previous enthusiasm aside…

feels like a miracle

June 23rd, 2010 · No Comments · my world, reference

Today I feel like I’ve been offered a miracle for the “aging” symptoms I’ve been feeling for months!

1. Why did I want it? Why liquify my fruits & veg?

the rear view mirror

May 16th, 2010 · No Comments · my world, whatever

Yup, retirement is certainly proving to be a great b’day present to self. I’m enjoying it enormously. Have pretty much gotten over the “I’m bored, what should I do?” stage already. Ian, my partner, calls that the decompression stage of retiring. (SCUBA diver talk.)
