07/09/02 - I sleep when I can. I really enjoy my flexible lifestyle. I don�t have the get up in the morning, go to work, come home, fix dinner, watch TV, go to bed lifestyle. I find that a tad boring though it�s perfectly fine for most. If I get a four or five hour stretch of sleep, followed sometime later with a nap, I�m good to go. I catch up a little on the weekends. But I sure like knowing I can do some early morning stuff, if I have the energy. Or get up early and have an enjoyable afternoon, something different every day. Well, I�m committed to my moving tasks right now. The last couple of mornings, on my way home from work, I have driven around a couple of areas that I think I would like to move to. I went up and down, looking for signs. Actually, I saw two houses with �For Rent� signs in front. One was a two bedroom, I don�t know how big the other one was. They weren�t too bad, from the front anyway. I have phone numbers, next step is to call them, I guess. I�m probably going to do more scouting this week. That was more productive than I thought it would be, and it was fun. It�s calm and peaceful in the morning, showing all the signs of being a great day. And, it�s cooler in the morning. We�re having a heat wave here. I should have figured that I would end up dealing with all this yard and garage cleaning during the hottest week of the summer. It�s 100+ today. Yesterday it was in the 90�s and will stay like that for at least the next 10 days, according to the weather reports anyway. I wiped myself out yesterday. I did some heavy work during the hot part of the day. I never turned the A/C on, it�s just a small room cooler and very noisy. So, the heat got to me. I can�t do anything about the weather. This is actually weather I like ... hot. Just watch, it will probably rain on the day that I move. So, I spent last night at work coming up with a better plan. I worked inside today. And I turned on the A/C when the heat built up. My mind stayed clear and I was able to more balance my energy. Hmmm, balance ... think that was something I listed as a goal at the beginning of the year. So, more awareness, very helpful. I think I�ve hit the nail on the head with that balance thing, for me anyway. I�ve been feeling unbalanced a lot lately. Too much of one thing, not enough of another. I�ve actually found myself starved for conversation lately. This starvation was making me feel very uncomfortable. I had only started to ponder this uncomfortableness when it hit me what was bothering me, hit me in a slightly surprising way. I ran into someone I didn�t know too well and we had a chat. I had this light bulb moment while we were chatting, I was having fun, really enjoying it. So yeah, what do you do when you�re starved. I tend to over do, over eat, whatever. I found myself chatting with everyone, searching for chats, feeling like I couldn�t get enough. Then I became a bit exhausted. I think I�ve found the balance now. And, I�m at a good place ... just where I want to be. |
