School is Starting

Today was Open House for the school where I teach. I went just to see how things were going. I saw a few of my old students and talked to the teacher replacing me. I am glad that I am not rushing around trying to get things ready. Even as I looked at her schedule there were no longings to be there. No feelings or needs to be teaching again. No desire to explain the facts of life to children. Just relieve that I no longer need to be there.

Retirement is fun. I can do as I please when I please. This month will be the first time that I have not received a pay check, only my retirement check. Life will be a little harder without that check but if it gets too bad I can always go back to work. I may have to find something else to do. I like to crochet so that may be a place that I can look for some kind of work. I also am going to teach some online courses when I have been retired long enough. That will give me a little money here and there.

Also next weekend I am going to see my son and his wife for the first time since they moved to Idaho. I am looking forward to that. It seems like forever since we saw them but only a couple three months.
