Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

Extra silk glove liners is not a bad thing. They are super easy to lose.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Silk glove liners are great. An extra pair is a good idea! Your subconscious was on the job.

ION, my niece just got accepted into grad school! So exciting! She's going for a Masters in public history.

(OMG how can I work 30 more years??)

No kidding! I have to renew certification for National Boards every ten years. I did renew this year, but I will have to do this twice more before I retire. At $1500 a pop, it's pricey but also DEPRESSING.

I am old, but apparently not old enough.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Earlier today, my mom was trying to figure out why there were a ton of military helicopters in the sky over her house. Turns out it was a practice run for a flyover at the Super Bowl. (The stadium isn't too far from where my parents live.) Seems like they could have warned people that this would be happening, and not to panic. (OK, according to one article, residents in some towns did get robocalls telling them about it, but not all the towns that they'd be flying over.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, the chain on my bedroom light (ceiling fan) pulled out this morning. I'll deal with that tomorrow -- it seems easy enough from the internet? But means I have to turn off the power, so I'd better do it when it's light out. I am glad it happened now, though, and not to my grandmother....

Yay, niece of Zen!

Hey, that W-2 showed up today. Possibly I have all the documents I need? I think I might have more outstanding interest statements, whatever letter-number combination that is, stating that I earned piddly amounts of interest. I can start without them, though, I've done it before.

That seems like a pretty nice house, brenda, and possibly a good thing family-wise.

I am officially passing on going to the gym and running today. Too tired. Tomorrow will do fine, and set me up nicely to rest and watch the Superbowl on Sunday.

Got a chicken roasting in the oven, just snarfed up the liver (yum!), perhaps it is now time for some wine.
