Natter 73: Chuck Norris only wishes he could Natter
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Going back to the being unfit for work thing, when I was younger I used to think I used to think that I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I didn't have a job. Like it would be great for a little while but not long term.
Now I think retirement would be awesome and how soon can I make that happen?

I have never ever felt like that. It bewilders and confuses me when people say things along those lines.
I have never ever felt like that.
I don't even understand how I ever felt like that. But that was a time before I moved to a big city, before Netflix and ebooks and digital comics and free online classes. And, you know, getting older and actually realizing that my time is limited?
Going Walden! There's a word for it! Of course there is. That's what I'm doing.

I come from a long line of people who think like that, and I somehow got the "wants to go live on the side of a mountain with a bunch of hippies" side of the motivation gene pool.
Sadly, I also got the "wants to be highly stable" thing from the workaholic side, and the two are not matchy.
Timelies all!
I went to Macy's after work to look for a new outfit for the Jewish Holidays. Usually that is an exercise in frustration for a variety of reasons. Amazingly, I found a suit that is a)appropriate to wear to synagogue b) has a skirt, not pants and c) is in a color I like. I ended up paying $75 for something was originally $200. Best of all, the whole thing took 15 minutes!
Yay, Sheryl!
On the train home they said they were going to stop the train due to high winds. They ended up not having to do that, but I got off at Evanston and had to wait 20 minutes in the station stairwell until the storm passed. Then I got home and found water all over the floor--I guess I should have done a better job sealing the gaps around my air conditioner.
That is excellent shopping~fu!
