Even though many tell me the being depressed is part of the process of transitioning from full-time work to being retired, yesterday was the second day of that misery for me. Yes, there were other factors such as suddenly finding out the I needed a new roof (like, why could this not have happened when I worked full-time???) plus the disassociation that goes along with moving to a completely new location. A new location that although gay tolerant it is not bursting with things for a gay man to do.
One of the thoughts that quietly entered my mind (thank you Universe) was that I could not move forward until all of my unpacking was completed. I then tackled that project with gusto and by late afternoon...outside of the two boxes of Mom's china, I was done. The empty boxes flattened and into the dumpster, the packing material into the dumpster, and a plan put together for today's finalizing of that project...were all part of yesterday. Then I did the weekly wash, binge watched the TV series "Bosch", and finally gave myself some downtime around 8pm. I read a great book until 10pm and went to bed.
I slept thru the night never waking once...and woke to this beautiful morning (picture above). Today I am working on my resume...I want part-time work.
E'nuff!
