feldman~*~ In my burgeoning collection of odd-jobs, I've been eschewing a chair for the accounts payable clerk gig. Instead, I stand with the computer propped higher and work that way. Unbelievable how different it is from a sitting position; I get more work done with less mental effort, I'm not exhausted when I go home or restless at bedtime, and after a week of adjustment my legs are noticeably stronger and my hamstrings have unwound like snakes in the sun.
~*~ Seriously, without any current stretching habit I'm regaining flexibility I haven't had for years.
~*~ As I was income-challenged when it came out, I've only now started watching Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows. Haven't finished it yet, as parenting duties cropped up, but even if the balance somehow sucks I'd adore it for one reason alone: in the horse riding scene the soundtrack does a musical callback to "Two Mules for Sister Sara".
~*~ I cannot explain or defend why I love "Two Mules for Sister Sara", I just do.
~*~ I'm experimenting with not having a plan in life; instead I have a few guiding notions to shape my efforts and I'm letting things fall out as they will. Which they always do, so why waste time confabulating what I want to be airtight reassuring plans that, ultimately, will have little to do with actual life as it unfolds? Bah, fuckit.
~*~ While I've been sleeping better as a result of this mental practice, it still takes me too damn long to choose a meal from a menu.
~*~ The things that I love, need and want, do as daily as feasible. The things that really aren't important will fall away. The things really are will accumulate nacre like pearls. Stop worrying over contingencies, risk vs. reward, and solving problems five steps ahead. Focus on actions, opportunities, ideas, and greasing the skids in the direction you want to go.
~*~ I should go to bed, I have an interview for another odd job tomorrow.
