Last Day

Well it’s been quite a week.  Lunch out with my collegues on Tuesday, along with a bouquet of flowers.  Cake and punch on Wednesday (so much cake I took one home and put it in the freezer for a party sometime this summer).  Of course I have also been eating the rest of the left-over cake for dessert at night.  Any diet plans have been shot to hell as a result.  This is my official last day.  They are making up my retirement “badge” as I write so that I can come back and use the fitness center.  Thing is, it’s 27 miles from home so I might be better off joining the local YMCA.

I’m way more happy than sad at this point.  I’ll miss a few people, but not horribly.  Friendships at work are strange that way.  Once I’m really gone, I’ll fade from these people’s lives pretty quickly.  I have one friend who has some previous foster kids who now live in my town and she will be coming to watch their baseball games….so I probably will maintain that friendship.

Len and I plan to go out to dinner and movie tonight.  Monday morning I begin shapiing my new life.  I must get back on-track too.

    ps Lyn, I just started a new book - Anne Lamott, “Grace (Eventually) Thoughts on Faith” So far I’m liking it very much.

  4. Whoopee!!!!!!!!!! Oh, girl, what a milestone, eh? I know what you’re saying about work friends. They pretty much fit into the work milieu but not the personal one. Oh, I am sooo delighted for you! Have a wonderful retirement!!!!!

  5. Congratulations! How lovely for you! A new life - new interests, new curiosities, new discoveries ;) It’s wonderful.

    I am so excited for you Ms. Lyn!
