I have boarded! My flight is a little delayed, but not by much. I'll take it.

I just realized that I have a vacation scheduled in six weeks! I mean, I've known about it, but now that it's nearly January, it's actually close!

FSA is different depending on your employer. Ours rolls over to March 1.

Things that are FSA okay eligible that seem weird to me, but are still cool -- bandages, ice packs, first aid kits, braces and supports (like Ace wraps), sunscreens, lip balm, shoe inserts (like Dr. Scholls).

we cannot get anything from drugstores on our FSA anymore, strictly prescribed things and offsetting co-pays/non-covered office visit things.

Who the hell starts a batch of cookies at 10:30 pm so she'll have cookies for the neighbors out in the field for fireworks?

Oops. Hope it doesn't rain.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good one, thank you for confirming.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I love that when we hear something that could be fireworks or gunshots (my least-favorite guessing game) several people in my neighborhood will reliably post on Nextdoor. com about it. Everyone checks in with their street and we triangulate and one dude always asks, "But did you CALL THE POLICE???"

(The conclusion tonight was early NYE fireworks.)

a friend just posted on fb about his daughter asking about New Year's Steve....and my brain went so quickly to OMG I WANT A NEW YEAR'S STEVE (because clearly that is Rogers).

My love of fictional people continues to be worrisome.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

OMG I WANT A NEW YEAR'S STEVE (because clearly that is Rogers).

Clearly! And now I want one too!

Why do I have to work tomorrow?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Unless it's near the 4th of July I always assume the things that sound like gunshots are gunshots, my DH always assumes its either a car backfiring or fireworks.

New Year's Steve is a great idea. He'd just go around on NYE dropping in on people to wish them a very happy new year. It'd be like Santa for grown ups.
