I shouldn't say continuously. I thought I knew what I was doing when I was getting the MBA. Turns out I did not, of course, but I did think so for at least a couple of years.

I wish I would have done something more exciting with my mid-life crisis. I guess I could still toss it all and run away to Paris?

Mine is about what I want to be when I grow up.

To be perfectly honest, the tiny hot Korean pop stars are basically a distraction from this problem.

That sounds like fun, Sue. I support tossing it all and running away to Paris.

In some ways, having a mortgage, 10 years of the same address and 4 years in the same job is a mid-life crisis for me.

I want a big house where I and all my friends and our animals can live, and enough money to pay for it all and travel sometimes. I've got no more ambitions than that. Really, I want the same thing I've wanted since I was about 6: Leave me alone and let me be. The only difference is, now I know how to accomplish that.

I could have written Zen's post exactly, except for the knowing how to do it part. (I mean, I know how to live happily alone with friends and animals and travel, what I don't know is how to accomplish it realistically.)

Scrappy, that's great news about leaving your job. Way to go, Scrappy's boss!

Connie, I'm glad the bank didn't fuck up.

I applied for a job that would be perfect for me today, in a more money, less stress way, even if it's not exactly what I want to be doing with myself five days a week. But I also talked to my agent today, and she's really excited about what I'm working on, so I'm now excited, too (and trying to ignore the oh-my-god-now-I-have-to-write-well fear that came along for the ride).

I am not this moment having midlife crises, but I've so been there.

MRI went fine. More later when I'm not making up for missing breakfast and lunch.

Haunted Dana...ok I twice tried to make that say yay and it kept changing it. Um. Maybe autocorrect knows something we don't.

Also yay Amy!

. I haven't been sleeping well at all the last week or so, despite the CPAP on my face. I seem to be yanking it off without waking after a couple hours.

That's my problem. And it's especially a problem because I mostly need it in the last few hours of sleep, that's when I actually had more apnea. I've quit using it for a while.

Oh, good luck with both of those, Amy!

I like your style, Zen.

Glad the MRI is over and went fine, Dana!

My only problem with the CPAP is the urge to say "Are you my mummy?" when I put it on. The cats don't get it. Or maybe they do and just aren't amused.
