Tooner Retired Today 1/3/17
- Thread starter scratch
- Start date
It was the best feeling ever, as I threw (gently) my coat and vest on the boxful of uniforms I brought in the am, I felt like I was 16 again.
Pushing four years gone for me, Tooner.
I don't think I've ever been so relaxed.
Best of luck, kiddo.
I
think I am. My bp is 114/78 most days, no meds of any kind. Arthritis in knees and hands, albeit some heredity, mostly not wearing gloves in the cold, and the old high steppers. A little extra weight from eating dinner at 9 or later, it usually starts disappearing anyway when on vacation. I think I will be fine, thanks!
Any big plans?
No big plans. I won 50 bucks in the mega last night>
? Good sign? Got to have dinner with a friend I hadnt seen in ten years. I only worked a half day, so I was able to drive 2 hrs to see him, and have dinner. His daughter has cancer and is days away from dying, so I was glad we could give him some comfort.
I had many thoughts, of how I could leave a mark, all of them evil, but I digress. I was just happy, my kids are proud of me, I am healthy, I am blessed. I dont have any bad feelings anymore, just glad to be gone. I know I will terribly miss my guys, and girls, but Its not like I am dead, just moving on.
All of my buds were happy for me, a little jealous, but I honestly couldnt go any longer.
I got pictures of most, not all. and I made some of the best friends and worked with some of the best, high caliber individuals ever.
I even got a hug and best wishes from one management person, which was totally unexpected.
I feel brand new. My dog got me up at 6 am, I havent used an alrm in 8.5 yrs. I took her out in the crisp am air and thanked God, I didnt have to work outside, LOL.
So now I will have time, maybe get another dog, volunteer at a shelter, work a little pt job for beer money, lol. work on my house, work in my gardens, go visit my kids and grandkids more. Maybe take a jaunt out west with no schedule.
But for nowI am just basking in my freedom. I love ya all. thanks for the wishes!!
