At 66¼, I’m ready to retire. Well, not retire exactly, but I’m for damn sure ready for some extra income. I have retired from housecleaning, though I still do organization. Yeah, I still work about 3 jobs. The downside here is that I have to fill out an application online. Not one of my best skills, so I have an in-person appointment as back up. It will be such a relief to not freak about money all the time. I don’t go many places, mostly stores, and appointments wherever. When I do go, I wear a mask. I have been waiting excitedly for some maskhole to ask me why I’m wearing a mask. I’ve had all kinds of witty rebuttals ready, as well as the simple “I have Covid” as a response. When someone did ask me the other day in a grocery store, I was caught off guard and ended up blurting out the same thing I would say to any stranger trying to talk to me. Without hesitation, I said “Fuck off!” No downside there at all.
