Thanks everyone, especially Una for giving me a laugh out loud moment.
I told my boss I want some time to think it over. She is on vacation this week. We'll talk Monday.
I'm suspicious that HR asked if I would stay on part-time, but aren't offering details of what they want me to do.
Right now I'm leaning towards telling them no.
Eskie, you are right. I have enough to do around the farm and the house to keep me busy for the rest of my life. My concern about being home is two-fold. I need to have some human interaction or I get depressed. It's that wicked cycle of if I don't interact with others I get depressed. Being depressed makes me want to isolate. Isolating makes me more depressed and around we go. Seems the solution to that would be to get out and be around people. I already picked a couple of places to volunteer.
Other concern came up over the weekend. I spent a large part of the weekend vegging and playing games on my phone. I was/am afraid of sliding into that after I retire. I'm reminding myself of two things. First, I end up vegging on the weekends because I'm exhausted from working while dealing with fibro and CFS. Second, I will just have to force myself to get off my arse and do things.
