D - Ohio's not so bad:

Okay. Pretty

Gargoyle butt.

So, imagine that picture, and dump about an inch of snow on top = New Paltz today.

Youngstown, yesterday

My daffodils are like "Wait...what?"

poor babies

my hosta seems to have sruvived the snow

oh good, york has been drafted

At least you will have a glorious summer

and no winter of discontent

Mmph. It may well be the Pennsic of our discontent, and no glorious summer....

I am mentally preparing for no pennsic

I will give up pennsic for F2F fall classes, dammit

I hear that.

Then clearly, it's time to start up the Fantasy Tourney League!

And I've been to the hospital near Pennsic. No way could they handle an outbreak if it happens during Pennsic.

correct

my real concern is Two Weeks After

I have had a quiet but Real revelation.

Illuminate us, Shady.

Vanilla frosties are just naked chocolate frosties?

I don't want to go back to work.

I don't feel a NEED to go back to work.

smirk Yeah. I hear that. I mean, I'm working, and I miss my students...but I don't need to go back to work f2f.

I will if I need to.... but damn it.... I'm very happy, if I can, to live at home and cook and clean and garden and improve and pick up/drop off kids and do errands and appointments and such.

What about health insurance?

Yup. It's what one family member almost always did before the 1970s. Now it's considered abnormal.

UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE!!!!

From your lips to the god of your choice's ears, Rahne.

Ugh, I need eggs, and I KNOW Target has eggs. But they are only coming up to have shipped from the location 2 blocks away, not for pickup

I just don't want to walk through the store! That's all!

Most stores near me are doing curb-side pick-up, if you order ahead. There's a wait, but....

And sorry, Shady. Not trying to put a downer on your revelation . I tend to worry as a natural thing

I get it though, Shady. Contentment is highly underrated.

It IS

Well, you DO have health care, thank you VA

I have the VA.

Yes.

This is true

VA & Tricare for the fam.

Afraid I'm going to have to go and get some other things done in about 15 min.

Aw poo.

NP we can close up

(I'll go back to work if I have to, and I'll be good at it and have fun, and keep trying to move beyond where I am now in my (stalled) career..... but...... I don't feel the DRIVE to ID with that work.)

GOOD. You're IDing with being YOU, and the work is there to support that. That's proper work-life balance.

...and I'm sure I'll get there eventually. wry

I mean, I get satisfaction out of my work but... it doesn't feed me like PR work, or work around the house, does.

Yup.

Have you talked to your DH about this revelation?
