3goodthings

1) I saw the Flea, and wow. I never do the final calculation of my net worth before our annual meeting because I like to let him do the big reveal... this year it was a big reveal, because the first digit wasn't the one I expected. He had to admit this year (and, to his credit, he volunteered) that I could technically afford to retire now, according to his model. We both feel there'd be a lot of risk in that -- the market's been good for so long we're overdue for a good recession, and who the hell knows what's going on with healthcare, and so on. But still. I kind of want to lean in and see if I can make director, I kind of want to lean out and see how not-stressed I can get while keeping my team okay. Either way, I'd say it just stopped making much sense to be miserable because of work. From now on, my misery tolerance will probably only decrease.

2) I evolved a Feebas into a Milotic in Pokemon Go. Finally! Ugly fish becomes beautiful water dragon.

3) I got my retouched birthday-shoot photos back from the photographer, and they are cleaned up and soooo pretty. I posted a small handful on Facebook after a careful re-read of their community standards, and the likes are piling up. Amusingly, the first commenter was a friend of mine from acro who is also in her 40s -- I replied something like "thanks, fellow over-40 circus lady!" and got a sheepish private request to please delete because, though she thinks everyone should "own their age" like I'm doing, she isn't public on her acro page about her own... sigh. I deleted, of course I did. But like... does anyone actually think 40 is old? I've been pretty tongue-in-cheek about the whole thing.
