One more shot of espresso.  Looking for events in January, tech events and mixers… social engagements of any kind.  Here in Santa Rosa, but Marin and SF, and Berkeley too.

Think the rain stopped.  Last bit of espressos sipped…. And I’m into the day.  Have some xmas gifts remaining, to buy.  A couple for the kids, parents, friend, and I think that’s it.

Sparkling water now.  Little business discussed, and I’m in the slow slowness of year’s end.  Expenses for catalytic converter replacement goes up, hundreds of dollars.  Me furious but it has to happen.  Two expenses planned for day, actually one… GROCERIES.

Am I looking at a house today?  Probably not.  Impatient, but focused.  Nothing I want to spend even a cent on but my writing walls.

……..

Back from looking at cars, nothing standing out.  Went to Oliver’s, got lunch for Dad and I.  Now back in Nook.  Tentative appointment for Wednesday, to look at condos…. We’ll see.  My impatience is controlling my thoughts, ability to concentrate.

30 minutes to call.  Desk here much more free, spacious after filing papers and re-doing my filing system, de-cluttering.  Rest of xmas gifts, getting this week, at some point. 

Distracted by messaging back and forth with……..  Then posting something on LinkedIn.  I want there to be NO conventional prospecting 2022.  And no “networking”.  CONVERSATIONS…. Genuine and HUMAN connection.  Knowing the business and story, stories…

Another idea.  Think I found THE way to blend everything I do as a blogger with my Sonic AE life.  Holy ….. why didn’t I see this before?

BE MORE STARTUP.  From notes… quick notes to self, extending from wine and wine tastings, wine industry experience…. Should write this in Paris pages, OFFBLOG even though it’s already ON’.

Wine buying mission with Sue…. Ideas for my little shop.
