The Writing and Photography Blog of Kevin J Sabo

A lot has happened since I’ve written last.

I feel like a broken record, but work has been keeping me busy, as has school.

I didn’t want to, but I extended my current course again, as finishing it by the end of November just didn’t seem feasible. While I’m unhappy about the situation, it is what it is.

In addition to work and school, I finished a side project for the local Family and Community Support Services. That will be some much needed extra revenue, though I’m not going to lie, having the project done is also feeling good.

Picking up the project was good, though; it definitely pushed me creatively. I learned a lot about video editing through the process. That is something I want to lean into more. I just need to make better use of my time.

I want to lean more into the graphic design and art stuff as well. It just seems that there is never enough time for everything I want to do, especially when I want to remain good at my day job. I can’t do it all, no matter how much I try.

One thing I have noticed with my schedule is how little television I watch, compared to what I used to.

As far as television shows that Lynn and I watch together, we have been watching the FBI franchise, SWAT, Tracker, Ghosts, Star Trek: Lower Decks, and The Masked Singer. We also watch The Rookie, but it’s not back until 2025. When we are caught up on our current stuff, we will throw on an episode of Will Trent or Supernatural. As far as stuff I will watch on my own, I will throw on a current episode of The Simpsons, Family Guy, or What We Do in the Shadows. While The Simpsons still remains somewhat entertaining, I often find myself wondering why I watch the other two shows because they are bizarre.

While this still seems like a hefty television-watching list, it is under half of what it used to be. Instead of watching television, I find myself leaning more towards reading, either for school or for fun, or working towards getting into a consistent workout routine. Something that doesn’t help my television-watching time is I am usually out of the home several nights a week attending board or council meetings. The funny thing is, while my television time has dropped, I’m not finding I’m missing it. I do enjoy the shows I watch with Lynn, when I get the chance to watch them, but I don’t find I am overall missing out.

In an effort to help with my health, I have been chatting with my local medical clinic’s weight management person, and I am working on a weight management plan with them to try and shed some extra weight and get my blood sugars under control. While I have been working out, it has been inconsistent, and I seem to have hit a wall in my weight loss journey. I need some help to make a change to break through it.

In an effort to start creating more content for my blog, and as a way to keep myself accountable, I think I’m going to start sharing more of my workout/health stuff on here as I strive to get to my goals.

When this blog started nearly 850 posts ago, it was dedicated to my mental health recovery. In that time, it has had several soft reboots because the fact is, I have changed in that time. I’m not the same person I was when I first started down this path in 2018. While mental health is always going to be a part of me, it is not the beginning and the end.

The name of the website is kevinjsabophotography.com, and I am going to push myself to create more photography-related content while still using this forum as a safe place to share.

Hit me up in the comments if there is any photography, mental health, or fitness related content you would like me to share.
