The picture above is the sweet poster my wife made me on my last day of work. What I Miss About Going to Work…hmm. If my last job had been working at CVS, the answer would be not a damn thing. However, my last full-time job and current per diem position actually does provide a […]
Time to Travel: Black Mountain, NC
In early October, just before leaf peeping season really got going, we went to Black Mountain, NC with a couple of high school friends that flew out from Indiana. Literally, the only people from high school that I have any contact with outside of simply watching their lives via Facebook and giving an occasional like. […]
Time to Travel: Welcome to the Travel Recap Series
We have always made time to travel. We like to do one group trip to the beach, one group trip to the mountains, a trip to see family, then either an international trip of some sort or a snowboarding trip, with other small trips here and there. But now we have the time to take […]
A Typical Day In Post-FI Life (Day 4)
Many people are curious what I do with my time now that I’m working less. So here is a typical day. The morning plays out much like it did when I was working second shift with a few variations. First, since I’m not staying up as late, I am starting the day about two hours […]
Zero Dollar Days (Day 3)
This feels like cheating to use something previously written, but I stumbled across a blog that I started to set up on Google sometime around 2018 called Zero Dollar Days. I liked the look of it better than this site to be honest. Anyway, this is the only thing I had written there: “It’s been […]
The IPA of Friendship (Day 2)
It’s inevitable after college that the people you spent most of your time with likely scatter across the country and you will realistically only get together a handful of times in the years that follow. High school friends are an extra layer of scatter away having already gone to different schools for college. Maintaining long […]
Time Still Marches On Faster Than I’d Like (day 1)
November already. Starting today, I will be posting something daily. Let’s call it a 30 day challenge. For some reason, I can have an extremely productive morning yet feel like I didn’t accomplish anything. One day last week, I went to the gym, went to Trader Joe’s, made chili, met friends for lunch all before […]
Gooooooooooaaallll, Goooooooooooaaalll, Goals?
I am a man in need of a plan. I do not thrive on freedom of choice and unlimited time without a plan already in place. I can bumble through the day without ever heading toward any one goal. I need to discover my planning time. The few weeks where I actually printed out a […]
September Time Well Spent
September has been wonderful. I’ve worked 3 shifts so far and it is now September 20th. I have 3 more to go this month. It cannot be understated how much I enjoy not having to go to work. One day a week is fine. One day every other week, even better. Megan and I have […]
What do you do for work?
We are another week into my shift from full time pharmacist to very part time pharmacist and it is wonderful. We have gone on two nice hikes at two different state parks: Stone Mountain and Hanging Rock. The Mountain Loop Trail at Stone Mountain is the current leader for a more interesting hike, but Hanging […]
