Day After Tomorrow

 It's January 25th, and the day after tomorrow is my last physical day of work.  After a life time of working, I am not fooling myself, this is a big lifetime transition.  This is what I have been doing since my teens:

My first job as a teen was at a women's clothing store, then May Company in the boys section, then British Motor Cars, Oles Lumber (much like Lowes... as Asst. Head Cashier), a school bus driver (yes a large bus) for high school students plus their games, parades, Disneyland etc (finally got my bachelors degree in English at this point and moved to WA), was a parapro for high school special needs, became the high school's Career Specialist, and then worked 22+ yrs at GRC (mascot is the Gator) in a couple of positions.  Somewhere on that list between jobs or in summers was Capstone Homes, Seattle Textile, Boeing (summer) and Tech Prep (summer). Raised my daughter and have assisted in raising my grandsons which has been a blast.  

Not working... or having more time, should I say, is going to be strange.  But I am willing to try it out starting next week.  This blog is a journal of my transition and journey.... I welcome you along.

Catching Up

Sunday was a really busy day.  I felt it was time to return to church in person and all 4 of us were there.  I introduced my family to my friends. Next was Costco to get Regan's cake for her grad party. At 2 pm we were at Tim and Angie's at the party.  It was great seeing everyone again.   Monday I got tires and an oil change for my car.  We also checked on the rebate we got in September.  I have to call the Refund Center tomorrow. Today I got the $189 rebate and off to Lowe's we went.  We bought things for the house and garden.  I plan to plant seeds tomorrow.

Celebrating Brady

Image
Saturday evening the family met up at Magenta's house.  I met her lovely dog and cat.  Saw Darian, Savanna, Bella, Marcia, Kenny, Colleen, and Magenta.  We spent 2 hours talking.  The kids worked on a puzzle.  I had a birthday gift for Bella. Sunday was Brady's birthday celebration at Round 1 at the mall.  We left the boys there and Debra, Kari, and I went to Claim Jumpers for lunch.  It was sooooo good.  I had a Cobb Salad with chicken and a Diet Coke.  Debra shared Spinach Dip and a plate of roast Brussel Sprouts.  Yum. Debra is quiting her job because Don now will be working a job for $7,000 a week.  Oh my goodness! Riley tried food in the food court from the Hamburger Shack plus others.  He praised and praised the food he ate.  He's such a foodie now.  And cooks well himself. Good day

Autumn

Didn't post yesterday but I was going to mention how beautiful this time of year is.  September with summer slipping away and long shadows, October is brilliant with color, and November is subtle and subdued with coziness.  As the wind or rain chases out the last of the leaves, one can see winter coming in.  I am grateful for this time of year and enjoy each moment.
