I was not counting the days until recently starting my countdown. Next week we go into December, and that is my final month of employment in my current job.
S[in} — Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. I am indeed looking forward to my upcoming retirement. My brother Craig has been in retirement mode for several years now.
While vacationing in Dayton this past summer I caught the bug from Craig and am quite excited about the change in pace that's coming.
I will stay busy. One project on my list is to look after some yard work at our old place where son James (and his wife, Stephanie) presently live.
I'm sure you will have plenty to do. My father has been retired for about eight months now. He said he never ceases to be amazed at the "to do" list my mother has for him.
S[in] — I am afraid to ask Shirley if she is preparing a "honey do" list. I should find out soon enough.
It will be nice to not have a strict deadline to meet for various things.
At work, as I speak with those who have retired family members, one thing stands out. Many retirees miss the aspect of "being needed." My job fits that in many ways.
I am active on our Safety Committee as the Injury and Illness Prevention Program Taskforce Chair. This is a rather dynamic program, keeping me on my toes, providing a sense of accomplishment.
The adjustment to retirement is more mental than anything else, I figure. Because I am already 'mental' there should be no problem.
S[in] — Thanks for the vote of confidence. Of course, Craig has babysitting duties on a somewhat regular basis.
If you recall, Nancy and Jeff overlap on their work-time. She, as you know, is a Dayton police officer and Jeff is correctional officer at the jail. (Gee, I wonder how they met.)
I never end up watching the grandkids; however, I believe I shall stay busy nonetheless.
And if I get bored I will call Craig and ask him what I should do.

Hey, if your brother can do it, I have confidence you'll do just fine.
