Like I said in my previous post, this no longer working thing is proving more difficult than I had anticipated.
It's the quiet, and the lack of a need for urgency that seems to be the most difficult getting used to. No more emails or calls from Becky, Pat, Bud or vendors asking for my expertise. Heck they don't even call or email me just to say hello.
It's just dead, and I'm left to my own devices to figure out how to spend my time.
One thing I've come to realize is I'm spending way too much time in front of the TV and computer, so today I decided to try and avoid those two things as much as possible.
And so far I think I'm doing OK. It's just past 5 PM, and I've managed to avoid the TV completely today. I haven't been quite as successful avoiding the computer, but I'm working on it. After all, I still have bills to pay, and I have to keep up with my blog of course.
Plus my phone comes in quite handy for doing a number of things I used to do in front of the computer, i.e. facebook, emails, even posting to my blog. (I just hope the battery holds out.)
Oh well, time to get ready for dinner. Edie and I are going out to dinner with friends for Valentines Day. That should help kill another hour or two.
Then all I'll have left to do is figure out what to do later tonight, tomorrow, and the rest of my life. :)
