I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Yeah, I'm not counting on much compounding of savings from my 20th of a percent annual APR. Mainly my savings account is a can't-spend-down-unmindfully-by-writing-checks account. When I have a cushion suitable for a year of unemployment (also the benchmark for a decent condo downpayment, if and when) I may just start putting any extra money into my 401k instead.

I'm kind of paranoid about having some savings, just in case. I've been on my own for long enough that I've had to go through some very tight times (last year, for example, I got a "raise" that meant my take-home pay went down ... it was tight, but I got through). I realize a lot of people don't and I don't want to end up deeply in debt. Since my mother died and I realized I got pretty much nothing (in comparison to what she had and what I'd expected), it's all my responsibility.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm not a saver because I still have debt. If I have extra $ it goes toward getting me debt free before I retire.

I've got two months' income in easily accessible savings, and a decent 401K. Beyond that? Well, life's an adventure, they say.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
"Can you name the artists singing Hallelujah?" can be sung to the tune of Hallelujah. And now it's in my head.

I did something kinda dumb, and when I tried to delete it, I thought I was just deleting it for myself. I'm pretty sure I accidentally deleted it for everyone. I decided it was time for me to head home after I unfucked that.

Ugh shrift, sounds like you need a good weekend
he's like my own personal cautionary tale
ha! I could see that
It turns out my form of trying to de-stress after a too long week is cooking a nice dinner. Somehow I think that's going about things the wrong way, but at least I'll eat well tonight? Roast chicken, rice, asparagus. I love it when artichoke and asparagus season arrives.

It wasn't a huge thing, but sleep deprivation definitely played a role. Oy.

I don't know, sometimes I find cooking therapeutic. Now I'm trying to figure out what I should make for dinner...

I'm in the process of eating the NY stip, salad, and parmesan noodles I fixed for dinner tonight.
My cats react whenever I cook by angrily tearing at their scratching pad. Yet if I try to actually feed them some of whatever meat is involved, they just sniff of it and then I find it later on the floor where they've played with it like a toy.
