I am so happy.
It is not my intention to do a weekly update with what's happening on the job front -- I have plenty of other things to write about -- but I am so happy!
I knew I was not happy with my job, but based on the rebound in good feelings, it was worse than I realized.
It almost feels wrong, you know... so glad to be not working, one of those lazy entitled people the liberals think we should support...
Well, I do think it should be possible for people to enjoy their work, or get sufficient compensation that it makes up for not enjoying their work.
I also understand that a big part of my being able to enjoy this is that I can pay the bills for a few months without anything else happening, which is really important. I am aware of a ticking clock.
However, there is something else that is helping.
I have very ambitious plans for things I want to get done each day and week. While I have been getting some of them done, it is never all of them.
I was initially discouraged by that, except that I can see that I am making progress.
What really helped was writing the post for the Sunday blog.

It was about scripture study, but in writing it I realized that there were things that I had once wanted to do that I did not think would be possible, and yet I am working my way through. It took time and sometimes false starts and starting over, but the progress is real.
I have mentioned catching up on e-mail. From over 500 I am currently at 86, and having good experiences going through them.
I am getting somewhere.
It is possible that I set unrealistic expectations for myself, but they are not wild fantasies either; they just require more time than I initially think they well.
I can deal with that.
Lots of stuff to do though, so getting back to it.
