Yeah I’m def not checking my 401k.

And sadly rather than an afternoon nap I have an afternoon dentist appointment.

I do like the shipping of the OTP though!! I do not like Teppy having covid.

Good luck with real estate Hec, it’s all so wild.

Yeah I’m def not checking my 401k.

It's full or Froot Loops. Or, if you're lucky, Honey Bunches of Oats.

Yesterday it was full of Froot Loops, today it's generic grocery store "fruit-flavored rings" in the cellophane bag.

Non-Covid unicorn here!

Oh my god, I had to stop checking my retirement account, because it's stressing me out (unlike Tim, who is cheerfully saying "Now is the time to buy!"). I'm pretty sure the value of my IRA is 2 nickels, some shiny rocks, and a handful of Froot Loops

I haven't invested in a 401k (or any retirement plan) since I left MIT in 2010, but I left my account with their financial investment team and it's doing surprisingly well.

Life here in Austin is ok. I just applied for a job that would be perfect for me and I would kick ass at. So if there's any job~ma around, I could really use some. I think it's the only job/org I'd feel ok leaving the freelance life for.

Exciting home ownership news: we cleared out the garage and replaced the automatic garage door opener, and now I park my car in there ALL THE TIME. Ok, that's not exciting, but having lived a garage-less adult existence (and before that, I only knew garages as junk repositories.)

Oh! We also have a new cat who thinks he's a crazy kitten. We named him Milton and he's cute and feisty AF.

Job~ma, Nora! And congrats on the new kitten.

Job~ma, Nora! That is exciting garage news! Yay cat!

3-year Vision meeting went pretty well. I actually did talk and VP asked me follow up questions which I did not expect but it was fine. Cat only leapt across the camera a couple of times. Sigh. My only remaining meeting for the week is something "fun" tomorrow that I haven't RSVPd to yet.

Rapid and painless recovery ~ma to the Covid sufferers. Yuck.

Job ~ma, Nora, and a garage with a door opener is a treat not to be underestimated or underenjoyed.

I am feeling all kinds of hermit-like today. Normally (well, pandemic normal), I order groceries and go pick them up, but I opted for delivery tomorrow instead. And then I don't feel like cooking or foraging, so I ordered BBQ, which is fab, but, also, I'd normally pick it up, but I used Grub Hub this time. Not sure why I'm out of sorts today, but I def am. Moods are weird.

I follow the real estate goings on here with interest.

Job~ma, Nora. Garage access is indeed a treat. Enjoy the kitty!

Good to hear the Vision meeting went well.

Mmmm, fruit loops. It has been quite a number of decades. I think I'll just think of them fondly. Stock roller coaster is likely more scary than the old rickety wood variety.

Nora my family never used the garage growing up because it was full of junk, so go you!! I was v excited the other day that I managed to program my garage door to open from a push button on my car—no more having the opener fall down or run out of battery! I felt fancy. Still do each time I push the button!

Timelies all!

I woke up a few times last night, at least one because I was congested. Feels like my usual annoying cold, and I was not exposed to anyone who tested positive, so I'll be ok.
