The Times They Are a Changing: Part IV - What’s Next?

The Times They Are a Changing:


What’s Next?

 

For the first time in a long time, I have no idea of what is next for me once I settle in Bloomington.  Will I find another remote finance job?  Will I take the time to write the great American novel?  Will I do temp work and try to round out my other accounting skills?  Will I do something else like a podcast for overweight people trying to find ways to find long-term health at any size ?  Will I try and find a bike store and buy it?  Will I open my own Doggy Day Care?  The sky is the limit.  I have so much talent that I could do just about anything or who knows perhaps I will do it all.

 

I don’t have everything figured out and I am ok with that.  If I have learned anything during my 24 years in California it is that I will find my way.  I always do.  I am resilient and driven, and when I put my mind to something, I can accomplish it. I don’t have to have all the I’s dotted and T’s crossed, that is the great thing about how hard I have worked over the last 24 years, I have put myself in a position where I can take the time to figure out what is next.  

 

Living in Bloomington, a place where the cost of living is much less than in California, affords me the ability to take the time and do the homework to figure out what I want to do.  I have meetings with a company about franchising opportunities already.  I have so many ideas about the stories I want to tell.  So, what is next will figure itself out.  These things always do.  I firmly believe that.  

 

For now, we keep cranking away on the bike.  We keep cooking up a storm and trying to eat healthy, like an athlete would.  We put ourselves in a position to get across the finish line in Sacramento in October and we take life one day at a time.  The one thing that I know for sure is that the times they are a changing and it is all for the better.

Updates: Putting an offer in today on place on the east side of Bloomington.  I found to places I loved one in Ellettsville and one in Bloomington.  After a lot of thought, I realize it is where I want to be and I think Kona and I will be very happy there.  It might need a little TLC but we can do it. All things are trending to a 10/20 timeline.  Also, thanks to my sister Heidi I realized that Livermore to Bloomington is only a 32 hour drive.  So, the 6 day trip is more like a 4 day trip with Dog.  Maybe I had me and my good buddy Chip walking part of the way or riding bikes or something.  :)

The Escapement

Billy b at the book store…. Not the best selfie    The Escapement The Escapement is a Sci-fi novel by Lavie Tidhar.  It was the first book I read for a Sci-if book club I joined here in Bloomington.  However, I am not here to talk about the novel or review it.  I think it was worth a read, but that is something for you to decide for yourself.  No I am here to talk about the fact that I left the house and went out to a book club.   The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome or something like that.   Truth, I can’t continue to sit on my couch every night and expect for my life to be anything other than ordinary.  Unless, I am really lucky and guessing from the Mega Millions drawing last night I am not.  As someone one almost a billion dollars and I won four, so a beautiful bride and a bunch of friends aren’t just going to come knocking on my door as I watch another Superman TV show or reruns of Archer.  Also, the more I sit on

Back Home Again....

Image
  I am back home again in Indiana.  When I say I am back home again, I mean it!  I am currently living in my Mom's basement.  48 and living in Mom's basement, isn't that the dream?  Maybe if you are a serial killer.  Actually, I tease.  I always have a nice time with my Mom.  Here place is super nice and Kona and have been very welcomed guests. The Trip back across the country wasn't awful.  It had some moments that weren't so great like when we got hit by a giant cone that semi crushed.  However, overall it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  Things really happened at warp speed at the end.  I am not sure where the time went.  The move was moved up by a day because of weather issues.  So, when I picked my good buddy Chip up at the airport in Oakland on the 19th we just started the journey back across the country.   Leg 1 of the journey we went from Livermore to Reno.  So, we loaded up the Dodge Durango (which was a rental) with Kona and headed out.  It was

Settling in….

I can’t believe how long it has been since I sat down to write.  I have thought about it, but then I think what I have to say is foolish and I step away from it.  Like anyone wants to read a blog about my new nice rack.  Living back in Indiana is going great.  I think I am really close to hitting my stride.  Kona as you can see above is doing really well.  That was a picture from her last walk with her new Dog walker Basil.  Yes, her name is Basil.  Not sure if her parents were hippies, yuppies, or chefs, but I am sure it has to be one of the three.  She is no Ross, or at least not yet.  Kona seems to go back and forth between parking at her and seeing her as a new playmate.  I like Basil because she is an accounting major at IU, and being a former accounting major myself I know we are good people.  Kona has loved the season changes.  She loves snow.  That crazy dog will just go outside in it and shove her face straight in it.  She spends most of her days in the backyard.  I go out the
