Thank you everyone for all your well wishes. I thought today's last day at work would be boring and dull but I just got home an hour ago. Working way past normal quitting time I've realized the stress of all the planning and sometimes worrying seem to not be going away. It's not a financial worry, maybe a little worry about health insurance, Medicare etc. but I finally realized it's mostly the emotion of grief. The loss of something that I partnered with for 43 years has gone away. It's nowhere near as strong as when my wife of 28 years passed away 6 years ago but it is a similar feeling.
I AM looking forward to the future and I'm tossing around a few different ideas for projects beyond some travel in the new trailer. I WILL be making the U.P. my first Spring stop. Has the snow started melting yet, LOL? Gosh, I hate snow now.
