    that's why I was asking, could be retired, in school, currently searching for employment, on disability, etc etc.

    I hate not working...not necessarily financially...although that is part of it. But work was satisfying...gives you purpose...

    it does definitely fill the days up. What industry are you in? I left my last field in Social Work to work in IT. It was an amazing change.

    If you could be doing anything in the world, barrier free, what would you be doing?

    I would be a circus performer! My barrier is that I have no act/talent lol

    I'd be a performer of some sort...I've done improv & acting so I'd love to do either.

    Or rock star...but my guitar playing leaves a lot to be desired

    Hey hooray for a new week. It's family day here.

    Happy Family Day. Here, it's President's Day, which I'm celebrating by working through the day like it's a normal Monday. After I get home though, the party will really start as I sit through my son's wrestling meet. After all that excitement, I'll wind out the celebration with some melatonin and probably fall asleep reading "The King in Yellow" again.

    Sometimes I wonder how I get anything done around here!

    Working hard, yes--got a buncha meetings today that aren't "show up" meetings but are "participate" meetings so I gotta have my mind right. No lie, it's a struggle today :)

    And early taxes mean less worry at the deadline, or a faster return (if you're in that camp). Hooray for getting them done, anyway
