Wow this is the worst Ive noticed my suspected Alzheimer's to be. I'm sitting here around lunch time and I think "didn't I make a sandwich? Or wasn't I about to?" I can feel the cheese in my mouth and look on the kitchen table and see a cup and plate and realize I made the sandwich and ate it already, but I've completely forgotten that fact.

Ran? shit I forget. Biked a couple of days ago. Was really depressed, felt pretty strong on the climbs, but then lost umph. I started to think about my old friend Kim and how she would train and train and train. She'd always come in 2nd or 3rd in a race and people would be so congratulatory of her, avoiding the fact that there had only been 3 or 4 people in her cat. She never trained hard and so never improved. This is what I'm doing now. I never train hard and just plod along. Ive increased my stamina, but if I put the hammer down then I flake really quick.

Swam yesterday and was pleased that I'd already got back to being able to do 500's and even cruise a little.

Its pissing it down with rain. Started last night and hasn't let up. They say its going to be like this for the next few days then clear again on Tuesday.

I have most of the details I needed from the guys in Taupo. Looks like they wont give me much of a break on spreading the costs of the printing and design, so Id have to spend almost all my money to get the two areas into production. Not sure I could even survive until the money came back in from the ad sales. I'm going to talk with a sales guy here in Rotorua that the guy in Taupo suggested I meet with. He might have some insight as to how and when to pitch to the market here in Rotorua. Also been ok'd for me to go down to Taupo and go out on some sales calls with the reps for the Taupo map.

Found two more job offerings for handyman/maintenance in the south of France. One is in St Tropez with a really upmarket rental housing agency, like the cost of renting the villa includes the use of the helicopter!. Kinda sounds cool. But they both wanted people immediately so I don't think I can get them. But its become rather intriguing to go work in something like this back in Europe. The logistics of what I'd do with my stuff in NZ is a little bit of a problem though.

You could just ditch it and go, my gypsy friend. Not that I'd expect you to, or would myself really, but you *could*.

Ditch what?

[warkitty.livejournal.com]

All your stuff that you're concerned what to do with if you head to France.


Again, not that I expect you to. I know I wouldn't!

Yeah Ive downsized enough I think. All that I have left is pretty important to me now. I will probably put it in storage and hope it survives, and that I will make it back.

That's neat that when you decide to look for new gigs, you ponder the entire world as a potential place to go.

Well I had been looking on gumtree for London, the French once I guess are British companys that want Brits. I feel pretty homeless. I can't legally work in NZ or Auz. I could work in the US, but the economy sounds terrible still and I'm pretty sure I could never get past immigration anyway. Chile would be cool, but I'm not digging the idea that Id be there in the winter having to work outside in all weathers. I'd love to go back to India and do a couple more tours, but haven't pushed my idea of getting famous people to go, plus sort of out of time with that. So that only leaves Europe.

It makes perfect sense when you put it that way. I still think it's neat.
