Wow, that's an impressive result! Sorry about the pinkeye, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I know. Poor dude.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
That must have been some sale - I think the best we've ever done was about $200.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Yeah, pretty good, Scrappy! The most I've ever done is about 200$ too.
Ticket to Iceland has been acquired! Glaciers ho! I leave in 2 weeks!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Woo, Scrappy! That is some impressive garage sale-ing. Bummer about the eyes, though.
Woohoo, Zen! Have a wonderful time! I want to go back to Iceland so bad. Some day. Meanwhile, I highly recommend the tasting menu (I think that's what it's called, when the chef serves you a bunch of courses and you don't really make any decisions other than "I can't have X" and how many of the paired wines to have) at the restaurant Dill in Reykjavik. Amazingly good.
I went and looked up how much I have in the 401k that I haven't rolled over into my current employers' and it's twice as much as is in the current one, way more than I was remembering, and getting a better return, so I'm gonna leave it there and reduce my contributions for a while. The projection tools suggest my retirement income can handle that. Between that and decreasing my W-4 withholdings, I'm hoping to get my take home pay up where one paycheck will actually cover my monthly mortgage payment. That seems like it would simplify that whole sticking to a budget thing. Which I have been struggling with. To put it mildly.

Oh yikes, -t. Needing more than one paycheck to cover the mortgage sounds brutal.
Ooh, Zen! I want to go back to Iceland, too!!

Yeah, I can't really afford my house, but I can't sell it for as much as I bought it for, or even as much as I owe, so. I'm hoping one of those will eventually change if I can be frugal for a while.

That sucks, -t.
My garmin tries to automatically figure out if I'm working out based on my movements. Mostly that just means when I walk to the store or something later "walk" for like 8 minutes will show up. But I was looking and realized last night it decided I was SWIMMING for 20 minutes. Apparently dancing reads like swimming?!?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I want to go to Iceland too!
I didn't get up and out early enough for the Science march or for the first panel I wanted to see at C2E2 (sorry FitzSimmons) but since I stayed until 9 for the Cards Against Humanity panel that would've been a really long day.

That's funny, meara. My Fitbit often thinks I am on a bike or elliptical machine when I am not, but it hasn't thought I was swimming yet.
