Recovering a bit

luckycanuckI wound up going to a Q&A session featuring six American political types from both parties on Wednesday night. It was kind of like networking, though not exactly, but ti did make me feel busy and important again. It was one of the rare occasions over the last couple of months when I have worn a suit. Some of them liked my pushup ideas and said to get in touch with them regarding election experience opportunities next year.
TW: 10 rounds - 20 situps, 5 100kg deadlifts. 10 rounds - row 200m, 10 situps. I also did 10 handstand pushups, for which I had to ask for help with balance. The pushups themselves were fine, but I do need help with balance and I will keep practicing them.
The market seems to be ok but there is still the chance for major falls if people get spooked again. I am mostly in, but I am looking to get out of a few stocks like Nexbis which has long frustrated me and has not responded to my requests for further information like VDM Group did. I'm considering tipping a bit more into their capital raising now that it has been extended and sweetened with one option for every two stocks held after the raising. There is another capital raising for ERA that I will likely participate in. I usually like capital raisings. Some people complain about diluting the stock, but that only happens if you don't participate.
The house has been pretty quiet with people away. It's just been Roxy and I for the last couple weeks, but now Esky is back. Ginger Harpist is still in France, but I am getting photos from Facebook.
I'm feeling a bit better, having been busy. The gloom isn't quite as intense as it was during recent lows. I plan to go back to therapy next week.
Off to Sydney tomorrow for the weekend. I have successfully learned Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau in Welsh and I am all set to sing on Saturday.
