Etsom·ni·a (/etˈsämnēə/), noun, 1. a sleep disorder caused by obsessive Etsy browsing. 2. The surprising arrival of weird handmade merchandise ordered when one is only half conscious. (True story.) 3. An excuse for me to be an obnoxious, snarky New Yorker once per week.
As I promised yesterday, I have an announcement: As of today, after 30 years (and 2 weeks) with my firm, I am officially retired! Don’t worry, I’m not ready for the rocking chair to get me. It will come as no surprise that I’m embarking on a career in real estate. More on that another day.
So since I’m finally going to earn my AARP membership (say what you will – the discounts are fantastic!), this week’s Etsomnia™ is all about…. drum roll please… The Golden Girls! It’s part nod to my friend LT, who I will miss a lot, and part gleeful looking forward. I had a great time doing this search, and I found a lot to love!
If anyone is looking for me, I’ll be on the lanai with a cocktail…
For more Etsy fun, check out all my weekly Etsomnia™ posts!

Welcome to retirement! Congratulations! The best thing about retirement is filling your schedule with things you want to do, rather than have to do. Enjoy!

I watched their TV show two or three times. As I aged, I lost interest in Comedies. I also don’t do SiFi. I retired from 23 years in the US Navy in 1982. I retired from contractor work, doing the same job as I did in the Navy in 1996. I retired from consultant work in 2003. From all, I know real estate work is as much or as little as you want. You are FREE to do what you want to do. I totally enjoy it. I hope you do also. — Hal

Congratulations on your retirement! I am thrilled for you and excited to see what this next stage of life brings for you.
Not going to lie: I kind of love those Golden Girls nutcrackers. I actually hate nutcrackers, hate them, but my mother-in-law collects them and that somehow infected one of my children so now we are accumulating nutcrackers every holiday season. It’s a tradition I guess. So my love-loathe relationship with the things means these have an odd appeal to me.
I totally love the magnet. That is so witty while also serving a practical purpose. I mean, you would think the other residents of my house would know whether dishes were clean or dirty by looking at them but apparently that doesn’t always prove to be the case.

Thank you for the well wishes!
I’m sometimes guilty of not noticing the dishes are clean until I’ve befouled them with something used.
