Winter Break

I'm on winter break.  It's enjoyable so far.  Kind of dull I suppose.  I'm just doing the usual things I do in my free time when I'm not working.

I'm actually still working, just not my normal 9-5 job.  A couple days ago I acquired some more shares in a company in my investment portfolio.  So that bumped my dividend salary up by about another 40 bucks a year.  40 bucks isn't much on its own.  But I just keep adding shares in companies little by little.  Investing is a marathon.  It's a very slow process.  I don't believe in get rich quick schemes.  I believe in patient investing and then letting your patience reward you down the road.

Tonight I'm working on music.  Editing some songs and mixing and mastering others and laying down new tracks too.  I've started cover art for two new songs.

I scheduled to have my HVAC system looked at in the next couple weeks.  Took care of lots of other admin things personal/house/etc. etc.

So far it's been a good break.  A good mix of taking care of the things I've had on my to-do list to take care of, and going out and hanging out with friends, or going to the gym, or yoga, or just sitting at the nearest coffee shop or whatever and enjoying working on things on my laptop.

I just like the downtime of break.  It lets me relax and recharge.  Speaking of relaxing and recharging, I'm pretty sleepy, so I'm going to head off to bed!
