Warmer Days Ahead

It's just nearly March.  Today wasn't bad.  I actually sat outside and soaked in some of the warmth... I suppose that's a relative term.  To the people that live by the equator they would be like warm?  What are you talking about???

It's the same as talking about a hundred thousand dollars to a college student versus Warren Buffet.  Warren will be like what are you talking about???

The college student will be like WHOA SON!!!

It's all relative.  One person's trash is another's treasure.  Kind of like dating.  Someone's ex is someone's new love.  Like the girl I'll one day marry... She'll have been some other guy's "what are you talking about???".  Meanwhile I'll be like WHOA SON!  This girl is what's up!

It's all relative.

What was I talking about?  Oh yeah, warmer days.  So the thing about March is... You know it's almost warm days.  And it's cool because after having all these months of cold air... It makes you appreciate it.  It's like when you haven't kissed someone in FOREVER and then... You kiss someone.  It's like huh... Well now, I'd forgotten how that feels.

Did I kiss someone recently?  I'm not one to kiss and tell.

Let's just say it's warm outside... Or warmer than it has been.

So let's see... It's spring break at work.  I get one day off... tomorrow.  The students have a whole week off.  I'll take an extra day though.  Works for me, to not have work.

I think tomorrow I'm going to get out and do a few little yard work things.  This probably could wait until the beginning of April.  But, I'll at least do a couple things for an hour maybe.  It's supposed to be rainy in the morning but the afternoon looks decent.  High of 57, partly cloudy.  Or... If I decide to go with the glass half full outlook, partly sunny.  I'm an optimist.  I almost wrote optometrist.  I'm not an optometrist.

Sounds like a romantic comedy...

They never saw eye to eye... He's an optimist, she's an optometrist... He viewed the world through rose colored glasses, she viewed the world through prescription glasses.

The Optimist and The Optometrist... Coming to theaters this Summer.

I really have a whole to-do list for things around the house, I could stay home for a week and not run out of things to do.  My next project is to make the room next to mine into a little music studio space/workspace.  I also need a couch for the living room and a new fridge and washer and dryer.  Waiting until all is settled with the money stuff for that.  I don't like to count chickens until I've got lots of hatched chicks.  Right now I have some chicks hatched but... It's only a handful out of all the chicks on the way from the hatchery.

Then I'll order the hot tub for the back porch.  Kidding.  I'm not going to buy a hot tub.  Too much maintenance.  Maybe if I publish a number one selling book or write a number one hit single.

I mean I COULD put a hot tub in if I wanted.  But I'm not going to.  I need a music room first with a drum set.  And a space to write and work on creative things.  And focus on stock trading research.

Splurging on hot tubs will come after I've made it and become established.  You have to be established first.  Once I'm established... Hello hot tub.

Established in what?  I have no idea.  Does it really matter?  Ask any one that's established.  They will tell you.  You just have to be established in something.

I feel like if you have business cards that say "professional" that you can hand out to people.  That's when you know you're golden and then you can have a hot tub in the back.

"So what exactly is it you do?"
"Says right there... Professional established hot tuber.  I go around and sit in hot tubs and show people the exact way to sit in the hot tub and look like a million bucks doing it."
"Oh snap!  I've been looking all over for someone like you.  What's your availability this week?"
"I have an opening this Thursday."
"Perfect.  How's 2pm?"
"I'll pencil you in."

Where was I?

Oh yeah, house things... Yeah, I could just stay home for a week and still have plenty to do. Work on this newest song I've been working on, work on books (I'm soooo close to finishing my first book), work on stock trade research (I sold two stocks last week so I need to replace those with two more to bring me back up to 40 holdings), work on my taxes... I really usually don't start those until mid March because I'm always waiting for updated/adjusted investment tax stuff... I might have to actually hire an accountant.  My taxes are starting to get kind of complicated.  I guess that's how it goes as we age... Taxes just keep getting more and more complicated.

Life gets more complicated.  You know how it goes.

Which is why we all need a hot tub to just sit in and relax at the end of the night.

Story = true.

So yep.  I'm excited for the warmer weather ahead.  Definitely going to have to start running again in Valley Forge Park.  I haven't been there since the Fall.  Maybe head out to Longwood Gardens too.  I haven't had a chance to go there since the Fall either.  Probably have a few more cold days yet to come... but those days are on their way out with the change of the season.  Woo Spring!
