Done yesterday (20120329 Th)

Really weird day. I ended up feeling thoroughly exhausted, almost certainly from stress rather than physical effort. I didn't even take a walk, though a dozen or so trips from my office to the shredder bin may have counted for something, and my back was complaining mightily by the end of the evening.

Took home the shelves I'd made to go under the desk, and the first of four boxes of Stuff. It'll have to be sorted again once it's at home, which is slightly grumpy-making.

(not) Forgetful Friday

I didn't exactly forget Thankful Thursday this week; I figured it might be sensible to wait and see what else I had to be thankful for. So, here we go:

• A good, long run at a good company.
• A final paycheck with over two weeks of vacation pay in it.
• Six months of severance pay, with full benefits.
• Moving to where there's no state income tax.
• Lots of fond goodbyes, and a card covered with good wishes.
• Early retirement, even if it's only hopefully for a few months.
• Renters for the house, at a rate that will cover the mortgage.
• Cope, including cope in a bottle.
• Little boxes.
