Conjuring the wolf…
This will just be a quick update, although I always think that will be the case…
Quit Macy’s on Friday. Just couldn’t handle the pacing around in a circle for such a little amount of money. Initially, I thought I could "use" the boredom as some sort of literary foreplay, whereby I would be throbbing with anticipation of getting home, firing up Microsoft Word, and unloading all of the mental work I had done on the book. But instead, it was this new level of boredom that was heretofore unknown to me, and just dredged me down into this listless muck that prevented anything of quality to come out of it.
So, that’s over anyway.
The plan is to dive head-first into the book, although I’m not saying anything else about that for now. I’ve cried wolf about that being near-completion long enough now. Time to just shut up about it, do the work, and just deliver already.
Other recent things…
Took a Chinese cooking class at Millennium on Sunday. I think I’m done with the cooking classes. As much as I enjoy them, I have become confident enough in my cooking ability to not need them. In fact, I’m actually debating whether to pick a cookbook (possible Millennium, maybe not), and just blog my experiences working through each recipe, end to end, with pictures and such. I think a lot of people fear trying some of these recipes and it’s unwarranted. Even when you screw up a recipe from a vegan cookbook, it still tastes good.
Might start a new gig at the end of March, we’ll see what happens. In any event, I need to have some new income stream by that point.
Planning to head to Pennsylvania in mid-March, either in advance of that new gig, or in advance of my really needing to find a serious job again. We’ll see which way all that goes…
Been doing extra cardio after Millennium and some other things that pulled me off of my eating plan, although all of the diversions were delightful. So, hopefully, I’ve overcompensated enough and there will still be weight loss this week, if not my calves are screaming for nothing.
Meeting a new guy for the first time tonight, seems too good to be true. But I’m fine with that remaining the case after we meet.
