Rest Week 4
Quite the week!
External: Lots...
1. Started the new job. Spent the week in "starting the new job" mode. Looks like that will continue into the upcoming week. And I will get paid on Friday.
2. Within a hobby community I participate in, one of the small publishers in the hobby - whom I have interacted with several times, always friendly - offered me a review copy of one of his latest books in return for an unbiased review. I had to pause on accepting his offer because of the new job. While this kind of thing is normal within our hobby, this is the first time I have ever received that kind of offer .
3. This one blew me away more than 2. I received an unexpected financial windfall, from which I now have the funds available to purchase any non-premium IML title I desire. I am almost 100% settled on what it will be, but since I plan to start it on Friday I will wait until later this week to decide and make the purchase. I will start a new journal for it as well, so this will probably be the last entry in this journal.
Internal: The end of this week felt like I had just finished a ruck march in the Army, and was able to take off the ruck and rest, without that weight on my shoulders. All of the above obviously contributed. I am not discounting other internal matters calming down or resolving, too.
