Retired Again!

I retired officially from working in June of 2005, however a few months later the owner of the place I tanned at asked me if I'd be interested in working on Tuesdays. I said sure, sounded like fun and wasn't much of a commitment. How that one day a week turned into way to many hours and days is beyond me - sometimes it doesn't pay to be a good worker and show up on time and be ready for work, you get the idea. Anyhow I've just burned myself out on the whole thing, there are other reasons as well, but the bottom line is, I just want time at home with CR, time to fish with CR, time to travel when we want to and time to slow down and smell the roses and/or coffee (w/chocolate of course). I decided to give a weeks notice, so I gave that to the owner today and as I had suspected, with things as slow as they are, they told me not to bother coming in next week. However if I decide to work again, they'd love to have me back - which was nice, but again, I've burned myself out with tanning and I guess if I do go back to work, it will have to be something altogether different and new.

So I am a free woman, retired again, my time is my own and I plan to enjoy it. Tomorrow my friend Julie and I are off to the big city - Portland, OR to do some fabric shopping. Should be fun! Saturday I'm getting together with my friend Kelly to have a sew day, we haven't done this for a long time and I can't wait - we always have such a good time together. Sunday I think I'll sleep in and then next week we'll be getting the 5th wheel ready to take off to fish the Methow River. Guess I won't be sitting around complaining that I'm bored!!
