It's Official!
Well I am officially retired,I turned in my badge and was done about 10:15 this morning after my exit interview.Going to take a week off to go visit a step-sister and I'm going to do a craft project, making a gazing ball with colored stones on a bowling ball,then I will start to declutter a house we have lived in for 32 years oh the stuff I have in drawers,closits and under the stairs!
One good thing, I can take my time. I joined a club and was a good one for saying I was to tired when I got home from work to go, so now I am looking forward to starting swimming at least a couple of times a week.In the fall I would like to start to do meals on wheels again,I found that I loved that years ago when I did it.
Hope eveyone has a good weekend
Hugzzzz

Re: It's Official!
Congratulations Rodie. I highly recommend retirement. I tell everyone that if I had known retirement was this much fun, I would have done it straight out of college and would have skipped the 30 years of working!!!
Enjoy,

Re: It's Official!
I feel so fortunate that I could have retired at age 55 (4 years ago) with 30 years Civil Service. But retirement means living on half of what you were making when working, and I can always thing of something else that will need to be replaced first. Oh well, maybe 2012???

Re: It's Official!
Rodie Congrat's I am going to pop your bubble. You will find with retirement that there is less hour's in the day than when you worked. I don't know why but it just happens. I am busier now than before I retired. But I do have fun being busy. As for the de clutter good luck it took a move to semi-declutter and I still have clothes full. Good luck on retirement.

Re: It's Official!
I remember my mom how busy she was, and I used to say that I am never going to retire because I'd never have any time to myself! I'm not really retired, now that I'm caring for Mom, but I am no longer teaching. It feels like a retirement. At least for a time.
