July 15th and 365 day, 10 year Bio

 Today is the first day of the rest of my life and I am doing something slightly differently than usual:

I'm gathering all three of my five year journals, some of which will be empty for some years, as I had no more journal between 2020 and 2022.  And I'm using them to make notes of what I did over the last decade or so.

I started with this tri-color Washi tape:

 3 Five year Journals

What is a five year journal? It's any log you keep where each page represents one day of the year, and that page is split up into five equal sections so that each section is another year. There are usually about five lines per year.

Journal 3:
2023: Saturday Wrote newsletter & Bylaws agenda, found my journal Period Started, Humble Potato, K&E chopped sandwich.

Here are some notes about the cumulative effect of reading about July 15 through a decade of notes... I know that I'm inconsistent, where some years I kept track of the day of the week or how well I slept, and I tend to keep names as initials instead of full names for confidentiality sake. At this point I don't recall much of those days at all. I'm wondering if I'll find what I'm looking for. I guess I'm tracking a couple of special occasions and I wanted some perspective on how they fit into my life.
