New platform to try to be truthful to myself, although anonymous for now.
I made pepper jack corn muffins and a pumpkin bread 🤦🏽♀️
I am bringing 3 sides I made from scratch so self, stop obsessing about baking something else and making an appetizer too. JUST STOP.

Feel like I should be doing homework for work.
For the job that I’ve had for 31 years. Successfully.

So annoying to have a new younger boss checking up on me, who has been working independently, successfully, at this company for over 31 years. Seriously dude? Insulting.

The results are in…
If I want to continue my current lifestyle (yes),
I can retire at 60 in 2 years!
I don’t have to, but I CAN!
I almost cried.
Because I CAN, and because why:
Because my ExWithALS’s surviving spouse benefits make the difference ❣️❣️❣️

I’ve had this on my phone Lock Screen for a week now and I think I’m finally feeling it.

In 5 days I will get the first draft of my retirement analysis from my financial advisor.
Hoping to quit at 60, and claim at 65.
The Affordable Care Act might derail that.
I swear, I don’t need much to live on; what I do need is TIME.

“So it was, on that misty morning, that Brenda set off for the capital. She knew not what she would find there, only that the time had come to move on - away from small-minded rural attitudes and people who called her ‘Oreo’ and ‘the wide panda’ - to seek a more fulfilling life.”

Still processing that my under coworker was screaming at me on Friday. I have today off, and maybe she is taking the holiday tomorrow. Heard she might take Wednesday off, as she is filing a court case against my company for discrimination for when she got demoted.
I can’t handle conflict! 😩

I had a sub coworker who doesn’t report to me scream at me today “why do things always have to be your way?” when I improved a process that adds a small but logical step to her day.
I apparently work with a 4 year old diva.

Ok so the first estimate to put central air in my house was $25,000 so maybe 2 new better grade window units isn’t such a bad thing.
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised, since my bro’s bathtub replacement was $10G

Do not use #Mainstays canning jars from @Walmart. I had one box as a sub for the @BallCanning jars I usually use, and most DID NOT SEAL, tried twice. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

Fighting #paranoia as I realize my adult kids are really busy, understandably, and live 1-2h away, so it is conceivable they may only come here every 4-6 weeks which means maybe 10x/year or less
WHAT?
And when they have kids, even busier! 😭
