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!
That was shopping-fu, Sheryl. Sometimes it just happens.
Apropos of almost nothing, I must have had a small nose-bleed last night, because today inside my nostril there's a scab. Not painful... just stiff and uncomfortable and keeps making me think my nose is running. You have no idea how much self-restraint it takes me not to go excavating after it, because that's just going to set off the nosebleed again I think.
You'd be surprised how often one wrinkles one's nose in the course of an ordinary day, which sets off the whole cycle of discomfort. Feh.
