In the previous post, I mentioned the FlexLeave programme. It looks 90% likely that I will be approved to take FlexLeave, and I’ve officially applied for 6 months leave from work. I haven’t figured out exactly what to do with the time yet, but I’m getting quite excited thinking about some of the options. Thoughts I’ve come up with so far include:
– Going to work in Europe for a while
– Travelling through Portugal, Spain, southern France, Italy, Greece
– Getting a personal trainer and getting a serious exercise programme going
– Biking around Ontario, or Canada
– Seeing Toronto as a tourist, visiting all the museums, parks, etc.
– Volunteering
– Skiing
– Taking a cooking course
– Finally doing a complete inventory of my cupboards and boxes and throwing out or disposing of all of the detritus
– Spending some time trying to reorganize my retirement savings plan to try and develop a return on investment of greater than 0
The only downside at the moment is I’ve decided that, since my income level is about to plunge, I should hold off on the kitchen renovation that I was about to launch. I still really want to do it, but I think it can wait, especially if I’m going to be travelling. Who knows? Maybe I’ll decide that I want to move somewhere…
