I retired on 6/1/18 after working from the age of 16 to 70 and that is a big, huge change!!! Even during the period where I was self employed I have always had deadlines, goals, demands - always demanding and sometimes (often) impossible! Suddenly - after a very demanding period of downsizing, packing and moving 1,000 miles to a new land - I can pretty much do what I want, when I want and that is AMAZING - just very, very different!
My sister tried to help out (LOL) by saying she signed me up for a work detail at the near-by Nature Center to clear out the poison oak - really? My husband is steering clear of me so I won't be tempted to supervise or manage him and his activities!!!
So, for now I am very content to sleep a little more, eat a lot better, swim in the pool, go to the gym and get to know Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. Oh, and eat handfuls of wonderful, delicious cherries!
