It's done!

 I picked up my check! And in 5 business days, I will be 40k richer!!

So many feelings!

I got bacon and eggs and sparking juice to celebrate. Yum! Living the high life here.

It's all sinking in slowwwwwwwwwwwwly. I think with each passing minute, I feel an invisible burden lifted.

I will celebrate myself. Punctuate my own moment. I am a little happy I am having this moment to myself.

Wow! 

I was deliberating on which bank to use to avoid a hold but I just double checked one of my other banks and they do a hold on amounts over $25k, so I feel better.

Yasssssss!

It's a sweet feeling but only as I type this.

It was rainy and I had to do city driving, but all is well, friends! All is well!

I feel amazing!

I think tomorrow I need to follow up with my mortgage servicer and cancel home owner's insurance. And I think that's it folks!

I'm freeeeeeeeeee!

Work is still being silly about our July workshop but I remain largely unconcerned. I can't think of what I want to watch to celebrate this personal victory.

Also I have a phone screen on Friday. It's fun just to dream about what it would be like to have a second stream of income. 

Right now, without setting a goal...more of a projection, I would like to comfortably be at $650k by the end of the year. If I were to dream out loud...with a second job... I could probably be at $700k by the end of the year.

But I'm quite happy with $650k by years end. As when the check clears, I'll be nearly there.

My bacon is sizzling. My cinnamon rolls are aromatic.

It's a good cozy day to be me!

Oh, one thing I've been forgetting to include here - I'm phasing out of the accumulation portion of my life in many areas... I'm looking at you household goods. I have earrings and even a box of paper towels that I was just holding onto waiting for some unknown special moment. Just hoarding. But with FORTY YEARS of data, that day isn't coming.

So I'm using all my special plates, forks, knives, ziploc bags, and fancy clothes. I will use as I feel. I am the special event. Gosh, darn! 

So look for those changes upcoming.

Time for bacon!
