I had my final separation clearance interview at 9:00 a.m. this morning with Security, turned in my badge and emergency evacuation kit. Signed a paper swearing to a lot of stuff I won't do, yadda yadda yadda.
Oh my, it feels so great to be RETIRED! Today I've started on a road that I've never gone down before -even the air smells different! But you know, at the same time it really hasn't hit me yet that I'm retired, maybe it will next week! I keep expecting something to wake me up, LOL.
My coworkers gave me a nice retirement party yesterday, I didn't have my camera but someone will send me her pictures and I'll share them.
So, what was the first thing I did as a retired lady?? I went to the car wash!
here's somebody getting the deluxe wash; I got the quickie!
This is just after my suds were rinsed off; I think the flag was a great touch...
and their super-duper hot air dryers blowing off the water.
Hey, ya gotta do what ya gotta do!
Sew forth and sew on til later...
The first few days of my retirement I would think to myself, at this particular time of the day I would be doing ******* if I was still working, and then I would just smile!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations Linda! Enjoy it for all of us still punching the time clock!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to a wonderful way of life.
ReplyDeleteI gave myself the first year of retirement free from any schedule. I even stopped teaching quilting that year. It was great. The next year I eased back into obligations and schedules. Now, like everyone else that is retired, I don't know how I found time to work! Enjoy yourself a lot!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your retirement!

ReplyDeleteCome to the QU quilt show tomorrow at Dulles Expo Center, Chantilly, VA. Penny and I plan on being there when it opens. As to retirement, I never kept a calendar when I was working. Now that I am not working I do. My husband is looking forward to retirement and his statement about it is "I have plans to have no plans."
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!
Congratulations on your retirement!
