We are partly through my first week... of Freedom! And Time! How is it? It's quite nice. I want more of it. I am continually reveling in the time I have, and grateful for it.
How much goofing off am I doing? A respectable amount. I'm still getting up early to meditate and run, and I am mostly working on things, though 'work' is a relative term, as some of that included researching to find my perfect (within reasonable prices) desk, security keys for 2-factor authentication, and plans for switching cell phone carriers. Which has just changed to switching my phone number, after noticing that I've been grandfathered into an older plan for Verizon that is super cheap because neither me or my mom uses much data. So, surprisingly, I wouldn't actually save that much money.
In any case, part of the inspiration for this was something someone said to Suzannah, about how they would never ever change their cell phone number, because there are so many things linked to that cell phone number, it would take forever to change them all. I happen to have a pretty awful number, in terms of being memorable, but I got a really good one, with google voice, and apparently I can transfer that google voice number, for a small fee. The biggest challenge will be the interim period, where I'm switching over all my numbers and contacts. BUT, if I can transfer my old verizon number to my google voice account, I can just have that forward to my new snazzy phone number. It's going to be a fair bit of time, getting it switched, but now's the time to do it, and it will make everybody happier, for me to have a more memorable number. Emergency calls and all that. And then never change my phone number again, as the person said.
I've finally just about caught up with time sensitive things that I needed to get done as fast as possible, so it's not time to settle into some of the important but longer-form work that needs to get done for moving. First cleaning up the house, then working through my year or so of neglected inbox, and then starting to pack things up. It's actually going to be a rather busy summer, with the move, so I don't see myself getting a real large open stretch until the end of summer, September-ish. Maybe later, if we choose then to go on a honeymoon :D
OK, off to work. Or rather, it looks like it's about lunch time. I'm trying to eat through the oversupply of food Suzannah left me with (never go shopping when you're hungry) so I have to actually cook.
Until next time!
