Just a Fool

Unemployment does have a few benefits, like enjoying several off-peak ski days this season, which has made for wide-open slopes and clear highways.

I have recently had a few promising interviews which have made me realize that my flexible days might be dwindling! As ready as I am to start the next chapter of my life, it's hard to imagine going back to work 40+ hours a week and limiting my ability to be alternatively productive. The things I am worried about fitting into a full work week include regular workouts, movie dates with Jay, Thursday trips up to Loveland or Winter Park, house maintenance, and quality time with Bosco. It also will challenge the amount of time I will be able to invest in supporting the RMCMA and the Humane Society.

Will I be able to find something to fill my time that is meaningful enough to my world that it's worth these sacrifices? Or am I crazy to think that I could achieve a work-life balance that satisfies more than one aspect of my aspirational goals?
