So far today seems a day which is probably what I do not mind to be replicated going forth. I woke up at 7+am, leisurely dressed up, leisurely took my breakfast whilst taking in the headlines (and the page in Business Time that may compel any urgent equity trade online ), bode the cat goodbye and headed for the school. At school whilst waiting for the students to finish their assembly, did a bit of reading and preparation. When the students started to stream out, went to distribute appointment slips to 2 clients. Along the way 3 other students called out to me from their classroom window to update me or tell me something interesting. One of them whose case is supposed to be closed, asked to resume counselling because he feels very stressed. These encounters made me feel good and paved the day (ego and self righteousness perhaps). The 2 clients were punctual and expressive. Generally a good day at school.
At 12 I left school, went to the "fan cai (rice & vege)" stall and bought lunch to enjoy at home. The "fan cai" includes the simple fried pork, omelette and shredded green melon which is my favourite. The food tasted so good. Though it was nothing compared to the shark fin in superior broth that I relished at my previous job (when bankers invited my big bosses and I tagged along), this afternoon's lunch had another pleasant taste, warm, nice and didn't make you feel lethargic and overindulged.
Now posting this entry after lunch, I am looking forward to my afternoon nap. You know by far the biggest, most intensely felt, most beneficial thing about not WORKING is enjoying afternoon naps. When I was working I used to feel at lunch time "the best thing in life is taking afternoon nap at home".
So what I want is really quite simple, going to school for 3 hours to do a bit of good by lending a patient ear and doing a bit of counselling, having a good warm lunch followed by a nap, having the beautiful cat snoozing peacefully beside me whilst I type an entry in my blog; AND generally no display of moodiness and grievances from my family members (although this is probably the area I have least control of when they come home). Of course going forward no more nasty surprises from the financial market would be really good too.
REALLY a day like that is all that I want!
