I wrote in my other blog over the weekend that I felt like I was living a life of luxury (the luxury of time off with money, where I could do whatever I want). Today, I feel more like the “idle rich,” in that I’ve been very idle, and though I’m currently “rich,” if I don’t start to do something, I’ll soon not be so rich.
This week’s appointments are a job interview on Tuesday, and meeting a friend for lunch on Wednesday. I hope to simply get through the job interview – I have no desire to work right now, and with the recent sale of all those stock options, and the tax implications that come with it, I really shouldn’t work for the entire year – I earned my annual wage in a single day last Thursday! The lunch on Wednesday will be fun, but I also know that it will feel disruptive to my schedule, which is absolutely ludicrous because I have no schedule – I’m not doing anything! It’s disruptive only because a scheduled item, where I have to be at a chosen location at a given time, means that I have to watch a clock.
On Saturday, the leaders of our church met. It was a good meeting; all of us got on the same page. This was important because we had to present “pastor search 2.0” to our congregation on Sunday. With unified leadership in place, the vocal minority in our church (the dissenters) had no leg to stand on and were kept quiet. Some may even have changed their views. It was a good weekend for our church – a time of healing.
Well, I did install a bunch of software on my new laptop, and I did do a solid three hours of stock research – working towards a group of ~20 stocks to put my cash into. I finished off my day by grocery shopping.
My dog was barking a lot today. I’m afraid that my family will come home some day to discover that the dog is deceased. He really annoys me.
Day 29 mood: It was an easy day. It was a dull day. Anyone want a dog?
