Here I am. It has been months since I posted on this blog. A lot of things have happened since that time. Recently, I filed my papers for retirement. Thirty-seven years working for a government agency is enough, don't you think. It is amazing what stress can do to your body and how the lack of it can heal. I went to give platelets at the Red Cross near the first of September, which I do once a month. My blood pressure was 132/ 62, the lowest it has been in years.
Since I filed my retirement, my supervisor has taken me off the on-call list and other activities. Boy, it feels good. I'm looking forward to December 1st, my first day of retirement and my wife's birthday. She says this is the best birthday ever. She is also looking forward to my being home with her everyday and so am I. She is the love of my life. We seem to love each other more and more each day. I guess being newly weds of 37 years is the reason. I miss her everyday when I am at work. We argue over who loves the other the most. I don't know how I could love her more or she love me more.
Retiement is going to be different to say the least. I have had a job since I was 15 1/2 years old. But guess what? They are going to pay me to stay home. What a deal!
I will try to post more often, especially after Dec. 1st....
