Not only do Mooses state it’s tomorrow, Mooses also note it’s now snowing.

Carry on.

Really, truly and honestly gotta love sending an eMail with the *wrong* launch ending time. After making that mess, I sent a followup apologizing for my idjutness and offered a paid product for free to make amends.

And then I discovered the 2nd date was off by 2 days. Sigh. Coffee?

Finally got REM sleep last night. And OMG it was so... *good*.

Been a looooong time it has. And now I'm up and ready to make wonderful things happen!

When's the last time you had a real, deep sleep?
December 11, 2025 at 1:46 PM
Good morning all! How's that rising and shining coming for you?

Me, Today is Day 2 in waking up at a nice normal 3am and getting work done during the wee hours of the 'morn. Never be afraid to go past what your mentors or guides say - you know *you* best so make things shine!
December 9, 2025 at 8:59 AM
Mooses would like to inform you it is not yet a nice normal 4am.

I have brave moosies. I doubt if UnderDog would look as regal in a cape as this one!

Carry on.

Welp, that sure didn’t last. Up at 3am, got some great work done, and now I’m falling asleep on my keyboard after 3 hours. A nap is calling.,,

I'm doing something that terrifies me this week.

Not sure if I'm ready but that's probably the point.

You ever just commit before you can talk yourself out of it?

Good morning! How is that rising and shining coming along for you today?

Me I’ve decided on testing a new digital product case study… and I remember my colleague once telling I can sell access to that case study in real time. Hope your day is marvelous!
December 4, 2025 at 9:45 AM
Belated Good Afternoon all. It's been quite the day indeed. Character-building! How has it treated you?
December 3, 2025 at 8:13 PM
Good morning. What a past couple of days.

Illness, toe-away-zones, so much more.

But back today!

What are you working on right now that nobody knows about?
November 30, 2025 at 4:04 PM
Patiently (and slowly) bringing my idea to life. Thing is, my gosh I need *some* sleep! Will try once more and then dive back into it all.

Insane, but a nice kind of insane. Ever experience that kind of love/hate with a project?

Good morning! How is that non-existent rising and shining coming along? Unfortunately last night, my server sought the Titanic so I couldn't share my update. Suffice it to say that by 1am, my mind started herding unicorns (aka, time to take a break!).

Gotta love the humor of ChatGPT at times.

One thing I adore about AI Art is how a single past image can yank me right back in time. I look at it and instantly remember what puzzle I was battling, or what tiny happy surprise unexpectedly popped out of the digital universe 'way over from left field... like this.

[ Pro-Winning Tip ] Your phone has an alarm which is excellent for waking you up so you don't miss that YouTube Live!

It also has the ability for you to turn OFF the sound so you don't hear your alarm. Sigh.

Always remember to Keep the Sound On for Phone Alarms.

I won Deal of the Day on Monday for me NotebookLM digital product, yay! And today its time to seriously rebrand, rebound, and recaffeinate. Not to mention, prepare for BF!

You ever get a breakthrough and immediately think "okay how do I 10x this"?

Sunday relaxation? Here I am with my Better Half, enjoying food that really should be burning a hole thru the plate. Sheer perfection!
November 16, 2025 at 7:41 PM
Today... it's hard. Spent 3 hours staring at my screen trying to "restart" my creativity from a different time. Anyone else feel like their best ideas show up at the worst times?

How do you actually get back into it?
November 15, 2025 at 6:30 PM
FACT: The coffee I brew puts hair on your chest. Good stuff! (We have the technonlogy - we can rebuild her!) That was my entire day in a chestnut shell (Yes, I found the stash!)

May your day have treated you well, and did NOT involve any slow-moving tornados carrying their security coffee cup.
November 12, 2025 at 3:17 AM
Good morning! How’s that rising and shining coming along?

Me, well heck froze over - I had 3 (count ‘em, 3!) good days (aka slept normally if you consider “normal” to be the opposite side of the word, but hey, deliverables got done!).
November 7, 2025 at 8:44 AM
Ever wake up right before tomorrow shows up and realize you neglected to hit "Post" for your T-X next launch announcement?

Yep, and they say I don't know how to have any fun. :) Sigh.

Coffee?
November 6, 2025 at 4:43 AM
I'll probably post this in entirety some time, but for the moment as my brain is a weeee bit fried, here's a coolios article about mastering time manglement and yes, Lassies Rescue Rangers *do* appear.

Good morning Creators! What's your fav way of keeping track of deliverables? My short-term memory is non-existent which often throws 56 wrenches into life.

Anywhos, submitting my latest to Muncheye and adding kittens to the launch (doesn't everyone?) :) Hope your day shines!
November 5, 2025 at 8:01 AM
Argh. Had this evening planned out and then tummy seceded from body. :( Hopefully body will improve; we shall see . Hope everyone has a great night! Nn
