Monday Stuff On the Way to Other Stuff: Who Needs Stability?!

The past few weeks have been really freaky. Now that our plans are changing, it makes sense not to worry about the future. 

At least, not right now.

I have faith in the King and my family. My weaknesses...as well as my strengths. I know what I can do -- and what I can't. 

So it's just continue to clear out the house, plus work on appraisal reports (and a book proposal for a Ghosts & Legends sequel!). And behave myself. 

For now. 

Meanwhile:

If you're thinking about retiring, plan to build in some 'cushions.' Trust me -- these are important.  (From Thrifty Gal)

     Or do what I did, years ago, on a very bad day -- burst into tears. Our girlies, who were walking home from school and saw me stopped, also burst into tears. The poor policeman didn't know what to do with three crying females, I'm guessing -- and let me go.

Big-time bitcoin hackers who stole millions. Do they look sorry for what they did? Naaah. Rather pleased with themselves, actually.

'Have you ever had a bad feeling about a place, then got out of there -- fast?' Some intensely creepy answers, thanks to Quora.
     My own feelings on this subject -- God gave you instinct for a purpose. Pay attention; you won't regret it. The only times I've had regrets were because I didn't listen to that small voice!
