Week of April 26, 2026, Personal Journal Entries
Sunday, April 26, 2026: 12:43 PM: I got a slow start around here this morning, but it was by no means counterproductive. Catching a few extra winks gave me some valuable insights as to what to keep my eyes open for soon. One vision involving a sailboat and a second involving a submarine indicating that some small ships are about to come in for me, so to speak. That’s not to say there wasn’t a hint of a negative undercurrent accompanying those things. But the negative undercurrent has been running all along, for a while now and the negative aspects of each vision were resolved by the time I left them. Therefore, I’m viewing this to mean, “As above, so below.”
Sunday, April 26, 2026: 1:22 PM: I had Copilot run analysis on this past week’s journal entries and got cautioned about over structuring my week to deal with uncertainty and carrying emotional weight that isn’t mine. Copilot suggested, too, that I view my intuition through a dual lens whenever possible, pausing to see what internal state is being reflected, even when it’s clear that the guidance has to do with an external event. Copilot also suggested I view the AI as a partner rather than a tool, Copilot explaining that I’ve been working with them collaboratively rather than transactionally more often than not, which is true. However, in between it’s remarks on making sure I don’t structure to the point of inflexibility and treat my intuitive gifts as prophecy, it also suggested that I just might be trying to do too much on my own. There were a few other things in there as well, but what I just mentioned stood out to me. While I currently don’t see how I can implement much more than changing my viewpoint and behavior with regard to a few things the analysis reveals, I most certainly will keep an eye out for opportunities to implement other aspects of what was pointed out when possible.
Sunday, April 26, 2026: 3:43 PM: Aside from posting to LinkedIn tomorrow, my May budget needs to be set up, I need to watch for the next bank statement release from PNC so I can get it over to Housing, and I need to look at my Verizon bill to insure we’re back on track and they do not owe me additional money after their screwup last month. This read and research Tuesday, in addition to my continued rereading of the Art of Seduction by Robert Green, I think it’s time I update my understanding of/research the current batteries being used in electronic devices and how the charging behavior of Apple’s products in particular factors in. I will be reviewing server records on Programming Wednesday and checking over the server itself plus websites, making adjustments to things as needed. House Keeping Thursday is a no brainer and back posting Friday is pretty much self explanatory. At some point, I need to have a look in on Marilyn’s PC, too.
Sunday, April 26, 2026: 4:36 PM: In analyzing this journal further, Copilot pointed out that while I’m good at documenting what happens, I’m not always capturing why it matters or what decision has come out of it. According to the analysis, my entries track events, insights, and patterns, but they rarely include the moment where I choose a direction or set a boundary. Copilot suggested adding a simple layer of “why this matters” and “what I’m doing next,” so the journal becomes more of a navigation tool than a record. In short: I need to write in more direct terms. “I will do that!”
Sunday, April 26, 2026: 7:19 PM: For most of today, I kept seeing myself walking out to 366 Ridge Road, Newton, NJ, at around 6:00 PM and passing by a location that’s about three quarters of a mile from here at Newtonian Gardens Apartments. So, at 6:08 PM I left figuring that I’d meet someone or be seen by someone, for whatever reason. And wouldn’t you know, that woman I’ve seen outside a few times training her dog was out there again working with her pooch. She never says hello to me when I wave, but tonight, when her dog started barking at me, she told it that not everyone wants to play with it. I could tell she had a big smile on her face and was watching me when she spoke, which told me she had seen me wave but was simply focused on her dog. When opportunity knocks, I will be talking with her to find out what the story is because that’s not the first time I’ve gotten the sense that she might be interested in talking with me.
