Retirement Ready

I did something today that smacks me sideways with its adultness.

I set up an IRA. I have been pondering on it for a bit. I haven't had any plan for retirement until now. I haven't really thought about it.

It is the future. I think of it as the Future. As it is this island out in the Pacific somewhere that I will eventually maybe end up on. Right now I am thinking of the omlette I had for dinner just about 30 minutes ago. Not my life in 30 years. I look at it the same way I do public speaking. That it will never happen. : ) They couldn't possible want me to speak. Oh no, it's happening and I know I planned but it could never be enough.

The only future I see right now and have seen ever is B. I see us two white haired fools. Him still hugging me just as he does now and me teasing him just as I do now.

He may have to go away in mid summer. For a week. His boss volunteered him for the mission of going to another district office and checking over their work. I asked him to put in for Washington DC. He wants me to come with. And I want to come with. I haven't been away from him since we started living together.

Oh and speaking of away, it is planned. We are cruising again in February. YAY! Major major YAY! We are both looking forward to it as an anniversary thing. I had hoped that we would be able and we are going to the Bahamas again. I am hoping this can become our February thing. Just because we both enjoy it so much.

Good night and look forward.
