Do we know what you're going to do come November 1?
...wake up, clutch his head, and finally leave the pub?
Nobbly, you are not too far from the truth. But I am amazed, and flattered, as to how many people at work are stopping me to wish me well, or buying me lunch, or a drink after work. I’m regularly asked, “when is your leaving do?”
I never planned a do. I just wanted to sneak off quietly, but I can’t so it will be on Friday 30th Oct. Then I have Saturday to recover.
DF, the 1st November is in some ways a new beginning and in other ways a need to step back. I am not a wealthy person but I can see a chance of financial independence so I am taking it.
What will I do? Years ago I was a very keen gardener. I want to do it again, if only for fresh tomatoes and peppers. And I want grow fruit, I have a south facing wall and I’ve often thought it would be a good spot to train a peach tree. Now I can try. I have a couple of musical projects on offer; I’ll see how that works out. I want to know more about local history, I know a bit but not enough, and there is much to learn.
I will not be idle.
I spent some time this morning pondering what I have declared I want to do and what I need to do to make it a reality. I'm 1/2 way out of my job.. Last day is Nov.30.. and how long I can manage to go w/o a full-time job remains to be seen. I can accomplish something.. get this book written, so that will be the goal and the reward. I can't quite take retirement yet, but I can start to enjoy life on my terms.. and that's a good start.
Your plans, if that's what we call them, sound quite wonderful. Taking on some fun challenges, puttering, playing your music. Sounds great!
