Still looking for a new normal.

But not looking too hard.

Over the weekend, most of my activities didn't involve 'normal' things I would do on a recurring basis.

For instance: Getting my held mail at the post office, because it wasn't delivered and service restarted on Friday, per my request; or, doing my taxes (I got my final 1099 in the held mail); or hosting an open mic.

I wouldn't mind hosting an open mic regularly, and have in the past, but I don't see that happening.

There are, however, things that I want to do regularly, like practicing/learning guitar and upright bass; meditating; exercising; and apartment cleaning.

I haven't gotten around to these things so far in this brief retirement (I've been retired for four weeks now, and spent a week-and-a-half on vacation, doing nothing normal).

Why? No idea - except the thought that I might be kidding myself about what I really want to do; maybe I don't want to do all these things as much as I want to hang out online or watch TV.

If that's the case, I might need to change my thinking, because I'd rather be someone who spends his time doing all the things I've said I want to, and not the things I've been doing instead.

Maybe I'll start tomorrow.

Leap day thoughts.

Diet Comment

I knew once I got back to my normal, non-vacation eating habits I would quickly drop some of the weight gain, and even with Friday's excess liquor consumption, and a not totally strict weekend, The correction is nearly complete.
