Officially retired

August 4th, 2008 at 05:20 pm

Friday was my last day at work and I am now officially retired. This morning is when I really felt retired since I stayed up reading till almost 2 last night and got up around 10 this morning. Leisurly morning breakfast and blogging so far.

One of the problems I'm facing is I have all this time and all these things I want to do it's hard to pick one and do it Smile

I have 3 tomatoes that are super close to being ready to pick. I bought some netting at WalMart yesterday and need to get out there and protect them from the birds

I finished reading my book The Hunted by William Johnson. Adventure. Very good.

I finished the library book Health Care on Less that you think by Fred Brock. Financial. Very good. Lot's of good information.

    Congratulations!!!

    I've enjoyed reading your blog and hope you'll do more now that you have more time! Are you really 50 or did you retire early?

    Great job! Enjoy! You've worked so hard for this!

    Congratulations on retirement! My mom is one year into hers and she declared the first year "Commitment Free" (meaning no long-term obligations to volunteering, babysiting, etc. More a random approach to her freedom.) She shocked me by taking up yoga, and she is always reading. You will find your new pace!

    Congratulations. I know it must seem strange because your routine has changed. It won't take long and you'll get into the swing of it. Like momcents said "committment free". This is like a honeymoon and you need some time to get your toes wet and to enjoy your time off that you have worked so hard for.

    Wow - THE day has arrived! That's awesome!

    I remember when I quit working it took me almost a year to stop driving like I was going to a fire every time I got behind the wheel. Hadn't realized how tense I was about on-time arrivals.

    You'll catch your own biological rythms soon enough!

    ENJOY - ENJOY - ENJOY!!!!

    I have been retired over a year and I'm still having trouble picking my projects. I have decided I need to make a schedule.

    Enjoy your transition to the good life!
