One week

A week to go until retirement. I have been training people, a most tedious way to spend my time. I just want to be done. Also it feels as if everyone has already mentally said good-bye so when they see me it's, "Oh, are you still here?" As you predicted, Allison. I hang around the minimum amount of time I am needed and get out of there as fast as I can.

I feel I need a holiday. I didn't take time off this summer, thinking I would make it easier for people at work to get theirs in, and the weekends have been busy. If we weren't away or going to a wedding we had the boys for all or part of every weekend. Maybe the rest of my life will be a holiday.

Yesterday I left work early and lay around all afternoon reading. Quite nice.
