Today is the first day of my retirement or "temporary sabbatical". It feels more like a "stay cation" than retiring. For a lot of years, I had never taken more than a week off, except when I had major surgery six years ago. I was out for a month and a half at that time. So far I haven't done much. I have appointments with doctors later on this week. At least I can catch up on it. Today has been a gloomy kind of day.
