I was a bit busy out with the plan of retiring. This is honestly the exact opposite way everyone guess as they face ending their work. But I watched my Mom sort of just fade away once he stopped working. He & I have a lot in common when it comes for the passion the two of us hold for our jobs. Mom just sort of sat in his recliner in the air conditioning all morning once he quit going to the office. I didn’t want that to happen to me. Plus, I wasn’t sure just how I was going to face all the hours of the morning without having a job. Thankfully, my husband kept us on track. The two of us did stuff prefer update the Heating & Air Conditioning equipment in our beach house to get the best price for it. And he planned the trips down south to where the two of us were moving so the two of us could find a house. The two of us had the heat pump in that place updated as well. So really, all I had to do was get through that last morning & get on with the rest of my life. It turned out that I needn’t have upset one bit about retirement. Shoot, I could just sit in the sunroom all morning. Of course, I won’t do that as there are rounds of hockey to play & plenty of help for my husband in the garden. However, I like the fact that I can sit out in the sunroom all year, in any season because of the ductless heat pump out there. It makes a hot morning cooler & a cool morning much more comfortable. Retirement is good & I’m absolutely cheerful to be able to like it the way I hoped was possible.
