2018... it’s my year of change

Well... 2018 started a lot like 2017 ended. Some uncertainty, as I was wondering if Carolyn had actually stopped talking to me or was just consumed with being at her parent’s (spoiler alert: she stopped talked to me), and wondering how people would take that I was getting a new job. This is only the third employer that I’ll have (full time and not including all the other jobs I’ve had), and the first time that I left on my terms. This job is what I should be, as I move to 40, and a big raise while I’m in my prime money making years. It’s an opportunity that I have to take, for me, but I’m leaving behind a bunch of people that I really like. This is possibly the biggest change the biggest change that I’ll have all year, and it’s happenjng in February.

Some other small changes, that I’ve already started are:

• Getting a new mattress and upgrading to a queen sized bed
• Bagging up a bunch of clothes and donating them
• Cleaning out the basement, to get prepared to finish it
• Upgrading  to iPhone X
• Ending my refereeing career

Some other changes that are planned for this year:

• Finishing the basement (bathroom, bar, studio space, etc.)
• Buying a new car
• Travel to see some soccer

What you won’t see here is finding someone to date. I’ve all but given up on that. If something happens, then great, but it seems like a waste of time to me... when I have some many changes planned to make me better, my house better, or just to make me happy. I’ve always seen myself as being single into my 40’s anyway, so now is just the time to bug a Porchse for myself... I guess.
