The Stars and the Cookie Jar

I'm tired, so I'mma use small words and hope no one takes offense.

I thank everyone for their reservations, concerns and good wishes. My brain thanks you too.

I'm not packing up and flitting to DC tomorrow. Getting an intermarket transfer at my level with the Company takes about six months, when Holiday stands in the way.

I'm not getting married tomorrow. Minhag in my family is a year's engagement with shidduchs.

Yes, that still matters to me.

I'm not concerned about not seeing her often. I come from the land of arranged bloody marriages, bloody well see above.

I have not taken leave of my brain.

Just my heart, that's in DC.

Good night, and thank you, and the thank you's are sincere.
