Oh, SPG, seems you're taking up this job loss challenge in good form. I know there's also other feelings that arrive with involuntary changes in income and status. Stills, small steps, in series, add up.
Delightful, like your framing goals as stuff you want to learn. Quiet as it's kept, I think tips and tutorials are one of the most popular genres on the interwebs. Same pattern happened when printing presses spread across Europe: people bought many guides and manuals and "keep the presses running."
Me? I graced myself with an idle day. The weather was a crisp 50° more or less. Went searching for stinging nettles but they are not up just yet. Stood talking with a neighbor I hadn't seen in maybe a couple of years. Then bought some niche miche bread at one store and duck eggs and heavy cream at another.
My steps are:
Keep reading blogs and articles on the Sisyphus Myth. I asked ChatGPT for 10 blogs or articles written around this myth, and I am reading my way through them. Why this? I see my role at my condo as the Lonely Most Caring Active Owner as close to Sisyphus. It's yucky work, unending, and thankless. AI helped me write reflections on this theme which I put in my Steinbeck Warmups collection on this site.
Maintain my research into Edinburgh. Just finished reading The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. On track to get the DVD someplace and watch that soon.
Finish my partnership 1065 tax form in the next several days and mail it off certified mail before March 15. [A few years ago, I mailed it 2 or 3 days late and the IRS wanted to charge us $450. I begged clemency, granted, and her parting advice was mail it cert. mail. So we do. Under protest.]
Tomorrow night I'm out to hear some Jazz and catch some art during the monthly Art Walk.
