So the clock turns and the world spins and here we are, back where we started a year ago.

Someone said that resolutions for the new year are pointless — just do it already, regardless of the dates on the calendar.

Must agree with that.

The financial situation has not really improved / just swapped some debts for some different debts / but – in fairness to self – unanticipated costs and expenses keep cropping up, way beyond predicted.

Half and theKid moved cross country, and RT flights ain’t zackly cheap.  Next steps are still in question … stay here or move there, make the familial unit whole again.  Not that Half and other half have split – no no, one of us got to die – but opportunities on the other end of the nation are better for theKid, so … do what one must, always.

Not sure what the two thousand and the 26 has in store, not sure about next Tuesday actually, fairly unresolved all around, which doth sucketh.  Wanted to be way further along on the debt-free journey … feels like the path is one of the flat escalators in the airport – slow stays right – yet headed in the opposite direction.

Life is full of booger rn. 

Still hopeful tho’, cuz’ the alternative is in a locked case upstairs in the back of the bedroom closet. 
Doan like them options.  {Exodus 20:13}  Methinks that includes oneself. 

As conveyed to theKid … Life is just a bad movie … stay to the end, might get better. 
Doubtful and not guaranteed, but won’t know until the credits roll.

So … ready to grab some kettlecorn, dim the lights, and recline the seat. 

May 2026 be less interesting, more prosperous, and filled with unexpected upsides for us all. 

Let’s go.
