So, it seems like a lazy, slow and rainy Saturday afternoon but at this house there is a countdown happening. With the countdown an endlessly long to-do list keeps updating itself.
In FIVE work days hubby is retiring. Just letting that statement sit there and I’m allowing it to percolate in my brain.
In trying not to panic…because where am I going to put him – as his office belongings are slowing taking over a mostly under used second bedroom space in our home.
This retirement process has been building for quite some time- the first discussions being, “Are you kidding? No way!”, to, “Oh, okay…”, with hours and hours of chats in between.
It’s rather exciting and obviously unknown at this point.
Plans for Christmas meals, gift buying and house cleaning in preparation for a holiday are underway and my mind swirls with details…
I like my alone morning time, he spends his days with the multitudes of people.
I enjoy quiet (he likes a radio on), I open the curtains, he may or may not get around to it, will he still kindly make my coffee then quietly leave the house 😊, is he going to expect lunch at home, are we going to go ‘everywhere’ together, do I have to invite him along when I take myself out for breakfast…do we report all our activities to each other…and on and on it goes.
How goes it for others…you out there?
Whats worked and not worked.
Come check it out sometime over the next few months-pretty sure its going to be a a creative journey.
