RM6f9's Journal: How's Life?

How's life? For me, pretty darn good at the moment: My angel and I celebrated 12 years of wedded bliss this weekend, went to Emerald Downs and watched the horses run - due to weather the crowds weren't too bad, the last race the rain had stopped, we got to stand right next to the rail, only eight feet from the starting gate... Her eldest and his wife gave us a 30+ gallon aquarium, kit, 7 African Cichlids and a Placostomus...
          Finished a drawing that'd been giving me fits: with benign essential tremors, I had been unable to get into the visual arts at all until I discovered digital: As it is, the works (due to my taking so long to learn the programs) take too long to be anything more than a hobby...
          The piece I did finish will be useful as part of the fund-raising efforts for our (Darla and my) non-profit foundation: Once our board accepts their nominations, we'll be filing all the paperwork, then I'll be able to devote a JE to what we're doing and planning on doing...
          Still employed, although being a long-term temp feels less secure than I'd like, it's not a difficult job in terms of physical labor or intellectual capacity, but it most definitely *is* challenging in terms of dealing with people...
          Back-shelved my book project in favor of yard-work during the warmer months - The goal is to get this property dealt with this year so that future years are "maintenance only" until we're ready for our last planned move...
          Bit off more than I could chew with reading: Having read several NLP books, I had put Mssr.s Bandler and Grinders' books about Ericksonian Hypnosis on my birthday wish list - now I have to go back and re-read "The Structure of Magic" I & II - odd coincidence, a TV show, "Mind Control with Derren Brown" came out shortly after I got the Ericksonian book - seeing the principles described in the book put into practice on un-suspecting individuals is somewhat unsettling...
          Unless I win the lottery or something else equally unlikely, retirement is now approximately 5 years, ten months away...
          How's life? Pretty darn good, thank you!
          How's yours?

Pretty Good!

I'm just on my 12th with my wife, too.

Congrats!

I read that as "I'm just on my 12th wife, too." and I thought "That's a lot of learning experiences."

As for life: busy and axhausting.

Busy...

But overall good. We just celebrated our 6th year together, 4th married;-)
