It's been a long road getting here, but I'm now officially retired!
 I am so looking forward to not having to drag my butt out of bed at zero dark thirty every morning! Looking forward to doing what I want when I want.

Hope you enjoy doing what you want , when you want to as much as I do. Finding things I love doing or just doing nothing when I feel like just taking a few days break. It is nice to be available when things come up you want to do. Have had time for caring for rescued horses during the abuse trial before trailering them to the horse rescue place, volunteer work a couple of times a year at the Ky Horse Park has always been a highlight of my year but couldn't do it this year since I was working night shift foal watch at the time but it was nice to be free to do the foal watch job....a new learning experience for me. Nice to be free to make choices. Enjoy your new chapter of life

Congratulations! Now, first you have to get bored, then go get some pet dragons - my little red from Florida, Rebel, is pictured below, because you'll still be getting up at 6 am so you'll be up to feed them at 6:30.
Then go volunteer as a CASA - Court Appointed Special Advocate or GAL - Guardian ad Litem - for foster kids. In Florida I was a GAL, here I'm a CASA. There are never enough and these kids need us now. I promise you it's the toughest job you'll ever love and you'll love yourself for doing it. I've managed to get a dozen kids adopted in the last 20 years and I still play with some of them.

Werewoman, as much as I support the GAL program there's no way in hades I am going to volunteer with them. I spent the last 18.5 years working with at risk kids and their families. Can't do it anymore. Thanks for all the good wishes folks. I'm loving the heck out of being retired.

My retired friends are more busy than my working friends because they have so many fun things to do hahah they are busy with stuff they “want” to do, not “have” to do.
