A quick look at my calendar this morning reminded me that today is a red-letter day. At the top of today's date I long ago scribbled the word CLEARANCE! and a very happy smiley face.
Today marks a work anniversary for Boris. And, it's an important one. Today, Boris vests in one of his employee retirement plans. So, that chunk of money that was off limits can now be his. (Well, ours!) Of course, he has to leave his job and get a few years older before we can touch it without penalty, but you get the idea.
So the word at the top of my calendar page has significance. To others, it might signify a not-to-miss department store sale. But, to Boris and me, it means that from this day forward either one or both of us has clearance to quit our jobs -- No questions asked.
We probably won't quit today. After all, Boris still isn't feeling well and it's his anniversary. And, I'm knee deep in this monster project. (Thanks for the good wishes, lovely readers!)
But, it's so nice to know we can!

You have reached an important milestone, and I'm very happy for you. With the knowledge that you can just drive off into the future comes a great sense of freedom.
YEAH for Boris!!!...You guys are getting there, one milestone at a time!!!
Natasha,
You got me there for a minute. I saw the word "Clearance" and started on my way to the Outlet Mall! :-)
Boris' horse has cleared a huge hurdle. Now for some chicken soup so he can get back into the pink.
Seriously, we are thinking of you guys. You are on the way now!!
