Glad I can lighten your day, JVSXOXO. :ghi5:

My dubious sense of humor comes from a long life that offered two distinct paths. One was deadly earnest while the other was diligently finding the funny side of life.

Judging from your post, I think it’s fairly obvious which path I chose. :giggle:

Well done! I think most of us would benefit from more levity in life.

My Little Botkier camera bag has arrived. It comes with a matching leather crossbody strap as well as this striped guitar strap. I’m altogether happy with it.

I got a chuckle out of the color name … Malbec. Not the lovely Burgundy or Bordeaux, nor the generic Wine for this bag. No … it’s the clipped and a bit gruff sounding Malbec. Actually it’s my favorite Red which made the little guy irresistible.

It’s perfect, westvillage! :dothewave:

No girly bag this, your Malbec’s matching guitar strap compliments it perfectly! :drool:

:congrats:

I know what it was like when I turned in my keys, Narnanz. :hugs:

After twenty years of working at our local Community College, I cleared out my office, took my nameplate off the door, and handed in my keys to Campus Security. :police:

With a cursory glance at my small box of belongings, the Security Officer was somewhat surprised. :eek:

“This is all you’re taking with you?” she asked, knowing how long I’d been at the College. “After twenty years most people need a hand cart for all their stuff.” :sweatdrop:

“Well that’s the difference between them and me.” I shrugged. “I’ve always had a whole other life outside of work.” :sunnies:

And so do you, Narnanz. I have every confidence that your next chapter will offer you opportunities you may not have considered before. :thinking:

So enjoy this first day unfettered and unafraid. Only you know what adventures await. :ghi5:

Thank you Fim...I enjoyed the whole day....and I will enjoy today as well..
..going for a early morning bike ride along the beach boardwalk......going to pick up a handbag purchase at the courier depot.

Plus clean up my bedroom...its become a tip for the last few weeks.....just shows how on the outside I was all ok...but internally I was stressing.

And do battle with a rat...some how...we have no idea...one got in the house and has been living behind the fridge....one of the traps we set went off last night but we cant find it....will be moving furniture this morning to see where it is.

We’ve done similar battle with a rat, Narnanz. :hysteric:

Our solution was to “fight fire with fire” with Tabasco sauce and cayenne pepper to repel the intruder. :mad:
