What about you? What's on your goal list for April?
February and March were both goal busts for me, but I feel entering April, motivated. Im eager to read about your work exit strategy. You've described a brutal travel schedule and lack of balance. I know you'll figure things out. I hope Mrs work has been more positive.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed for April, for you! I'm not looking forward to London in a week and a half or whatever it is. But, it is what it is and I'm trying to focus on how to reduce pain for the trip. Fingers crossed. M likes the company a lot, but is not a fan of his people manager. She is pretty high maintenance. He is hoping to shift around internally, once he hits the one year mark. - HP
DeleteLooks like you have some good goals. I should investigate the massage thing! I have determined I will also get regular pedicures.
ReplyDeleteMassages can be really great if you have chronic problems with your back, hips, etc. - HP
DeleteWith your preexisting condition, I'm curious to know what your plans are for health care during retirement but before Medicare. That is the biggest thing holding us back!
ReplyDeleteGood question. M plans to work a bit longer, so we would go under his health insurance. After that, we would buy a plan from Covered California, which is the open marketplace for a plan. we have a reasonably large HSA that we would use for out of pocket expenses (you cannot use your HSA for a plan, other than COBRA, per my understanding). - HP
DeleteSounds like good goals, I hope you meet them all. I was down two pounds when I weighed in this morning, so I'm happy.
