So, one month in… Status?
Well, It’s been one month since I voluntarily left the ranks of the employed. Some said I was crazy. Some said I’d get bored in a week and go mad.
I’m pleased to report that I’m healthy, happy, and free of regret.
What have I been doing? Well… I’ve been kayaking, tweeting (as “newsundies”), producing NewsUndies shows, noodling in the studio, working on my house, hanging out with my GF… It’s been good.
I’ve actually been living much more cheaply than I was while I was working. I’m losing some weight, and feeling a lot better about myself and my situation.
Still smoke-free (six months, now). That was a concern, given how everyone said I’d get bored and go mad.
The only thing that could be better from my perspective is the weather… but I’m guessing that’ll improve as the season wears on.
As it is, I’ve kayaked close to 50 miles since leaving the working world, and almost couldn’t be happier. Of course, hitting the PowerBall, and never having to return to the “working world” would be cause for celebration… but … so far, no complaints
So, I’ll be continuing with NewsUndies (although I’ll be taking a couple weeks off from even THAT, this summer), which you can see at www.newsundies.com, and you can follow me on Twitter.
Whee!
