The First Day

In many ways, this is the First Day of the Rest of My Life. I just got back from a ten day trip to Hawaii with part of my poly pod, which was the last of four trips I intended to take after quitting my corporate job. While I've done a small amount of work to transition into my new career as a mobile application programmer, mainly by learning about Gamesalad, I now no longer have the excuse of an upcoming trip to delay my efforts. Also, after being inspired by sustainable living seen in Hawaii intentional communities, I'm finally going to start eating only what I grow in the yard once a month. If I don't have anything grown or stored, I don't eat. I need to figure out some guidelines, like whether or not it's ok to use spices, cooking oils, etc, during those days. One thing I'm considering is only using those items I can buy with money I make selling things I've grown or made. I'll be starting on January 1st, 2011.

Right now I'm working on getting my Hawaii picture processed and online so I can tell the story of our amazing trip there.

I got up deliberately late at 5:30 PM today, because I was catching up on about 10 days of little or no REM sleep. I dreamed like crazy!
