(35,753 posts)the main difference is I enjoy all the tasks you describe in your first part of the post.
And instead of actually playing music, I spend about 30" just doing "deep listening." I could play but I don't happen to have a bassoon in the house, nor do I own a set of carillons and an organ with three keyboards. I guess I could get a synthesizer.
And I only drive about 4 miles to the nearest Trader Joe's, maybe 2 to WF.
Instead of Lotus Sutra, I do my own consciousness exploration which has been nothing short of astounding (what I've found out). Hemisync, binaural beats, Solfeggio.
Other than that: lifestyle twins, pretty close to it.

You didn't mention this but I will say that from Day One I never spent a damn minute on a job I didn't love. I walked off of plenty of jobs. Either that or took the company car home and never returned. I had one employer call me up and ask for their car back, LOL.
I loved that they sort of timidly asked that, too. One of the prouder moments of my working career. Never afraid to say eff you.
