So, after visiting the capital for some possessions in storage, primarily a bed and my tea set, I have been thinking about what to do moving forwards. I suppose one could argue that I have already been doing that, but I mean some immediate implementations instead of overarching grand scheme…
Firstly, I want to resume eating less meat, and return to my older diet, with some caveats. Obviously my digestive system is a little different, but I want to refrain from take-out and meat (interrelated issue), and I will eventually revert back to eating rice once I can get my rice cooker back (it’s still in storage, I didn’t have the time to go through everything). I also miss the spice, condimente famen, which will remind me of the true flavours I desire to savour. In a month, I will be back in the western capital for another event, which is also an example of an exception to the meat caveat: for significant events, it’s fine, and the celebration for Master Simon is apt reason to indulge. Also, if it turns out that my diet is negatively affecting my appearance, I may also need to make adjustments to facilitate the 4th goal.
Secondly, I need to make some serious cash! Aside from funding the family, which I will supplement with the occasional bonus lump sum in addition to the regular stipend, I am considering going into business with Master Tyler as my copy-editor. It’s ideal for him, once we can get off the ground, and it aligns with my own writing goals. I also want to be able to treat 1st and 3rd Disciple accordingly, with 2nd Disciple being less of a priority.
Thirdly, it’s time to cultivate like I haven’t in a while, and practise kung fu like a young man again! I have been granted a buff, which will fade in time, to help facilitate my grinding. I am at level 7, and should consolidate all my martial arts now. In a while, maybe level 8 will be within reach! I truly appreciate the saying, “All good things take time,” now more than before.
Lastly, it’s time to rebrand and remarket once more. I have spent the last 12 as the Eccentric Gentleman, but now it’s time to lean back into my Gentlemanly aspect. As a demon takes on a form more pleasing to the eye, I shall also adopt a more attractive exterior. Ironically, all three prior targets also facilitate this: diet, exercise, and money combined with my personality makes for a proven successful public image.
With diligence, all my goals will see progress in a month.
