A big part of our reason to move to Michigan was to lower our monthly nut enough to enable us to retire someday.. I'm 61 and J is 55– we foresee at least another decade of full time work.
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

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

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Hey, Facebook just told me that 7 years ago, I had pleurisy! How was that 7 years ago??? (I mean, for god's sake, I've been married for 4 years already. WHAT THE FUCK EVEN IS THAT.)

Hooray Good News Gizmo!
I don't like to think about retirement. Probably I will dramatically starve to death and leave an insignificant estate to distant strangers who share some heritage.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
WE ARE AT THE DPS AND HAVE DONE THE PAPERWORK AND MAC IS IN THE CAR AWAITING DRIVING TEST AND I SWEAR I AM MORE NERVOUS THAN HIM. I made him drive the hour here which gave him city streets, highways, interstate, construction and fog, so this should be a breeze, he is fully warmed up.

Note to self: Diet Coke after sunset is a terrible idea. I was forming a new (to me) hypothesis of the fundamental difference between the Dark Side and Light Side of the Dorce at 2 am and now my cinnamon rolls are overcarmelizing.

May the Dorce be with you, -t.
I should share good news, right? I'm getting a raise, a bigger bonus than I was expecting, and more stock. This morning I lost a post due to a laptop reboot where I was grumbling about not having direct reports but somehow doing the work of a people manager anyway, and this afternoon, my junior team thanked me for all my help.

That's awesome shrift!!
One of my friends who was going to come to Mexico with me during the one week another friend can come has found out she's being sent to Japan for a leadership training. Which is amazing and awesome for her but dang.

Yay shrift!
Tomorrow is my last day of work before this trip. I really need to be more productive right now...

It's like the Force but for dorks? IDK
Congrats, shrift, that's all good to read! (FYI, originally typed your name as shridt so I guess this is just what happens when I don't get enough sleep)
Fie on being productive before vacation, Consuela. Fie I say! (Ha, typed those right, I guess the coffee is kicking in)
