Well this is relatively recent. I'd like, ideally, to make them sever me and get my 32 weeks and counting of severance. And in the past, every time I thought about leaving, I wound up glad I stayed. However, I'm going to have a stern conversation with my manager at our next 1-1, which may also be mid-year review time.
If I were to change jobs, I'd rather time it such that I can just be unemployed during the process of moving to CO and handle all that for AG, then find something after all of that is done.
The boss convo will be interesting. If she demurs, that tells me all I need to know about my future there. If I can wrangle a promotion and real raise, well, I'll take it and see if it works out. After all, the severance is based on final pay... if I take it and fail, all the better.
I say that, but of course failing sucks.

I think the amount that I get “paid” from Medicare and insurance for my services is reasonable. The problem is, after paying staff and expenses etc. I get only about 40%. Sad.

The one thing I will say, as a manager of a group, is that we are often constrained in what we can do, and this we can end up in a situation were we want to promote somebody, but the higher ups won't agree, and you find yourself stuck - you've got somebody you think deserves more but you can't get it for them, and you can't tell them you tried, because that's kind of a dick move, trying to make yourself look good without actually helping them.
But, yeah. If the company won't pay you for the job you're doing.....

It may not be her fault, but that also doesn't put an obligation on me.

I do understand that. The reality is that my manager will likely not be able to get anything done even in the best case until the end of the year and effective in... March. And if that's the case, there's a very small chance I won't just be timing my notice.
It may not be her fault, but that also doesn't put an obligation on me.

That’s great! I remember when she was feeling all snake-bit and shaky after that fall. Really happy to hear!

As for BB, my wife opted for a T47 ceramic bearing BB.

We avoid a lot of sketchy roads that we used to ride without thinking anything about it. Luckily, both of us have pretty good balance yet.

Yeah, the bones. I’m doing one solid day a week of weights with an emphasis on squats, deads, and other moves that load the hips and spine, and I’m trying for 150g of protein a day. I’ve put on a couple of lbs this year and would like 5. I also hope not to test the theory.

If she’s ready to buy a fancy new bike she’s doing great. Balance is highly trainable and should not be a big problem for active people.
