Thankful Thursday

[mdlbear]

It's actually Thursday, and today I an thankful for...

• Free drinks (courtesy of $WORK's team event).
• Commuting by bus. See above.
• My therapist. It isn't so much about therapy as having someone to talk to who can point out that things aren't as wretched as they feel.
• Bernie Sanders.
• Walking, and finding that my self-talk isn't completely toxic this time.
• Belize.
• My kids. Who are turning out to be very nice people, even if it is unlikely that they'll be able to support me in my old age.
• The cats, and especially Ticia. Except when they're walking on my keyboard.

Belize?

Now I'm curious!

Oh, and by the way-- HUGS!

Thank you for being amazing-- you are one of the 'things' I am most thankful for, and you should know that.

Oh. Thank you! *hugs*

When I retire, we won't be able to afford our house. So we're looking at tiny houses, and places to put them. Belize is an amazingly cheap place to live. And a fascinating place in general.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!

(Wipes drool away before it hits keyboard.)

Checks utterly empty calendar for 2018 or later--- Yeah, I think I could squeeze out time to visit, and finally meet you in person after you retire to paradise!

LOL. (Not unless invited, really! But I used to mock-threaten to hide in Dad's luggage when HE retired, for similar reasons.)

It sounds like a GREAT idea. Would you be looking at one of the bigger cities, or a more tourist-driven town?

No need to wait until then -- the house is always open!

We'd be looking at semi-rural areas within a short drive of a city, and away from the beach. (It's cooler at higher altitudes, and cheaper.)

GRIN- and the view may be a better selling point for you than a beach, even beachfront, would be.
