things that have been happening that have not been public

I am keeping the details OFF of FACEBOOK.
IF you respect me, you will do the same. Thanks.
Feel free to comment here, etc etc etc.

There are instructions and consequences to ignoring the instructions. 
Feel free to do whatever the fuck that you want. But later, when you do not like the consequences, I will direct you to 

I am FINE. 
Please do not ask HOW I am doing, that makes me FEEL BAD. 

IF you have been to my house or slept in my bed or I have known you forever, feel free to bother me in private, calls and messages. 
Details will happen when details are available. etc. 

I am FINE. 
I have known about this for a while, and been preparing and getting my mind right. 

"What are you going to do??" 
Nothing, "planning" a LOT of time off, down time. 
"BUT" 
Please stop asking, you KNOW that I fucking share EVERYTHING on facebook, why do you think that .. 
"random text messages" 
oh my god 


My severance includes health and dental during the severance period. 
I am FINE. 
IF you are "worrying" about me, STOP RIGHT NOW. 
Worry about the people that trump is murdering. 

Current thoughts are Colorado for a month of ... nothing. 
Hiking, golf, friends and family, ...
This idea might still happen if I choose to MOVE.
But for now, sheltering in PLACE.

26 fucking years, the same boss, the same company, dozens of different ceos and owners.
This is going to take a long time to completely process.
In the end, I have to decide WHO I am and what and where and when and why and how.
Asking me about those things is a STRESS
People who STRESS me will ... Consequences.

One clear thing is that I will be playing.
I need to work on some certifications if I am going to work again.
Another option is retiring.
Another is .... shrug

I have an infinite number of options.
