The Get Motivated! seminar was a fun getaway that broke up a tough week at the office. Efforts to reconcile a bunch of figures with each other was hitting a brick wall. During the two days I was gone, Jennifer handled the action smoothly, and my refreshed mind helped to make some decisions to close out the week.
The mini-vacation was unfortunately a snack fest. Got back on track once we got home. But we'll have to keep a close eye on the scale the next week since it's topping out at record levels. Not a problem, as long as it's muscle mass...
After making such progress at work, this Labor Day weekend has seemed unusually long and relaxing. A couple evening walks with Dena. A healthy round of b-ball on Saturday and a successful trip to the weight room, a good comeback from some knee discomfort that had fired up a week earlier. Caught up on blogging even though my new computer remained in the shop, and the old computer suddenly refused to pull up the internet (thanks for sharing, D!). Then magically the internet came back to life Sunday night, letting me make some deep headway into some condominium association work. Cleared out a backlog of laundry. Spent three gorgeous days poolside reading about my newest interest... the philosophy of Warren Buffett, America's wildly successful investor, and inspiration for an earlier retirement. If there's one thing the Get Motivated! seminar generated, it's a spark that might lead us to purchase our first individual stocks.
Thanks to a rally, 4 of 5 fantasy baseball teams are in first place with a month to go. September is about the most exciting month of the baseball season, as a dozen or so teams scramble for the playoffs, and this fall looks to be no exception. College football launched Alabama toward its national title defense in convincing 45-point victorious fashion. Meanwhile, with the NFL season kicking off this week, I've stocked up on fantasy mags and am prepping for another run at it.
And now a short work week ahead, and the prospect of continued late summer weather.
