finally a break

In 2016 I put this on Trekkie

And said “Hoss- make tracks!”

My objective was to get

As much money as I could 

As I planned the last 20 years 

Of my retirement. 

I’m a Nurse who blogs. 

I work every day Nursing.

Kids, hospice, hospice kids,

Wound care, broken bones, 

broken lives. Let’s mend. 

I am Former Fattie. 

I am not sponsored 

I make no money on my blog. 

That’s not what it’s about. 

It’s all about my fat ass

Not eating junk. 

No Ba-Donkey-Donk in the trunk. 

Lol. 

Hot hot hot at work. 

No Air Conditioning. 

Ugh. I can’t bear it. 

Some people save for retirement 

From like age 30. 

Not me. 

Just like many kids born today

Will have jobs that don’t even exist yet-

I always knew I would be better

At saving and investing 

Once I was mature (old?) enough

To control my impulses. 

And get my life’s work out of the way. 

Something about figuring our

My purpose and the meaning of life. 

Plus I didn’t have the mental energy 

To invest - in investing. 

Getting an hourly wage

Will hardly make a great retirement. 

Yes- a good one. 

But to make it great, 

You need to add control it yourself. 

Don’t listen to these idiots. 

You’ll lose your mind. 

And absolutely nothing happens

On May 19. Yesterday. 

Nothing. What’s with the headline? 

It goes up. 

It goes down. 

So what? HODL! 

And in one day- boom!

Back up. 

Do we really think it will go to zero? 

So I’ve worked hard through COVID 

Like 6 and 7 days a week. 

Sometimes I would sleep 

On the floor after work- because 

There was no time to go home between shifts. 

There were no good answers. 

They say they expect 100,000,000

One Hundred Million new cases

This fall and winter. 

So I finally FINALLY 

Got a nurse to cover a day for me. 

I want 2 days off in a row. 

One day for resting. 

One day for errands. 

Staring next week, I get my wish!
