Shortly after my last post, 6 months ago, I went back to work. I know, I know, why on earth did I do that? After all the wonderful things I said about how much I loved being retired? Well, an old boss that I really like and respect called and asked me to help out with a project in California. It was supposed to be a very short time frame but somehow kept getting longer. I now have one week left. I can't wait to be done. It has been great fun, I learned a lot and made new friends, BUT the traveling has simply worn me out.
After being somewhat immersed in my art, I've done absolutely none in months. I was in the best shape I had been in my entire life (almost a six pack tummy - no kidding - at my age!). Since going back to work, I've gained 15 pounds and gotten doughy. There are free snacks and free Coke everywhere in the office I work in and of course being on the road and working long hours makes it difficult to always eat the best. I tried, but obviously not hard enough.
So you will again hear nothing from me for at least another week while I finish up this project. After that, who knows. I make no promises.
