So I should have posted this before I left so instead of what I'm about to do I'll just go over what I just did - The wife and I just officially hiked to the summit of Pike's Peak this last week! Wednesday-Friday to be specific. Took 3 days total, 2 going up and 1 going down. 13 miles one way, 26 miles round trip. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g33537-d12713610-Reviews-Barr_Trail_to_Pikes_Peak-Manitou_Springs_El_Paso_County_Colorado.html It kicked our asses though, that's for sure! Not in the shape we used to be. Definitely want to tackle more, so we're starting to go for more hikes, and work our way back up to where we were just 10 years ago. Getting old sucks, but what sucks even worse? Getting passed going uphill to Pike's Peak, by 70 & 80 year olds. Seriously, I lost count of how many, obviously 65+ year olds actually passed us like we weren't even moving, on the way up the mountain. That's how I wanna be when (if) I get that age!

Maybe go to Planet Fuck This, I mean Planet Fitness. Oops. Need coffee.

~~~~~ Wait, what? With as hot as it has been, that sounds like it would have been a great idea. Or did it interfere with something?

Sometimes sleep can be a scary thing. I passed out so hard at 4:54pm today. Yesterday wiped me out with rentals, appointments and helping a lost dog get back home. Fortunately, I found him on Facebook and contacted the owners and he was picked up before nightfall. But I think I totally overdid it and paid for it today in the middle of handling business. Thankfully it was some work at home stuff. I definitely do not like being that kind of tired. It's like the World could end and I'd wake up afterwards trying to find out what happened.

Happy! The behavioral health hospital offered me a job for almost double what I've made with my bachelor's in the past,. I told her before I accepted that I vape and used nicotine patches and she said that's not a problem. They don't even test for thc which I don't use but I was so happy when I found out about the nicotine. Now just pending background check.

~~~~~ Stay positive. Things will work out.

You're so right! The substance abuse job something happened there HR person must have quit or got fired so they pulled all the positions, reposted a few none that was what I was offered than tried to offer me a weekend only job or one that was all the way in Plymouth. I said no thank you..they didn't keep me posted and I had to email three times like um, hello before they actually told me there was a new HR person. That showed me all I needed to know about them.

Shove some pizza in my face then chase a cat.

Just be careful not to fall into the money chasing trap. It may pay better, but if you're going to be miserable the entire time, it's not worth the few extra dollars.
