My father's retirement plan involved getting appointed to the Papua New Guinea Supreme Court. I'm pretty certain my role models for retirement are skewing my expectations.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
For the second year in a row, we got those pears from husband's aunt. I am not the biggest fan of pears, and they arrive right before we go out of town for a week or more.
So we ripened a few quickly, and the others are in the fridge, where they will hopefully keep for 10 days.

There is a note on the reception desk that Jesus is on vacation until Jan 4. I guess that makes sense.

As for retirement, not until Mr. S is in college, or at least graduated from high school. It'll probably be later than that, given I'm a federal employee and may not have much of a pension when the Republicans are done with it.

They are having a surprise retirement party for a Senior VP right now. In fact, someone just popped out and offered to watch the front desk so I could go in for a bit and fix myself a plate. I suppose I could have hung out but I haven't actually met the guy who is retiring before so I felt totally awkward and just scurried out with my food.

Good news and more good news, I got a good report on Gizmo's recovery this evening during my visit, AND one of the vet techs is thinking about taking him in now that he's moved into a new apartment. That would be pretty much ideal in terms of placement, a home with someone who takes care of animals for a living.

Good news, indeed! That is a delight to read, Matt.

Fingers crossed that Gizmo gets a vet-tech forever home.
I finished wreath making. Next up: pajama sewing. We are leaving for Idaho on Friday. So it will have to be done before then.
