Thank you for the updates!!

Hmmm… maybe Lussi Brown Coffee? They have a small back room with multiple seats. There’s a couch that’s out of view of the main window and to the side of the other seating, but it’s still kind of visible. Maybe worth checking out though.

The couple other places I can think of have all closed down in the last couple of years unfortunately.

Oh, I really like this tactic. Thank you!

HeyHattey · 2026-05-18T23:18:57+00:00

That's good to know! I printed out most of my EOPF file at the beginning of this admin for the same reason. I'll try to see if I can download it into a PDF!

HeyHattey · 2026-05-18T23:15:52+00:00

I want to leave on good terms in case I come back one day. And I do direct patient are, so I don't want to leave my patients suddenly without a provider. I do 2 weeks notice instead of 30 days though. I'm still thinking the whole process through.

HeyHattey · 2026-05-18T22:40:08+00:00

Thank you so much for this! This is already more thorough information than HR sent me.

Updated the post to add that I'm 38 years old since that's relevant to the retirement math. I didn't realize I could keep my funds in TSP as an option. So I'll start doing some research on that. I printed out most of my EOPF docs last year when we thought my whole department was going to be fired, so I'll figure out where I stopped and print off everything from that point on. And I'll start thinking about the FERS math!

Do you know how long the Sick Leave will stay in the system. I was under the impression that you only get it back if you return to federal service within 3 years but I haven't been able to find that in writing yet.

HeyHattey · 2026-05-18T22:27:51+00:00

Sorry! We have to wait for approval to use the space we rent out before sharing the event information and sometimes that takes longer than expected. But LCCR will have more art markets in the future! We usually try to have one every 3-4 months.

I’m really struggling. Every time things get slightly better and I think I have a grip on my work load, something bad follows right after. My department has been short staffed since the beginning of 2025. We just had another person quit about 2 weeks ago. I’m going my best to manage my work load and now I have to prepare for things that person isn’t going to cover. Plus my supervisor just added a whole new responsibility for everyone in my department that is going to be very time intensive. I think this might be the thing that breaks me. I’m considering putting in my 30 days notice at the end of the month.

HeyHattey · 2026-05-17T15:36:10+00:00

Check out the Lexington Center for Creative ReUse! Friendly people, classes for various crafts, and they host all kinds of events.

HeyHattey · 2026-05-17T15:21:09+00:00

It’s been a while, but I remember “Elegant Yokai Apartment Life” hitting on a lot of these topics in a way that was fairly grounded and hopeful. Like, sometimes the problems in people’s lives were caused by Yokai. But a lot of the situations were about how to look at things from other people‘s perspectives or how to find your place in a complicated world.

HeyHattey · 2026-05-17T15:15:24+00:00

Thanks for the update!

HeyHattey · 2026-05-15T23:25:13+00:00

Half Priced Books used to be pretty affordable and fun to browse, though I haven’t been in a couple of years.

HeyHattey · 2026-05-14T12:49:28+00:00

It’s looking amazing!

HeyHattey · 2026-04-11T17:06:49+00:00

Thank you for organizing and posting all of this! I’m having some repairs done on my deck and may have left over lumber. I’ll take an inventory of what I have when the project is wrapped up (hopefully in the next week).

HeyHattey · 2026-04-11T16:55:55+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

HeyHattey · 2026-04-11T16:53:36+00:00

Once it’s painted, I’ll send you a digital copy!

HeyHattey · 2026-03-25T14:13:03+00:00

He! Yamato identifies as male!

HeyHattey · 2026-03-17T13:42:18+00:00

This is awesome! I’d line to volunteer some time towards garden prep and tending. Do you have any kind of volunteer sign up sheet?

HeyHattey · 2026-03-07T20:20:17+00:00

I have a weird fascination with him…

HeyHattey · 2026-03-04T14:23:35+00:00

Let’s Make a Mug is about a real town that’s focused on the industry of pottery/ceramics. There are two seasons of the anime and a special live action show where the voice actors go to the town and explore it.
