempting, but not as large, contract plop on my desk.
I stopped the auto trading because I couldn't dedicate enough time to keeping it running.
During this sometimes stressful contract, my health suffered significantly because I had to deal with managing people, which I can do, but not well. Firing people is surprisingly fun, but man that karma is going to come back one day (I always left them with a severance - one person refused and threatened to sue - LOL). What I mean by health suffering is I used to run for about 45 minutes a day and do 1 hour of calesthenics. Now, I get winded running up and down the stairs. It's pretty depressing especially since this is a 4 storey townhome.
This is solely due to having many 16-18 hour days, 7 days a week for the last few months. No energy/schedule left to work out.
It would probably take me about 3-6 months to bring my regular habits back.
So that's what I'm going to focus on. Without my body feeling good, my mind is just in a fog.
Until then...
