My life is in a hurry up and wait stage.
I'm waiting on my debit card for my personal bank account to come. It seems I can't deposit my HST credit cheque into it until it's here.
I have a meeting later today about my self-employment related account, so at least I'll hopefully be able to get some other things moving. I have to go to a different branch because the one I was supposed to go to is having server issues today. Of course. This is my life right now. At least the other location isn't far.
When I started writing this post last night, I was also waiting to hear the next step for work. A couple of days ago, I had been told there was some sort of form to fill out, but I hadn't received it yet. This morning I found the link to put in my details for a background check. It was a little longer for me to fill out because I have several post-secondary papers and because I moved around a lot during the year I was going through a divorce. Past applications for security clearance taught me to keep that info handy at least or it would've been really painful.
I'm feeling better now that something is moving along.
I know when I start taekwondo, I'm going to be frustrated. It will be hard because I haven't done that kind of exercise in a long time. I may be in somewhat decent shape for iaido, but I could be better for that too. Taekwondo will use different muscles. Eventually, I expect the two together will make me better at both. I sit a lot as a writer and office worker, so my hip flexors get tight and my glutes are weak. This is bad for posture, which is a major thing in iaido. Those issues will be made better with taekwondo.
Anyway, I may be waiting on a number of things, but the weather is cool enough that I can proceed with some painting in my living room, so I think I'll be working on that later today. It'll be nice to have that done before I go back to work full-time.
When I'm not worried about food, I'll make myself a little zen garden area on my balcony. It wasn't a great place for a vegetable garden, but I think a nice little meditative area would be great for reading and relaxing. I might need a plan for windy days or anything I put there will be broken. I'm really interested in container succulents, but we'll see what I can keep out there in the summer. I may have to bring things in during the winter.
Part of me feels like things are moving too slowly, but maybe they're actually moving at the exact speed they should to let me get all areas of my life in place for what's coming next.
Tomorrow is my birthday. I celebrated with friends on Saturday. We had a lovely sake tasting adventure where we enjoyed K-Pop videos and fun conversations about anything and everything. I haven't figured out what I want to do on my actual birthday, but perhaps it'll be really low-key or maybe I'll visit a DJ friend at work since I always say I will and never make it over that way.
