No illumination for me yet but in the past week or so I've begun to feel a little better in some ways. This isn't turning out to be a quick rebound at all!

I took early retirement three years ago and, while I was really looking forward to it, the first few days were really strange. It's like having too much choice - I work best withe some structure and deadlines. However, I found my way pretty quickly...am sure someone as intelligent and interesting as you will also!<br /><br />Am trying this again. Last time I tried to comment OpenId didn't work on your blog (and one other person's).

Today felt better, in part because I had to go to the shop to turn over the keys and I was struck afresh by what terrible condition the building is in. I'm glad I'm out of there. Also, this afternoon, I spent some time reading in the gigantic park across the street from my apartment and that did very good things for my soul.<br /><br />verbivore: Unfortunately, I am strictly uni-lingual, so translation won't be a professional option. However, I think a few months off will make working in front of a computer seem much less terrible, possibly even fun if it's the right job.<br /><br />But yes, I am going to read a lot of books between now and 2011!Bookphiliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05155882653615842141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972764383963459152.post-62194296407238668622010-09-30T19:57:51.307-04:002010-09-30T19:57:51.307-04:00I love this post, and glimpse into your life. I lo...I love this post, and glimpse into your life. I love the outpouring of your heart, which so echoes mine. I love these two lines in your qualifications: really, really good at reading; kind of hate working with the public. Wonderful! I empathize completely! You will find the perfect thing~I have confidence in you. In the meantime, how fun to sort our your <br />Japanese literature. Oh, and congratulations for dropping that class with the idiot professor! We've done enough time with those!
