    That's almost what I say.... :) I say "5 years to go!" And I also say, I'm kind of jealous!

    Wishing you all the best and lots of fun on your new adventures.

    I hope there's some KC Chiefs fans here! It's going to be the coldest day of the winter so far in KC with a forecast low of 8 so will probably be celebrating with some adult hot cocoa!

    I seem to be making it here at least once a month now that I am working full-time again. I got the 1st dose of the vaccine and am due for the next in a few more weeks. This weekend we had to replace our bathroom scale and it is showing me 5 lbs heavier than our last one which we knew weighed us a pound heavier than the one at the gym which we trusted more since ours changed depending on where you put it. I just decided it wouldn't hurt to just accept the weight for this new scale and if I have to get rid of an extra 5 lbs it won't hurt me in the end. I worked so hard to get 20 lbs down this past year and have been fighting not to gain since I started back to work. Oh well.

    @Machdude I don’t think maintaining is that much different than losing.

    @trekkie123 Congratulations, we are not yet ready for retirement but we are preparing for it. My job is a limited time contract and I am hoping either for a few months extension when it ends or to be ready for retirement by then. Enjoy.

    @LisaGetsMoving I was furloughed in March and this past summer was laid off so I too considered whether to retire earlier than planned but in looking at our retirement planning I felt it wasn’t the best way to go. So I started looking and found an even better job than my last in terms of job title, pay and benefits and I am working remotely. It was the 2nd job I applied for. It is giving us time to get better prepared. When I set up my home office I was also setting up my art room for when I retire. I have been starting small sketches for planned artwork in my free time.

    @RetiredAndLovingIt A farm sounds lovely now.

    @KeriA It is just a small one where dh grew up, mostly timber & pasture. But relaxing to be there. We also got our first doses a week ago.
