Monthly Update
The title of this post is Monthly Update because I just realized that it’s been a full month since I’ve posted anything.
Let’s see… What’s happened in the last month?
The renaissance festival drew to a close. It occupied seven weekends of my life. I had a lot of fun. Met some wonderful new people. Had some great weather and some horrible weather. A couple days it rained so hard that I actually left before the festival closed for the day. Being a loner, I’ve decided that I really prefer to experience the festival alone or with just a couple friends. Hanging out with a big group every weekend is anxiety inducing for me.
In the last month I’ve had to give up on an old friend. He’s one of those friends that everything is his way or the highway. I decided since he can’t respect my feelings I’d chose the highway. I’ve experienced a great sense of relief after making the difficult decision to give up on the friendship.
My finances took a turn for the worse. Due to the faltering economy my retirement income has dropped dramtically. My income no longer covers basic expenses so I guess I’ll be going back to work. Since I have rehire status at my last place of employment I’ll probably go back to work there since it’s the easiest job to get. I’ll definitely work in a different department, though.
I am still experiencing Second Life on a daily basis. I’ve acquired my own little piece of land and commenced building. I’ve put up a nice little semi-Japanese teahouse, some extensive landscaping, built some things from scratch, and scattered many pose balls around for meditating. My main goal is to create a relaxing atomoshpere and so far it seems to be working. It’s been a lot of fun building my little corner of Second Life. Maybe one of these days I’ll post some pictures of it.
Life is good.
