Retirement...ahhhh, what a relief it is!

First day without any keys to the school and my (former) office was weird.  For over 20 years, I have had access to the school in which I was working any time of the day or night.  I have to say, it really takes a burden off...I thought I would be traumatized, but no!  Cool.  It was weird today in other ways, too...I have so much to do that I kept thinking I have to rush, but I don't!  No deadlines.  Of course, no routines, either...could get really lazy that way...will have to be careful! Hmmm.
Worked outside from about 7am til 9, but my new weedeater kept messing up, so I gave it up and came inside to do some work, got distracted by Facebook and Scrabble, so didn't get much done.  Decided to go visit Mama, but she was in residents' meeting and I didn't want to disrupt her day, so went to Kroger, bought some food for a celebratory supper for Bear (his last day at school).  Fixed cowboy steak, scalloped potatoes, green beans, yeast rolls, and a chocolate cake.  He was surprised!  Finished weedeating with the old weedeater and now ready to watch some tv, knit, and read before bedtime.  I think I can get used to this!
