And ... Done.
Yesterday was emotional, sad, happy, and wonderful. Really, how bad a day can it be when dozens of people keep telling you that they love you?
So, I am retired. I embarked on my first day of retirement thusly:
I went to the drive-in window at the bank. I couldn't pull out straight onto the street because there was roadwork there, so I backed up out of the drive-in lane and took my driver's side outside mirror clean off. Hmm. I picked it up and put in the car, and drove the block to my mechanic's, where I have an appointment for service on Monday anyway; I wanted them to be able to order the part in advance.
I ran numerous errands and then went for a physical with the new doctor. All is well; she found me remarkably healthy for someone with as many ailments as I have and who is on as much medication as I am. Then I went to the lab for bloodwork and an EKG. I'll leave out every little detail, but the EKG printed out that I was currently having a myocardial infarction, which I clearly was not having, and the doctor had just pronounced me in good health, and I felt totally fine. So, no, I wasn't having a heart attack, although I'm guessing their EKG machine was. I have a regular visit to the cardiologist next week and I'm sure he'll do another one.
Tomorrow I have another doctor, and my massage, and then I want to do a little of K's packing in the living room to make room for more. Oh, did I mention that R and the SnL have also found a new apartment, and will actually be moving a week before K moves? So that's both of them moving within the next ... month, I guess it is. Oy.
I took a couple of parting pictures of the high school, but I don't have them on the computer yet, so I'll post those next time. I spent the last two days upgrading the phone to ios4 and converting and uploading books, and such. But I forgot to do the pictures.
I'm going to read a magazine now, because I can.
"So, no, I wasn't having a heart attack, although I'm guessing their EKG machine was. I have a regular visit to the cardiologist next week and I'm sure he'll do another one." Haha that made me snort. Glad to hear you're not having a heart attack because that would, you know, suck.
ReplyDeleteI updated my iTunes night before last, but had to wait till yesterday to update to iOS4. That was kind of a pain in the butt. It took a while too. But I do like the new features. I only have an iPod, but I love having folders. I can't seem to get the multitasking to work. It may not be applicable to the iPod.
Did you check out iBooks? It looks pretty cool, and you get a free copy of Winnie the Pooh. I do balk at paying $13 or so for an eBook. I don't even pay that much for a trade paperback I can re-sell or give away.
Congratulations. I wish you only good things about your retirement. ~LA
ReplyDeleteHappy retirement! I do believe retirement in general is becomming an endangered species-you are one of the lucky ones who had a job that facilitates it.
