I hate going here. I love, having fun, playing, laughter etc... And while I love a good storm, I don't like doom so much.
I understand we've all had to make some real life decisions, be it, divorce, bankruptcy, a career change or whatever. Sometime's these choices are forced upon us. Sometime's it's foolishness on our part. Sometime's it's just because we can.
While spending my most favorite type of evening here at home last week, I had a thought (I get those sometime's.). Just for fun, I dug out my retirement papers. Hmmm, wonder what the taxes would be? Next business day I was on the phone with the nice folks at the retirement place. When I found out, I immediately contacted the nice folks at the place I that's holds my supplemental plan. (Is that spelled like that or am I just being mental?) I started thinking...and thinking...and, well we all know I can get to thinking way too hard.
I could pay off my house without dipping in my other plan, live in the dark and go eat at Squirrels' house every day. LMAO I'm really considering this. The way I see it is, I could play anytime I wanted. I wouldn't have to stay so busy I don't know my own name. I don't have to know what day it is (cept for Squirrels grocery day). I don't have to have people either in my face, on my phone, sending an e mail, yelling over the POD wall.
Have you ever just done something? Because you could? Or...thought you could? Convinced you could?
Have you not done something? Was it fear? Someone told you you couldn't? That you shouldn't?
Have you ever just looked down at your plate and said?, "I have to make something just go away"
I'm done now.

I think you are trading one extreme for another.
It's your JOB!! not, not working.
It's too stressful, yet because you are one who loves a challenge you become the rabbit trying to keep up with an almost impossible challenge.
BTW, yes, it's spelled right and you aren't mental.
But it is comforting to know you CAN do this IF you really want to.
fOllow your heart dorothy, you're not in Kansas anymore.*wink*

Manny,
What the HELL are you talking about?
Good Night!!
looking at my retirementpapers just brings tears to my eyes, I have no idea how I'm going to live being old but the way it looks I'll have to move to a third wold country to make a decent living.
Oh Manny, I try and look at the future and contimplate what if? It sometimes is depressing. I see that I might be able to consider retirement in 6 1/2 years, if I still have a job then. Will I do it? Hard to say. It would feel nice. I am not sure I could make it however. So I probably would have to become a Wall Mart greater. "Welcome to Wall Mart". If I was down in Ohio at least you and Squirrel would come and visit.
I tend to look at things and talk myself out of things. I look at the safe, the conservitive thing and try to plan it all out. So I tend to talk myself out of it before I do anything I will regret later.
The best way to get to do something is to tell me I can't. But that's usually when it's laid down like a challenge.
No way am I giving you advice. Not right now. My brain went out to lunch a month ago and hasn't come back far as I know. I figure it's out there somewhere right now, probably needing bail money.
Yeah and now I wish I hadnt.
I had gotten a nice cd from my grandmother and what did I do buy a house. One thats totally paid for. and where am I? Living in the first hose we bought 31 years ago and it aint paid baby. We are putting out 1,300.00 house payment on this one when we have one sitting there totally paid for and what the heck are we thinking? Yes yes we are going to sell one or the other or both. We just gotta get that far! lol

Manny, see how loyal I still am to you?
Someday you'll miss me!
Good Night My beautiful Candy Cane.xoxoxox
If you make today work for you tomorrow will be easy.
I spend my time thinking about today, tomorrow will be there in the morning so why waste the effort or risk thr dead brain cells when we have so much to think about now.
Today or tomorrow the same shit will always be there to irritate us, it will just go by another name.
Enjoy life, don't sweat it.
Have a nice day
Yes Manny, I'm still here!
xoxoxox

Doesn't do any harm to think that way Manny but very few people follow their heart. The head usually knows better!
The crowd is getting restless, they are getting ready to storm the Gates!!!
SEND OUT THE WHENCH!!!!
G-man, she just doesn't like us no more.
G, are you calling me a wench again?
There once was a girl named manny
Who lived in a lovely shanty.
I'm here for a second. I just get tired of telling you all how busy I am.
Just know, I am busy and even though I don't have time to comment, I check in here and with all of you.
Hi Manny...I kinda went thru this back when I quit my long time, very good job at 'the office'. It was a GIANT GIANT leap of faith. And while it wasn't all smooth, in the end, I'm very thankful and glad I did that for ME. I mean, I did it for my kids and family life too, but..my sanity was about shot to hell. I know I saved myself some hospital breakdown time.
Hope you find the balance in your life..that's what it's really all about I think.
XXOO
Get a laptop, then you can blog in the bathroom.
Unless you are too busy for that too.....
Good Night
Milky-Thank you for understanding
G-I am laughing my ass off over your comment. I LOVE YOU MAN !
Yeah?
Well OBVIOUSLY...
I love you too!!!
I fucking can't help it!
Good Night Candy..xoxox
Manny...?
You got a laptop?
Love and licks!
I have made some rash decisions like that and as scary as it was and I had NO clue as what to expect, it turned out for the best on most part. As far as retirement goes...DAMN! I wish I could do that RIGHT NOW....lol
