Done Since 2018-03-04

Things got done. Sorting the mail, enough to find the tax forms. Putting CDs on shelves. A sleep study (rescheduled from the 23rd). Making a budget spreadsheet. Finding out where the money has gone. Getting stomped by the elephant in the living room. Slacking. A lot of good reading research (c.f. [Lehrer53]). That kind of thing.

See userpic.

For some reason I don't seem to be nearly as panicked as my financial situation warrants - I have been retired for nearly 8 months, and I've been in deep denial over just how much money I've burned through during that time.

N starts a new job on Monday. That will help, but not enough. I could easily cover the shortfall by getting a job -- there are remote options out there and a lot of them look attractive. The problem is that they're all full-time, and given what else needs doing in the household I really don't want to work full time. (And that's assuming I could get one, which at my age isn't a given anymore.)

Not a happy bear at this point. And I'm going to owe a lot on my taxes, too, because I didn't set up enough withholding on my retirement income. Because denial and depression.
