This cold virus will not quit!! My head is still all congested
I've got two words that are going to make all the pain go away. Miniature Golf.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I am over here just wishing for some early retirement option to come down
SAME
I was heartened to learn that once you are over 55 if you are separated from your job you can withdraw from your 401K. My secret plan for survival if I get laid off or fired. Gets me through many days! I know it's better long-term to NOT do that but long-term strategy is a bit of a luxury sometimes
Anyway, I hope you have a good day tomorrow, msbelle! Even if your publicly acknowledged age does not change. Or maybe especially.
I have nothing on my calendar today and I am having trouble remembering what I'm supposed to do if I'm not in meetings or preparing for meetings. Drinking coffee is part of it, and I've got that covered...

ION, I did not realize when I bought it that a Bacon and Egg Pie would essentially rise up like a souffle when baked. This is awesome!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
That sounds amazing and I am hungry.

Our wings are not tired.
In the latest of many minor annoyances in settling my brother's affairs, my nephew unilaterally decided to wipe out my brother's laptop. I had been accessing it remotely, answering emails and taking care of things. Besides all the things in progress now, I won't get the end-of-year correspondence that we need to do his final tax return. I wrote to Gmail support and sent the death certificate and stuff to see if I can get access to that at least. The password for his email doesn't work, and recovery is on his cell phone, which was turned off months ago. Also, on the second affidavit to get the deed switched over to me on the house, this one a 'one and the same person' to explain that first-name middle-name maiden-name last-name is the same person as first-initial middle-name last-name. Yes, this too shall pass. But I am beyond furious with my nephew.
