We took advantage of the free shuttle from the OP Convention Center to and back from KCI last week, and the experience was wonderful! It was on time both ways, the drivers were friendly and helpful, and the buses were new and comfortable. If you’re traveling between now and Sept. 20, I recommend it. You do need someone to drop you off and pick you up at the convention center (or Lenexa City Center), but that’s better than asking for a ride to the airport! Wish this could become a permanent service.

My last day was Friday, and this is the first weekend in which I don’t have to cram every chore and errand into these two days. I’m also ignoring the Sunday scaries, because Mondays no longer exist. The first thing I did Saturday was get a cup of coffee. I’d given up caffeine to keep my moods steady during stressful times. That first cup tasted sooo good! Then I cleaned out and reorganized my home office to reset my mindset, a cathartic exercise. My plan is to enjoy the summer, and in the fall start to think about next steps. I worked full time for 46 years (68f), loved my career, and it wasn’t easy to walk away. Lots of emotions. This sub was extremely inspirational and informative as I journeyed into my decision to retire. Thank you!
