My Year of the Life of Leisure

I left my job, left my apartment, sold most everything in that apartment and embarked on a year of travelling and leisure. I am working on writing a couple of books. This might be one of them... But then, my chief pursuit is leisure, so who knows exactly what will happen.

Pain and happiness

Mostly, yesterday was a rather painful day for me. There was much difficulty in finding a new place to stay (until Monday). Very much difficulty. I cried in anger and frustration. Eventually, it worked out and we are now in a new apartment for the rest of our time here.

Then, met a friend of mine that's lived in London for several months now (the lucky guy's job transferred him here -- que horrible!). We'd met once in Seattle and have emailed occasionally since then. We had a really nice time and we have plans to meet again on Thursday. This made for a very nice end to a rather difficult day (by the time money had exchanged hands, contracts signed, keys given and a walk-through of the flat were done, I had under an hour to shower, get ready and get to where we were meeting -- at 8pm...).

I was saying to my friend that I'm staying with, that you have to have badness to appreciate goodness. He was saying something like all-goodness-all-the-time was good. I disagreed.

All Goodness All the Time: not very interesting and rather bland.
