Today my weight is down nicely, and I am equally as un-relieved by that as I was unconcerned by yesterday's gain.
I worked from home this morning, and again, ended up skipping breakfast when things got busy.
I am completely unconcerned about my weight right now. As long as I'm doing the right things for myself, it will take care of itself.
Daily Comment
One thing (of the thousands of things) I have to figure out about retirement (1,165 days away, and counting) is how it is going to change my relationship with music. Because, it will change a lot. There are so many things to consider: I have a nice collection of instruments - what will become of them? If I move any place other than Mexico, will I be able to take any of them with me? Will I have playing opportunities with like-minded musicians when I expatriate (it is a good possibility in some places, not so likely in others) if I can keep a bass and an amp abroad?
The main question, is how will the adventure impact my need to play? In the short run, immediately after retirement, I think the need will be suppressed by the adventure, by the challenge of making a new life in an unfamiliar environment. That is totally cool with me.
It is also my hope that the current position of playing music in my life, as all around emotional and social tonic will change in my new land: It will not be the basis of my social life, not be my main way to de-stress, not be my only way of 'blissing out'.
Just thinking out loud, here.
