I've told a few of you that I am going to be "retiring" from my job of 25 years in May. I am only 47 so this is like a gift from above. My problem is that I only have a couple more months to be here and I absolutely am chomping at the bit to be gone. I am moving in with my boyfriend (who is 10 years older) who says that I don't HAVE to work if I don't want as he makes really good money. Wow is that great or what? have been working since I was 15 and I am a tired puppy....both from the job and from the unholy commute I have endured for 17 of the 25 years! Time has NOT been abundant. I am so ready to get to do things like yoga (not in a hurry), and adapt a regular exercise routine (again not in a hurry), garden, maybe golf, and once I have enjoyed some "me" time and have become less "hyper" I want to maybe do something as a volunteer because I know that I will only be able to be with "just me" for awhile. I need some intellectual stimulation and social interaction or I will go stir crazy. Right NOW what I need is the ability to stay focused on this job and stop daydreaming and future planning on company time....oh and coming in here too....I just don't have the same dedication....and I need to....for my own self respect....Arrrgghhhh.

I wish you the best of luck, but please don't forget us once you've retired, ok?

My mom's best friend is retiring this year. Mom and I are working on a book of new "jobs" she can do now that she is retired. Her husband is miffed she is retiring.
It has been a lot of fun. Now what to do for my mom who retires next year.  Enjoy your time off!
