Pookey sure was glad we set our clocks back an hour yesterday. He got to sleep in an extra hour (23 vice 24 hours).

He's doing well. I take him for his six month check-up the first part of December (he's 18 now). He's been doing well, no issues whatsoever so far. But, I always hold my breath until I get back from the vets. SOMETHING is bound to show up at some point.

I am going back to get my Bachelor's Degree in January. It has been 23 years since school! I have an Associate's and some credits from the Air Force, so I am about halfway done with a Bachelor's in Management. I want to get one now for promotion potential, but since it will take a while one class at a time (I work very long hours and can't really take more than that), my main motivator is for income when I retire.

I don't have a "pension" plan, I am relying on my 401K. With a Bachelor's Degree, you can make $75 a day substitute teaching. They have a lot of openings. It would sure supplement my income and not be a full-time commitment. I am 13 years away from retiring, but it might take me that long to get the degree, LOL.

My first class is Algebra in January. Goodness... I will probably dread this decision...

Hope all is well with you guys as we head into the holidays. We're cutting back this year quite a bit. A lot of layoffs in the family, etc. We're all helping each other out as we can. I hope you all are doing well.
