Bedding on change
Yeah, I am really annoyed I missed the round number, my OCD is punishing me.
That is my car ticking over to 150,000 kilometres in the 9 years I have owned it. Not so much driving but considering it is mostly around the local city, a fair bit of time. I am looking forward to one day getting another car but I am determined to make it through to an electric.
Let's see.
I am in bed but trying not to fall asleep as my wife is restless and I don't want to wake her with my snoring - she is a light sleeper.
She just sat up in her sleep and said, "There's some spiders or something". - I am quite arachnophobic, so that'll work to keep me awake.. thanks dear.
I have been waiting til she falls asleep lately no matter how tired I am so that she has the best chance of getting some decent rest. That way, she also has the best chance of completing her master's thesis and graduating. I really can't wait as it has hung over our entire relationship meaning, she hasn't started her career because of it. It should be easier for her to take a decent job that she can invest herself into.
I think she will be happier working as she will be less dependent on others to do things for her. I think she would like to spend more time with us too as we haven't had a family weekend since Summer last year when @galenkp was visiting.
We are lucky of course though as we both have the ability to work and neither of us have to beg for a job or do work that is soul sucking or demeaning.
For me, work is an important part of identity and even though the job doesn't matter, how I feel about the work I do does matter. Like I mentioned tonight, I don't care about my reputation counter on Steem but, my reputation is something based on my content and behaviour. My work in the world is content and action too and I have to be willing to accept what I do and still look at myself in the mirror. Doing it for money dove of not enough now.
There is still a long way to go before I am in the position to live the way I plan but hopefully, it doesn't take another 150,000 kilometres.
For now (spiders in the bed or not) I have to sleep. Night.

Maybe you need to find a way to stop snoring? XD
Preferably not the way I stop my partner from snoring (THWACK).
It's very considerate of you but you need to sleep too :) I don't know how master's theses work, is there an end date or does she just finish when she finishes?
At these heights of the game. I've concluded that what @tarazkp really needs. As to be able to finally enjoy a good rest without snoring never again whatsoever is:
And then, he is done!! :)
Catching flies with chopsticks is my go to expertise.
Oh! terrific!! then you are on the right track. Thus, just after a couple of lessons of vernacular Venezuelan spanish... and you'll be resting & sleeping like a silent baby in a jiffy. :)
Yes. But in the meantime, perhaps she can learn to sleep through it. After all, I sleep through her housework.
same here.
Yeah, it is coming to an end but her lecturer wanted her to include some new theory... when it was already 2/3rds done. It meant an entire rework. Hopefully by the end of May she is finished.
Seems like she getting into that final stretch which is often the most difficult. Can’t wait to see the enjoyment when your family is able to experience the fruits of sacrifice and the stories that they will inspire for many!

It is not too far away but she is pretty stressed by it all whereas I am more, a pass is good enough :D
It is going to be pretty weird when she is done, it has been forever.
It is not gonna take a long time i believed that. Very soon
