Check-In: 2015-08-22 (Saturday) - 2015-08-23 (Sunday)

Body: walking, diet, sleep
Mind: rest
Spirit: games
Social: visiting with friends

I took a bit of a brain break this weekend, not really intentionally but it may be a good thing as I'll be needing my wits about me for job searching this week. My friend Jim came into town on Saturday for a visit and stuck around for noodles last night, which we shared with my other friend Shane, as is tradition on Sunday nights.

Saturday morning, prior to Jim's arrival, I went to the farmer's market with Amber & Jay, which was good for securing some healthy food. So it's been a very sociable and healthy weekend.

Now, with the oil sands and the world economy collapsing around my ears*, I'm off to find work.

* Actually, China's stock market is still up 40% from where it was last year, even after all the recent drops... which means the problem isn't that their economy is slowing down, but rather that it was floating a giant bubble of dreams and wishes that is simply being corrected to sane reality. So hopefully this won't be a 2008-style event, but rather something that will balance out in relatively short order, allowing investors to regain confidence and re-enter the market. But only time will tell.

I personally am still up on the stocks I bought last year, but I'd still rather not sell right now.
