I am committed to push on and therefore, will do daily check-ins to make sure I am on track!

Manuel’s log 1720622944
My friend Andrew just came back from Arizona. He sent me a video of a house while he was in Arizona, a model home. The house was gorgeous!
Just shows what I don’t know, I don’t know. This motivated me to do better… No more time wasters, like watching dumb movies that do not change my life! Well the last movie I watched did change my life, my life lost three hours with no benefit. What movie? The Fear of Darkness (A brilliant young psychiatrist is forced to confront the dark creature that dwells deep within her own subconscious when she investigates the supernatural disappearance of a university student.) and Die Hart 2: Die Harder (In this sequel, Kevin Hart, now the world’s biggest action star, finds himself the victim of an evil revenge plot and must enlist the help of his favorite co-star and his over-eager assistant if he wants to survive.).
Yes… I have no one to blame but me.
