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!
