Another person asked me today, “How long until you can retire?”
So basically now I have a complex.
I mean, I’m using the under eye cream my daughter gave me for Christmas, so what’s going on, folks?
I drove by my old street today and told my dog, “Hey! That’s where I used to live when I was a kid, right there.”
I pointed and he turned his head to look out of the window.
Totally normal, nothing to see here.
Somehow today I didn’t do any school work. None! This should feel relaxing, but it turns out… not so much.
I guess it doesn’t matter how much you work during Spring Break, you still won’t feel ready for school to start again.
Today my son flew back from Spain, he’s on his way from JFK right now so I am playing a little game called “How much TV can I watch to pass the time?”
In other news, there are never enough Thin Mint cookies, and it doesn’t really matter how many you buy.
On a Thought 
“Somehow today I didn’t do any school work. None! This should feel relaxing, but it turns out… not so much.”
Me either. It felt good, sort of, except for the dread I feel about tomorrow. Mint cookie ice-cream over here. I’m asking myself the retirement question, except without the complex. I’m ready.
Such a fun post! I love the stanza about your dog, and also this line: “there are never enough Thin Mint cookies, and it doesn’t really matter how many you buy.” (among all the rest of your post–each stanza is so great!)
Fun post with all sorts of snippets of information!
I love a good brain dump! And also couldn’t agree more about there never being enough Thin Mint cookies!
I’ve read this post, and I think it means we can be friends. Just starting with the fact that you’ve brought us this beautiful array of random thoughts and confessions – I mean, Ona. You’re my PEOPLE.
And yes, I talk to my dog all the time, and expect that folks will think it’s entirely normal. Also maybe the fact that we’re getting eye cream for holidays might say what it needs to say. And I have the same complex about retirement, and people asking me about it (though I haven’t been called grandma yet). Still, if someone was like, “hey! why don’t you retire? and here’s a free puppy!” you’d better believe I’d take ’em up on it…
Ha! Yes, friends of course! I can’t help it with the random thoughts and confessions. And I am 100% for the retirement if it comes with a puppy (and healthcare…)
