Standing in the Spaces of Waiting

 Sc/een.e from a Balcony 2-13-25 6:30am

I was struck by the luminous vibe this morning and chose to grab a photo earlier than usual. The weather recently has been predicting rain eventually turning to snow, so I'll have to wait and see what comes of that. It's 44 degrees here this morning. 

So taxing .....

For someone in 'retirement' I have a lot of stuff on my to do list. Taxes, for one. My pension 1099 finally arrived completing the 2 total documents I need to process my tax return. This year I decided (for the first time ever) to have a tax professional do them. I made an appointment for this afternoon at noon, and I hope that this till be a 'one and done' situation. As an independent contractor, I paid throughout the year, but something tells me to be ready to find out it wasn't enough. Hrumph! All I want at this point is to know what my bottom line is, so I can see what's left to rely on as I consider my economic future. 

....... and student loan matters

Once the taxes are taken care of, the next lion's mouth to stick my head in, is the issue of continuing to have my loans reduced to reflect the new retirement income. All this stuff requires hours sitting on hold waiting in the queue for the 'next available representative'. to be available. ZZZZZZzzzzzzzz.....

Aside from that, I initially had been invited to start the concierge position tomorrow, but my drug test results have not been reported yet, so, hopefully sometime today I'll find out ir and when I'll have my first day.

Standing in the Spaces of Waiting

It's stressful to not know how to create structure for my days going forward. I'm trying to lean into the lack of busy-ness to keep me occupied, and accept that life is now taking on a new meaning, which has yet to be revealed while standing in the spaces of waiting....... .
