Shaving Woes, Tech Trials, and November Reflections: Sobriety Journey Day 187

This is the video that went along with the audio podcast for this episode that was recorded on 11/29/23. I’m testing Substack’s video setup.

Hey, folks! It's day 187 of my sobriety journey, and it's November 29th, almost wrapping up this month. I'm gearing up for December. Remember when I talked about having morning coffee with Donovan? Turns out, the equipment I need is pretty expensive and wouldn't arrive until late December, so I decided to hold off on that. Also, I've been dealing with this beard situation. No matter how much I try, I can't find products that soften my beard hair, and I have this habit of subconsciously picking at it, causing irritation. Tried various products from Harry's, but no luck. Contouring the beard is also a hassle; one wrong move and it's back to square one. I usually shave once a week and don't mind having a shadow by Friday. Recording this one on my iPhone using Epic Cam Pro for the video, as my continuity camera wasn't cooperating today. Thinking about video editing software—DaVinci and Final Cut. Both have their pros and cons, but a $300 investment for Final Cut doesn't seem justified at the moment. Recently ordered a new Apple Watch, as my current one's battery isn't holding up well. Apple's terms for purchasing phones without a carrier are restrictive, so I'm contemplating options. November's almost over, hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! We've still got leftover dressing, yes, it's dressing, not stuffing. Alright, talk to you later! [Yes, show notes were generated by ChatGPT from a transcript created using Whisper]
