tranquil

Physical - rigorous running up and down stairs exercise or just running, if no stairs are found.

Emotional - Watch a movie daily.

Mental - Solve puzzles from ProjectEuler and continue learning Scheme.

Spiritual - How should I go about entering this room? Pray? I think I’ll pass and instead chalk up a plan for my future charity activities, albeit not everyday.

Social - At this point of my situation and sanity, I do not think I can resurrect my social life.

Financial - This, I need to get out of Boston and go and work an odd job. As fast I can find a job, I am leaving Boston. :( I will miss Boston.

A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband was not in their bed.

She puts on her dressing gown and goes downstairs to look for him.

She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a hot cup of coffee in front of him. He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall.

She watches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his coffee.

‘What’s the matter, dear?’ she whispers as she steps into the room, ‘Why are you down here at this time of night?’

The husband looks up from his coffee, ‘I am just remembering when we first met 20 years ago and started dating. You were only 16. Do you remember back then?’ he says solemnly.

The wife is touched to tears thinking that her husband is so caring, so sensitive.

‘Yes, I do’ she replies.

The husband pauses. The words were not coming easily.

‘Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car?’

‘Yes, I remember!’ said the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him.

The husband continues. ‘Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in my face and said, ‘Either you marry my daughter, or I will send you to jail for 20 years?’

‘I remember that too’ she replies softly.

He wipes another tear from his cheek and says…

‘I would have been released today.’

I swear I do not know the origin of this, but it is hilarious. This is the first time I ever saw this on the interwebs. Don’t hate me for posting this. :)

The guy is grunting while the girl continues to moan in pain.

It’s 3:40 in the morning, give me a break!

You should try the reflector. :P

Sanity is returning slowly.

I feel good. But reality is kicking in too.

So does my desire to learn things other than required for continuing my financial progress, for instance, Scheme programming

It is really strange that different things have a different effect on people at all odd times. For me, it is getting Wi-Fi to work on Ubuntu.

I don’t really have a plan to step into the next day. It is already the next day in half of the world.

It is simple really.

I need to stop my conditionally motivated attitude and also simply replace my addictions the cold turkey way. Some of those addictions, Reddit, for instance, cannot be completely curbed.

Nowadays Reddit is boring on most days of the week. So there it goes. Out of my sight.

But some of the other compulsions, some of which I would not like to name, can be stopped. Staying awake all night finding something or the other to do.

What has Ubuntu got to with it? I do not really know. Getting to Wi-Fi to work was not that hard this time. Ubuntu devs are doing some really phenomenal work.

At this time, I can’t even fathom why I take this as a sign and look forward to organizing my life in terms of my real goals and passions alike. But it is there.

The change.

I was under the impression that Boston is not a beautiful city until yesterday. Saturday and Sunday outings proved me completely wrong. :)
