BACK TO SCHOOL
Oh Wait! I didnt go - but instead spent my first day with the retired ladies having breakfast!
This time last year if you would have asked me about retirement I would have said no way. But as my colleagues always told me - you will know when the time comes. And they were right, by January I was ready and planned my retirement for July 1.
So today, instead of a first day back to school I celebrated at a local diner with other friends who retired....we talked, we laughed, we ate and truly enjoyed our new found freedom. I realized that no longer will I have to get up at 5:30 am to get ready for work and travel to my job. I can have that 2nd cup of coffee....check my emails and then......do what I want.
So today it was breakfast with friends and on the way home I did some Avon business by stopping by local businesses, introducing myself and asking permission to leave books at their establishment. All in all it was a great day.....now on to another cup of coffee.....

That's fantastic to hear! I'm so glad you enjoyed your day. I'm sure it's nice not to have to wake up early. I was going to have my cup of coffee after dropping my son off at school, but while there, I was called in for a sub job.
ReplyDeleteI can get used to it...lol and not sure I even want to sub...May see how it goes so far. Hope you have a great school year!
