Wendy's - yeah gotta love it.
But onto the irony. As the fates would have it, we found out around 10 a.m. Friday that Friday (that Friday) would be Jon's last day. His disability starts Monday. It was either that or take a demotion/pay cut on Tuesday. It was a no-brainer and his team lead was very supportive of his decision.
We made plans this weekend to just stay home and heal. Neither of us felt particularly outgoing given the circumstances. We're thinking of things Jon can do to keep him from being too bored until he settles into a lesser level of activity.
Enter the irony. His computer broke. OK, yes it's an older one. When I started having to bring work home all the time, we purchased me a new laptop with imbedded 10-key and he took my old one. It's been not wanting to charge for a while now; picky, finicky, and just plain stubborn.
So thankfully we have the Dell credit and for 20.00/month, we have a replacement one coming for Jon. He only has to limp long (all puns intended) for a week without it and using mine if he chooses.
Life. It's funny no? It's preferrable to the alternative - or so I've heard.
We're still making decisions on whether to hit his 401K and pay off the smaller bills leaving only the utilities, car payment (thankfully paid off next year) and house payment. Sadly, we shall be selling Baby - my 2002 Jeep Wrangler. She has 100K miles and honestly, Jon cannot even ride in it anymore, let alone drive it. Sad because she was the first brand new car I ever picked and paid for. Then again, she's a bit of a gas hog and his malibu - while I don't care for it - is more commuter friendly.
Sucks being an adult don't it?
I took that photo earlier this year. He's not hiding his face - he's gathering balance to get up and out of the car. If fortunes allow, when it comes time to trade in the Malibu, we shall look for a small sized SUV which is large enough for him to comfortably ride in yet small enough not to be a gas hog. They're easier for him to get into/out of.
