Wednesday in Nashville!

 It's March 1. And so commences my birthday month. I'm feeling like a baddie. Nothing is going to get me down! Nope, no jinxes. 

I don't believe in you!

I turn 39 this month and in about 10 days!!!

Whoa!

So suck it, white woman who was clutching her purse. You look twenty and you're wearing a half shirt.. I'm pretty sure you have no money. Suck it, married people, good luck untangling your finances when your marriage ends!

Suck it, Mean Brain. You can go hide in a corner where you belong.

It definitely feels better to make other people small. Why else would people do it.

Suck it to all my friends who decided to be friends with other people. May you never know anyone as awesome as me. Suck it to all prime mates who never ever see me. I hope your skinny white wife murders you. 

Yeah, I said it. What are you going to do about it?! 

Oh yeah, nothing.

Just like nothing will ever happen to all the people who wrong all the people. 

Nothing ever happens.

You go to therapy. Or you don't. And life moves on whether you like it or not.

That's just life. That's all we're reduced to now.

What...you didn't get your dream x,y,z...that's just life.

That person did x,y,z to you...that's just life.

Oh well.

I refuse to be burdened by the world's problems.

My burgers finally came last night. And hope against all hope, they were delivered right to my door. I didn't have to worry about what to wear or run into a ghastly human. Nope, I cracked open my door and they were right there!

It happened exactly the way I wanted. Rare, these days.

And even though I thought I could wait. After an hour or two, my stomach decided it was hungry and I made the burgers.

I didn't have ketchup and I thought I'd hyped them up too much. But nope...still good! I don't know what they put in that meat, but it's the simplest recipe and it's so yummy!

Even the fries with fry seasoning. I thought since the pan was crowded it would be mushy and soft. And they were soft, but they still had nice flavor and a chewy texture. Yummy!

Has anything ever tasted soooo good?!

I think today I might get a soda and/or an icee since the frose of yesterday was a bust. I was thinking since it's a hot day I might get the vegan ice cream.

But honestly vegan ice cream sucks. It doesn't taste like ice cream.

I feel like today's my birthday even though it's not really. But dude, I'm like 39, man. And I'm unofficially retired living in my backwater town. 

I'm going to toss those weird Kroger cookies I bought that I suspect is making my farts smell really bad and my gut bubble.

Stop hurting yourself, dummy!

F those dudes who don't see what I have to offer.

F everyone.

It's my time.

How does that song go....my time is now!

I want to run around and celebrate. But I'll keep that in my head for now.

Dude I made it.

I was sick for two months while working on 2 demanding projects.

And today I feel free and hopeful.

I made it to bonus day. I was hoping there was a glitch and our bonus amounts were posted, but nada. I have to wait for this meeting tomorrow.

And then I can apply for that glorious $900 Chase bonus. Super pumped!

Did I already say I'm not applying for the Chase card just yet. I know that's sacrilege if you want to be a real churner. But in the immediate future, I need to get that AA card.

I reached FI last year around this time.

This time I'm striving for EI...emotional independence. It's all a mindset change. 

And just like FI, reaching EI is the beginning of the journey...or at least a new journey.

I'm accidental EI. I was thrust here. I had to be emotionally independent because there's no one left to take care of me.

I was panicked about spending $2k to be alone in Nashville, but I'm also lucky. I can afford to spend $2k to be alone in Nashville!

See how that works. Same facts, different packaging. Isn't that what it means to be American. Repackaging. 

You can just make up rules. 

I was bummed that my free week in Wilmington fell through, which means this time away was even more expensive, but oh well.

Because now that I came, I don't feel as strongly about immediately going on another trip. Woot!

And as for my sweats....the cause of days of panic. Amazon has kindly returned what I didn't pick up and is refunding my money..automatically. No clicks! I love when technology works.
