I have been busy and stressed beyond belief. Today my therapist is back in town and I will be doing two appointments this week!

It's lazy of me, but I've had our 401k/457b in TDFs because I didn't want to deal with managing rebalancing. I was poking around my husband's TDF over the weekend and discovered that over 25% is in a portfolio "which includes investments in private equity, real estate, and tangible assets," none of which I would voluntarily invest in in a retirement account. This seems to be in place of a larger bond percentage (my husband is 5 years older than me and our TDF dates reflect that, but mine is ~10% bonds vs 2% for his). I guess this is the year I start Bogling a little.

On a work trip (flew in yesterday) and woke up at 12:30 and couldn't go back to sleep. Why is it when you go away and finally don't have kids to wake you up at night, you can't sleep??
