I realise this is a bold move after so much time away from the monkey but is just about 6 AM....

The smoke from wild fires cleared out yesterday so I'm going to work early so I can hit the trails by 3 today. I say trails because the are 2, one on each side of the river and both are less than 10 minutes from my house.

Other than that I have no productive plans. If time allows I might look for a rock to crawl up but that's not a high priority.

As pleased as I am for the return of our most esteemed Serial Midget, I must humbly request that the correct GMT Thread title format be followed.

first day of school today. other than the bus being 40 minutes late, it was all right. my son seemed happy, he's got the same group of kids in his class as he did last year. same teacher too, except she's sick, so it's a supply teacher.

work. is work.

waiting for new bike parts coming from all over the world! woohoo.

So my darling Kona May turns 11 this month! She is the more active of our two dogs, but because she has work dog mentality and pushes herself harder than she is able (plus she has had multiple surgeries on one of her legs), I don't take her on most runs or bike rides anymore. It was a really sad decision and I hate it. BUT. Last night, I swear she begged me to take her and would NOT take no for an answer (that's my girl!) with the rolling on her back and playing and jumping around and looking at me with those dang puppy eyes... so I did :) And she rocked it! I'm hoping this means I can take her more often! 11 is going to be her year!!

Wifey wants a new, bigger house. Because for the three of us a 4br it too small... Found the perfect house size, finish, yard, two 2-car garages, on a cul-de-sac, .5 acre lot, good schools, etc. Only $40k more than we can sell our house for, perfect. Doesn't like it because it's not in Highlands Ranch.

Sounds like you have found a solid avoidance strategy.

You have to hand it to her: this is a preemptive confiscation of your pending raise. Well done.

:D

I shall impart my wisdom on this topic: Don't do it. Bigger house = bigger house problems. 4 bedroom for 3 people? Sheer luxury.

I know it won't matter... but remember it when the big house problems hit.

You don't need to remind me. We have PLENTY of space, imho. It just needs to be used better. I'm going to be doing some reorganizing while she is gone, just to see how it works out.

We are in a 2200sf 4-br. It's too big. But at this point, I don't want to be any closer to the children. But downsizing is happening as SOON as is feasible. Probably after the 2nd kid vacates.

You should be switching to a position with less hours in this case. Emulate Shared Skittles in his early days…
