Today I went back to work. After the surgery, the cold, the gout, I must say I was delighted to go back to work. Delighted. I have plenty to do and I'm not sure I'll get it done before my assignment as general doer of whatever is left over ends. I'm looking forward to being back on regular duty and part of the regular working rotation. I will probably be offered opportunities to be a trainer in the future, but I don't think I want to be one permanently.
There were a few points during the day when I felt quite fatigued. I'm sure the fact that my sleep schedule had crept back to waking around 9am was a contributing factor. This morning I arose very blurry eyed at 5:45am. This afternoon I intentionally sat down and did keyboard work for a while so my body could rest more.
I keep tossing around the idea of getting a condo again here in Portland. Whenever I have a semi-stable income I start thinking about this. Right now a few factors argue persuasively toward staying a renter. The biggest one is housing prices. Housing prices nationwide have been on a feeding frenzy for over a decade now. Regional prices have topped national averages by going back for seconds. Right now prices resemble Weird Al's look for the filming of his video "Fat." Add to that the fact that even stable income isn't all that stable. I fear any financial 30 year commitment. So I really know I should just hold out and save more money. The problem is I'm impatient and I don't really save all that well.
