So life has been a rollercoaster to say the least. No
one's fault, it just has. I truely understand the saying" if I knew then what I know now".

Ok now it is June 19th, 84 days to go, I have spent the morning here at work handing over some of my duties to others for training. This time is really going fast.  I also have been organizing and cleaning out my papers a little at a time as to not shock anyone here when all my personality is removed.

Working here has been really wonderful, everyone here has been wonderful, I have my favorites and they know who they are and I will miss the everyday bantering that goes on here but I will not be far away.  I am going to make a book out of all the pictures that the kids have made for me and I have displayed here over the years and they will get a kick out of that.

No real plans for next fall, but I am looking forward to spending early mornings outside in the fall weather drinking my first cup of coffee before I start my day.

Just an update here, nothing much new.  see ya !

So now it is the 9th of June 2015, really where does the time go? I am 65 years old soon to be 66 and elegible for medicare.  whoopie!!

No kidding I am retireing in Sept.  going through the whole process of signing up for medicare, social security and getting all my ducks in a row.  I have waited for this for a long time and am really ready except unexpectedly I am getting butterflies everytime I think of it, I guess that is nerves.  Although maybe, I think of the old saying that retirement is the begining of the end,  it is some sort of finality, but truth be told it is really the beginning of a new life.  one that you will have to form, fill up, and work at, otherwise you will fade into your recliner never to be seen again.  Having to get this health insurance has been scary for me as I have provided our health insurance for the past 26 years and it has been good health insurance, it would be better if we weren't such sickos here with our diabetes and such.  why didn't I just take better care of myself ugh!

Anyhow I am still really looking forward to the freedom, being able to go when I want to go and sew, make jewelry any time I want with out having to fit in a time schedule of work.  I will not have to think of what day does Christmas fall on, or schedule days off for the kids events. 

I am really excited asside of all the butterflies... just thought I would pop in and say hi, I am still here and still working through life but it has been much easer, less stressful, and I like it that way.

94 days to go but who is counting.............
