The last two weeks have been a combination of cold weather and a bad cold for me. The temperature has dipped to 17 F (-8 C) on some mornings. This is well below normal and I'm finding it uncomfortable. However it's better than the two feet of snow that fell in the northern US. This is making me think about next January. I'd like to be in Asia for two months and avoid the cold. I'm thinking about Da Nang aka "The Miami of Asia", as a place to go. I could fly into Singapore through Qatar, with a four day layover in Doha on the way. I haven't flown through the Middle East before. I love planning these trips.
No job has come through for me yet. Some phone calls on opportunities that didn't pan out, but that's it. I need to do something. I can't watch TV or TikTok for hours a day. An even better option than an interim job is a remote job, or my own business. A trip to the grocery store is my excitement right now. It seems like time is going by in a blur and I don't like that.
Near term, I am planning a few short trips. Yucatan Mexico in March, NYC in May, and Toronto in June. These will be a good distraction for me.
I'm not there on happiness. I like the gratitude journals. I know I have a lot to be thankful for, but I don't feel like I'm there. Maybe it's a predisposition. Maybe I'm trying to figure something out that no one figures out.
Here in central Virginia, it hasn't gotten above freezing for over a week. We are supposed to get more snow this weekend, but the weather forecast is all over the place. There's a coastal nor'easter developing, but we are too far inland to get the snow totals and winds that they are predicting. Sorry about your cold. Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteDenver only had three days below freezing. Hope you're back to 100%
ReplyDeleteI wish I was in some place warmer too. I like to see the snow fall and the cold for a bit but now I am ready to move on to warmth. Travel sounds nice and something to look forward to. I look forward to most but not all of my trips out (despite the cold). Remote work is nice especially when the weather outside isn't. Take care!
ReplyDeleteHey, hope you are feeling better!
