Today was my last day and I am fficiallynretired altho I will be going back on a part-time basis in about 6 weeks so I am looking at this as an extended vacation. Retiring is bittersweet because I did not think I would be in the situation I am in now when I retired but I am trying to make the best of it.
The office had a cake, of course, and doughnuts, cookies, chips and dip, cheese and meat tray, veggie tray and a punch fountain. The theme was a Hawaiian one because they know I like the beach. Who knows perhaps I will go to Hawaii some day since our Caribbean islands were destroyed by hurricane Irma and are still recovering. I ram ceived several gift cards, flowers, wine glasses, and a bottle of gin (wonder why they think I like to drink–ha ha). Also received a floral arrangement from former court girls that I do HH with every so often. Several of the judges came down and they left me leave at 2. All in all it was a pretty good day.
Relaxing now, have to get up early tomorrow to get ready for the 10 mile bike ride so no champagne tonight!

Hey, hey, hey! Happy retirement AND your 6 week vacation! Find one self-pampering thing to do each day.

Thank you. Does going to a pierogi and wine tasting count as a self-pampering thing? I think so, at least the wine tasting will. Will see about the pierogi tho as I am a purist when it comes to them. Potato and cheese, cabbage and sauerkraut are the only acceptable ones, probably because that is all my grandmother made.
