... which I guess is good. I think being occupied without too much stress is the ideal state.
So I seem to be succeeding at achieving a good eating/fitness balance. I'm currently in much better form than I had been at Thanksgiving, which was really my low point. Admittedly, I was eating too much junk and being sedentary in general. So shining a light on those two areas has helped a lot, both physically and mentally. My strength, endurance, memory, and general state of mind have improved markedly. The level of nutrition I'm getting is obviously paying off, and I am treating myself too.
The accounting course is a bit more challenging that I had initially expected, but I'm getting through it. Still not sure where it will take me, but at least I'm pushing myself to do something.
The podcasting is a lot of fun, but I think we're ahead of our time in terms of general acceptance of the medium. Doing a weekly show is taking a bit more of my time than I'd like, so I think we may naturally gravitate back to a biweekly show which works well.
I've decided to attend the Green Party's National Convention, being held in Pictou over the last weekend in February. The lineup of speakers seems interesting, and it's not an excessive amount of money, so I figured what the hell. I'm not the world's biggest Greenie by far, but many of their policy positions still make a lot of sense to me.
I'm also excited to be attending the Men's World Curling Championships, being held in Moncton the first week of April. I won a double event pass from a local radio station when they were raising money for Christmas Daddies. It's the perfect gift for me - not to mention that the prize is valued at close to $800.
Valentine's Day also happens to be Convocation Day for my lovely wife, who is a newly minted CA . I'm thankful that we're going to the Halifax event - it looks like a class act. Luckily, I was able to take advantage of a 2-for-1 suit sale to help me look the part. And I can't wait to see what Betty Ruben picked out for her to wear... |
