Be prepared for change, change and more change.
Then be prepared to wait!

Sadly, I announced my plan to retire from work almost 5 months in advance. I had informed work informally of one date and then we had to postpone that date!

In a way it worked out nicely for my employer since they had time to find someone to replace me and has given me plenty of time to train this person. However I certainly wish I'd done this differently. Now it seems I have time to kill while on the job - so I'm researching alot and blogging more than I used to.

However it feels like I'm living that old adage - hurry up -- and wait! Just a bit of tension here.

Gee, am I going to make it through the winter? We've got alot going on with my husband's family - elder care, Alzheimers, etc. And we're anticipating the polar vortex over the next few days.

Hunting seems to be keeping my husband busy. Plus he's now counting the days til he retires (he's retiring before me - at the end of December). That's going to be interesting! How will he keep busy??!! I bet he'll be snowplowing everyone's driveway in the park - ha-ha!
