Day of 2025-07-04

I literally ran out the heat this morning by getting up early and squeezing in my jog before the sun turned everything into a furnace. It felt good to move while the air was still fresh, knowing the temperature would be unbearable just a few hours later. After the run, I stopped by the garden center and picked up some new seedlings I’ve been meaning to plant. Bringing them home felt like a nice reward for getting out of bed early and sticking to my routine. It’s always satisfying to start the day with both exercise and something tangible to look forward to, like tending to the garden later.

Throughout the day, I kept an eye on the markets and did a few small trades with $HBD, just enough to stay active without overcommitting. The price swings have been unpredictable, but moving in and out carefully has helped me smooth things out a bit. Even these little trades feel worthwhile, especially when the broader market seems to be in constant flux. It’s a good reminder that consistency can make a difference over time, even when it feels like you’re only making tiny steps. I’m planning to keep the same approach for now—steady, measured moves instead of chasing every spike.
