Today is one of those restless days where I am perfectly comfortable but looking at the squall of snow coming down outside reveals to me this restlessness.
I feel achy, like sitting here one more minute is demanding all my bodies energy to maintain. I want to get up and walk around, anywhere but here, or go home and sleep.
Yet I am comfortable too, a small heater by my feet is fighting off the chill in the air from the cold outside. I've got fresh Earl Grey tea at my finger-tips and a Chia seed parfait in the fridge for later.
We're going up to a social gathering at a bar later today. Feels like a television cliche, meeting up at a bar to unwind with other people. I don't know most of these people but this is a chance to say hello to Jussi. My friend Jussi has been back in town for something like 5 months now and I've yet to see him. He went out to Thailand to try and make a go at owning his own dive-shop but it didn't work out. The people he bought it from didn't disclose the state of disrepair that the shop was in and it'll take a lot of capital to get it into working order. That and an increase in costs for boat rentals made the venture a no-go.
Looking outside the window of this voluntary prison called "work" up to the condominiums up on the sandy hillside I think about all the mansions and manors that have fallen when nature floods the soil and reclaims the earth that they stood upon. Is that a possible fate for those condos? People pay a lot of money to live up there. I wonder what that's like, living on top.
As far as I am concerned the best I've ever had it is now with a steady stream of income and a home I'm buying. 5 years ago I had hardly any capital, though I was lucky enough to not be in debt. It's probably incompatible with my ultimate goal of being completely debt free but there is a part of me that would like a nice big house, ideally with a bit of acreage with trees and a little stream nearby. Wouldn't that be the life?
Back to reality I'm just going to settle back into my chair, put my feet up on the little foot hammock under my desk and get back to work. Glad I'm not out freezing in that windy squall.
