super year so far

while i am in absolute and total denial that it's almost may, and my 37th birthday, the year has treated me well so far .. is it terrible that i am sort of waiting for it to end tragically? i'm so black and white.

work has been superb ... it's like everything i've been working for during the past 5 years has finally come to fruition. all of the sudden, everything is perfect. and yet, there are looming clouds of change overhead ... one way or another i will have different responsibilities by the year's end ... i have to figure out how to anniversary the largest bonus i've received since 2001, and whether or not we're going to move. and if we move, will it be within california or another state? i really could live in chicago at a moment's notice. joe's job is flexible, so really, there are some big decisions ahead ... and if we stay, when am i going to find the time to finish remodeling the shack?

well, i guess that's enough pondering for one morning ... i'm off to kick some ass and take some names.
