Friday, Nov. 30 was my Last Day at work. I had a wonderful retirement party and I got a tremendous going-away staff gift. (Pictures next week!) I hugged goodbye my despised ex-director who hugged me back and pretended to care. Our wonderfully thoughtful management put the wrong number of years of service on my *Award* plaque. (Not exactly an unexpected development from this gang of twits.) I was going to write more, but last night, I started sneezing my head off and my temperature was slightly elevated. So now, I have the Flu on the First Day of the Rest of My Life. Bleech.
Ah, it's better to get the crappy part over in the beginning so you can enjoy the rest of the time! (just thinking positively) *wink* ♫Happy Retirement♫ ♥Sharon
Thank you, Sharon. I hope my toilet seat cover breaking off isn't another omen of thingies to come! Eeeek! Maybe time to move all those decorating magazines out of the loo? :)
I just discovered your blog through Grace's blogroll. Was just reading through all your posts when I came across this one. When I retied (almost 6 years ago), I got sick the very first day of my retirement. Then I kept feeling better, than worse, then better, then worse for about 6 weeks! I wonder if there's something about getting across that finish line that just takes so much effort, your body rebels right after?
Hello, my name is Melinda, and I started this blog to change the world or to get free shrimp chips online, whichever comes first. (Call me, Asian Food Grocer!) Anyway, I'm Filipino, 50+ and just itching to retire on a smallish fixed income. I don't cook; I don't drive; I don't do Facebook or Twitter; and AMAZON is my second home. And while I am no Jonathan Swift, I do enjoy a bit of snark from time to time. Click the large banner ABOUT ME for my longer profile.
